Long day yesterday? Need a day of more chill vibes? This will be a good day for ya. Not much planned, time to take time at spots and just slow rollin through town.
Hungover? Tired? Need a break from the crazy Broadway scene? Need a day to ease into the weekend? Start here!
Follow this itinerary and you’ll have a fun memorial day of shopping, good conversation and shopping. You may even run into a celebrity. (Remember, please do not bother them)

The day begins with brunch at Buttermilk Ranch. Hands down, one of the restaurants in Nash. IMO.. oh, and when you go, forget about calories.
Recommendations: Loaded Ranchers as a starter. (Potatoes, pork belly, queso, chives, ranch.)
For coffee... can’t forget that. the iced strawberry matcha with chocolate milk OR Honey Lavender latte. but my favorite drink of all there, the Nashville sunrise juice. YUM.
If you’re a drinker, (I'm not) but I have heard cocktails here are a must, at least try one!
For your meal, it depends on what you’re feelin. I'm more of a lunch/brunch girl. If i had to choose a breakfast item under the "what’s crackin" it would be the corned beef has skillet. for the lunch menu, I’m a big burger girl so I will always go for a burger! Their burger is delish!!! but... you’re in nashville. Gotta get the chicken and biscuits at least once.
For sides, you’ll see. Tons of options. Hard to narrow it down so going to have to go with your gut in the moment.
And of course, don’t forget to tip your server 😊

Time to walk off breakfast!
This is your time to spluge a little and see the latest trends in fashion! A few of these stores have make your own trucker hats or bags with patches. Great for wedding day pictures or for pictures throughout the weekend. As well as a souvenir to bring home to remember the weekend.

Time to Uber!
Time to head to your 1st activity of the day! LIP LAB! (You DO need to book ahead of time!)
Lip Lab in Nashville is a unique, interactive experience where you can create your own custom lipstick or lip gloss. Choose your shade, finish, and even a scent while working with a color expert to design your perfect lip product. It’s a fun and creative activity, ideal for groups or anyone looking to add a personal touch to their makeup collection.

Whew! You make it to lunch, I’m sure you worked up an appetite.
Three options here… due to the chance of an extremely long line at Hattie B’s... but also dependent on the vibe you’re going for.
1. Hattie B’s Hot Chicken – I recommend the chicken sandwich with the special sauce 😉 (Famous hot chicken!)
2. Blanco (possible walk in’s but most likely need a reservation)- Nachos Con Queso for the table, ANY of the margs and at least 2 tacos with the rice and black beans.
3. Inside 5th and Broad (Tons of different options in here, allows for everyone to get their own favorite) This is super cool. I would at least check this out.

Time to walk and shop!
5th and Broad is new to Nashville! It’s quite a neat area! There are shops all right there so I won’t list them out because you will end up passing them. But GREAT photo opportunities here and the ice cream and Jennis… just trust me. Stop if you can. It’s a Nashville favorite.
If you find yourself making it though there sooner than you thought head to Broadway and people watch. (I could do that for hours!) Don’t recommend going into a bar at this point because you’ll get sucked into the music, people and drinks and will miss your next stop! For now… just walk and watch. You will have PLENTY to see LOL. If you want to skip Broadway, I UNDERSTAND. No worries! Just head to your Air B and B/ Hotel and time to get ready for dinner and a night out <3
-
You will need a reservation!
I cannot wait for you to see this place! IYKYK. It’s so cute. It’s a skylight restaurant and just so amazing. Take your time here, enjoy each others company and embrace the ambiance.
Reccs for dinner:
Pizzas: Mushroom and Kale (add bacon!!)
Entrées: Salmon or the wood grilled steak (Medium Rare)
Dessert: Sticky Toffee Cake or the Affogato
Don’t forget a cocktail and to tip your server!

Want to go barhop but not have to deal with the bumping shoulders? screaming people? drunk dudes trying to get your number? LOL that’s always a compliment… but no.
Printers Alley is a great option here.
It’s right down the street from Broadway and feels like a whole different area but conveniently placed in the heart of town. It’s a hidden gem, that’s for sure!
Places to stop:
BOURBON STREET BLUES BAR
LONNIE'S WESTERN ROOM
THE WHISKEY SHOT
DIRTY LITTLE SECRET
ALLEY TAP
I’m excited for you to experience this and get a good picture. There’s a spot for it!
