Food scene

One of my absolute favorite restaurants in Nashville that happens to be less than a mile down 12th Ave South. It’s is a family-owned Lebanese bistro with a warm and welcoming ambience and the food is just divine.

Josephine is a fantastic choice for special occasions, and staying with us in The Napping House has got to be one of those, no? It is probably the fanciest restaurant in 12 South, as well as the closest one to us, and I’m sure that means something.

Chances are if you have never been to Jeni’s and visit the one a couple blocks from us, you will become one of those people who will not stop talking about the place. :) As someone who prefers tater tots to sweets I must admit I don’t feel compelled to visit, but I have been assured numerous times that I am truly missing out.

12 South Taproom & Grill has a big covered outdoor patio, opens at 11am, and always seems to have a good crowd. There is an awesome selection of beer, cocktails, and the food is surprisingly tasty.

Sightseeing

If you are itching to get outdoors to walk, bike, or hike, definitely recommend checking out Radnor. It is beautiful and easy access, though definitely can get full on weekends and holidays.

Music Venues

The Ryman is hands down one of the most special music venues we have ever been to, and it is just as incredible every time we visit. Definitely recommend checking out live music if you can, but they also have tours during the day for interested parties.
