Nashville: Hillsboro Village and Beyond
Food Scene - within walking distance
Nashville has a fantastic food scene. Many restaurants are walkable from the cottage.
You'll be happy with any menu item, but the Lily is our favorite.
Walk to this location - our neighborhood one - versus waiting for hours (yes it can be hours!) at the original storefront location in the Gulch. The food is the same but the lines are shorter and you can waddle back to the cottage, stroll through Hillsboro Village for shopping or head downtown. : )

Music venue favorites
You can hear music almost anywhere. The center for the music universe is downtown, but keep an eye on the numerous other venues. Please bring cash with you as the tip jar will be passed around. If you like what you hear, the performers would appreciate you parting ways with your cash.
You can make a reservation or wait in line and hope you can get in. You will hear amazing singer-songwriters. Be forewarned that if you talk during the signing, they will kick you out. So, sit down, relax, and enjoy the show. After all, isn't that why you're there?

Tucked between two universities, Vanderbilt and Belmont, this primarily residential enclave grew up around the old streetcar line that spoked out from downtown in the first half of the 20th century. The Hillsboro Village strip of shops and restaurants has seen many changes through the years, but it still exhibits much of the character of the past along with a few more modern and flashier restaurants and boutiques. For an inexpensive and quick ride downtown, hop the No. 7 bus for just $2. Nashville’s public transit doesn’t run very late at night, so you might need to arrange alternate transportation home.
The campuses at Belmont and Vandy are both excellent locales for a stroll through the green spaces and attractive academic buildings. Known worldwide for its excellent music business program, Belmont features a small gallery of iconic guitars, appropriately named The GIG, and Vanderbilt’s Sarratt Student Center houses a small art gallery with rotating exhibits. The main strip through Hillsboro Village offers fun shopping at stores like Hey Rooster General Store, Posh, Tribe Kelley, and A Thousand Faces.
