Unique Things to Do in Nashville

Welcome to my completely unorganized but oh-so-helpful map of Nashville! An absolute smorgasbord of my own travels and research, suggestions from friends and strangers, and many treasures found along the way, this is where I compile all things Nashville for my future trips and yours. Things I particularly love that you’ll find a lot of:
☕️ Coffee shops & bakeries
🌮 Local cuisine
🏛️ Museums of all kinds
🌳 Gardens & parks
🛏️ Boutique hotels
🍕 Small regional chains with good reputations

All my guides in this category are $5 per 100 places included, but since I add to these constantly, you can lock down the lowest price today and gain a lifetime access!

Redheaded Stranger

Redheaded Stranger is in East Nashville and is an absolute GEM. The vibes here are high, with delicious food and drinks. 
You can mix and match different tacos, order a crunchwrap, or even a burger. Something that's different about this place is you can order queso and guac, but they serve it with soft tortillas. NO CHIPS. 
While you are there, be sure to try the Dr. Pepper Hot sauce and ask for a mixture of the Mango (has a nice lil kick to it) and Strawberry margaritas! 

Try the chorizo tacos! I usually prefer corn tortillas but I think their flour tortillas here are better.

Cocktails & Southwestern fast food dished up in a bright, quirky eatery with patio seating

Suggestion from Madison Josey. Open M-F 10-9, Sat/Sun 8-9 (stays open til 10 F/Sat).

The one with the crispy cheese on the outside is my love language.
