Summer 2012: Nashville, Tennessee by Kristina Gill
The Parthenon is a 1:1 scale replica of the Greek monument. Located in Centennial Park, when it’s not too hot outside, a picnic on the lawn is in order. A bit further down in the park, you can find crafts fairs, food fairs, and Food Truck Thursdays.
Barista Parlor: A hipster coffee bar fitted out in an old garage. It has good (and very expensive) coffee and edibles.
City House is a restaurant with a wood-burning stove and an Italian-inspired menu, located in historic Germantown neighborhood of Nashville. The cocktails at the bar are good. Reservations a must.
Bobbies Dairy Dip sells gigantic soft serve ice cream, but also burgers, hotdogs, french fries. It’s a summer thing. When the weather’s cold, Bobbie’s is closed!
House of Hickory is a BBQ stand where you buy BBQ to take away. The owners have been on the competitive barbecue circuit for decades, and have won some prestigious titles. They teach classes. Like most BBQ places in Nashville, they’re closed on Sundays!
