~ We're heading to Nashville in May (first time in decades)
Staying downtown, and have a few things scheduled.
Ryman Auditorium show (bucket list)
Zoo
Biking
Johnny Cash Museum
Honky Tonk Central
BlueBird Cafe

We're not country fans per se, but enjoy Bluegrass, Americana, Honky Tonk, Folk, Rockabilly, etc.

Any other places of interest we shouldn't pass up?

Thank you in advance!
 
#1 The traffic was a LOT worse than I expected for a city the size of Nashville.
#2 Johnny Cash Museum is pretty good
#3 People will **** on this recommendation and there are probably better places but I really liked Hattie B's hot chicken. The hour long lines displayed that I'm not the only one.
4. Third Man Records is a good place to check out
5. If you drink, try a Bushwacker
6. I found Hermitage worth the visit

I haven't went in a long time so this info may be outdated

Order food online and get in 5 min while everyone else waits in line for 15-60 min




Aldean's was our fav bar if going Broadway, try during the week. Too many ppl Fri/Sat but Thurs was perfect.

So glad someone posted about Nashville. I've been trying to get the wife to go there with me. Cheap, direct flights for us and a nice extended weekend.

She is less than excited for it as she doesn't see much she would really enjoy down there. So I'm excited to see what people say is worth the time/effort.

Just got back a few days ago.
Get tickets to see "The Time Jumpers." They play every Monday evening at a club at 3rd and Ash. Some times Emmy Lou or Vince Gill just shows up and sits in with them.
For lunch one day, find "Sweats." Is a soul food lunch place just north of downtown, you won't be sorry.
Do walk the strip and enjoy the night life as others have said. I find the old reiman auditorium downtown much more meaningful to visit, rather than the new Opery.
Stop and eat at Jubilee Cafe just outside Peoria if your travels take you that direction. A bunch of old women serving real food. Enjoy.

Are we talking about the Ryman or the Opry. The Ryman is worth the time IMO.
Totally agree. No interest in Grand Ol Opry.

We're heading to the original Grand Ol Opry venue -- Ryman Auditorium, which books a variety of acts.

After scheduling vacation, I discovered John Mellencamp has a 3-night stop @ the Ryman during our stay. Super-pumped. So I have tickets for one of those shows
