    There are a number of pizza restaurants and Chinese buffets in and around the area. The following are examples of more prominent establishments in the Nashville area:
  • Arnold's. 8th Avenue South. A classic "meat and 3" restaurant located in downtown. Arnold's has been a Nashville establishment for years and always attracts a crowd.

  • Hermitage Cafe. Open 24 hours, this diner-coffeeshop is divey, friendly, cheap, greasy, and as southern as white gravy on fried chicken. Perfect if you're drunk or a night owl, which most of the other customers here are (except at breakfast, which draws a mix of polite older couples and hungover kids). An ancient cigarette machine and a well-stocked jukebox. Just south of downtown on Hermitage Ave.

  • Jersey Mike's. Get a really good sub-sandwich (think Subway with a little more flavor) meal here for under seven bucks. Three locations, including White Bridge Road.

  • Bobby's Dairy Dip. An endearingly dingy 50s ice cream stand on Charlotte Ave., recently revived into a popular summer mainstay that's popular with every demographic. Their hamburgers, hot dogs, and fries are some of Nashville's favorites, and the strawberry shortcake's great.

  • Las Palmas. A pretty good Mexican place on Charlotte Ave. (between White Bridge and 42nd), you can get a nice filling meal here for under ten bucks. There's another location off Broadway at 19th Ave. and one at Nipper's Corner in Brentwood.

  • Las Paletas. Save room after your Mexican meal for Las Paletas' delicious homemade popsicles in exotic flavors! The Paz sisters ate them often when growing up in Mexico and have now brought us their own take on the treats. Hibiscus, basil, chocolate jalapeno, and rose petal are all delicious; so are the tamer versions, like mango, raspberry, chai tea, chocolate chip cookie, and Mexican caramel. This popular little shop is located on 12th Ave. S. at Kirkwood in the Cypress Building.

  • Taste of India. If you're in midtown in midday, check out this little Indian place on Church Street near 18th. Its $6 lunch buffet is cheaper than that at Sitar down the block, plus its food is far better and more varied.

  • Maggie Moo's. Reigns as Nashville's premier ice cream shop, and is conveniently located next to the Green Hills location of Basante's.

  • La Hacienda Tacqueria. With two outposts along the largely Hispanic strip of Nolensville Road, this popular restaurant serves some of Nashville's most authentic Mexican food. The tacos and shrimp cocktails are very popular.

  • Bongo Java. The first and most relaxed in a very successful local mini-chain of quirky coffeehouses, Bongo Java is a meeting place for the young, the arty, and the students at Belmont University just across the street. Linger for hours on the huge porch over several cups of their incredibly strong, flavorful coffee, and take advantage of the free computer, wifi, and chess set use. On Belmont Blvd. across from the school; nearby sister coffeehouse Fido in Hillsboro Village attracts a more yuppie/Vandy crowd.

  • Rotier's. An old, friendly neighborhood joint whose hamburger and milkshake...

    Memphis Soulsville Music Tour 2 hours

    Memphis Soulsville Music Tour

    The founders of Stax Records in Memphis tapped into the talents of a racially diverse neighborhood - the kids hanging out at the record store, in the churches and high schools, even the local supermarket - and wound up creating a vibrant, sultry new style of music that moved people the world over.

    R-e-s-p-e-c-t, Soul Man, Dock of the Bay and In the Midnight Hour are just a few of the hits created at this legendary studio. See where it all began: in a humble old movie house on McLemore Avenue, and the neighborhood that came to be known as Soulsville USA.

    As your musician guide performs soul classics, you will see W.C. Handy House, Lorraine Motel, Soulsville USA (home to such greats as Aretha Franklin, Maurice White of Earth, Wind, and Fire, and Booker T. Jones), and Royal Studio (home of Hi Records). You will also visit Stax Museum of American located at the original site of the legendary Stax Records, where the memory of Stax soul music legends are kept alive.

    Join the fun and make use of the tambourines, bongos and shakers on board as you become part of the performance and find your own rhythm and soul!

    Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum Flexible

    Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum

    The Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum has been the home of America's music since 1967. In keeping with the cultural significance of the music and the heroic achievements of those who form its membership, the Museum opened in a $37 million landmark new building in May 2001.

    Located on the west bank of the Cumberland River, just a few steps from the historic Ryman Auditorium and the honky-tonks of Lower Broadway, the monumental edifice, a visceral experience for approaching visitors, invigorates the skyline in downtown Nashville's entertainment district.

    Inside, the Museum presents the crown jewels of its vast collection to illustrate country music's story as told through the turns of two centuries. A treasure trove of historic country video clips and recorded music, dynamic exhibits and state-of-the-art design, a regular menu of live performances and public programs, a museum store, live satellite radio broadcasts, on-site dining, and fabulous public spaces all contribute to an unforgettable Museum experience.

    Until 31 December 2007, see the exhibit - I Can't Stop Loving You: Ray Charles and Country Music - which will provide an overview of Charles' remarkable career with a central focus on his country music influences and his contributions to the growth and ennoblement of the genre. From the earliest known photograph of Charles through his final televised performance, the media-rich exhibit honors Charles as “one of the most revered and recognized musicians in the world.” The exhibit will also include artifacts, instruments, song manuscripts, costumes, photographs, computer interactives, recorded sound and moving images.
