[MidTenn1]

Something I did a few weeks ago, even as a long time native of this city, was take one of the dozens of hop on - hop off bus/trolley tours. It is pure kitsch, but a fun and warm way to see a lot of the city. You can get off in the Music Row area, which I would recommend highly, and walk around over to Vanderbilt and then to the taverns and eateries (including Hattie B's Hot Chicken) on Broadway. That neighborhood, with it's incredible history, charm and character is a unique oasis in an ever increasingly urbanized part of the city.
