Family-style seating for a traditional Southern breakfast, lunch or dinner. This place has been around for years, but it remains an amazing choice. And “family style” means that you’ll sit at a communal table and the servers will bring out big plates of food for everyone to share. It's a great place to meet people.

Possibly the best “meat and three” in America and a place that Nashville natives go for lunch. It’s a James Beard America's Classic award winner. Sadly, they are only open Monday to Friday, 10:30 to 2:30. If you are in town during the week and you don’t go to Arnold’s for lunch, you are doing it wrong.

Like Princes, this is a very popular location for Nashville hot chicken. While it’s not been open as long as Princes, it’s closer, and (unlike Princes), you can get a beer to wash down the pain and regret.

This place is loved by families all over Nashville, including ours. (When she was a toddler, the very first picture our daughter drew was the Jeni’s Ice Cream logo.) Walkable from the suite. Don’t be shy -- ask for several samples before you decide on a flavor.

Drinks & Nightlife
This is truly an amazing place to hear bluegrass and Americana music. The Nashville Scene describes it this way: “Your odds of hearing jaw-dropping instrumental and vocal talent any night of the week are roughly 1:1.” The Station Inn is good every night, but if you play a stringed instrument and are feeling brave, we highly recommend that you consider joining the bluegrass jam on Sunday nights.

No trip to Nashville is complete without a trip to Lower Broadway to drink beer and listen to live music. There are many places to do both, but our favorite is Roberts.

The Country Music Hall of Fame is downtown, and a nice place to spend the day before walking over a few blocks to the honky tonks. The Hatch Show Print shop just off the lobby is a great place to get a souvenir to take home. The suite has two Hatch Show posters.
