Last updated: 11/4/25 After several years of living in south Mississippi, we’re big fans of cajun and creole cuisine. While I’m still on the search for a decent King Cake here, we have found a couple different places to get poboys. When Spicy Boy’s opened up in East Nashville a couple years ago with their…
Last updated: 10/31/25 I’m always a fan of a good food hall, so it’s not surprising that I love getting lunch at the Market House at the Nashville Farmers’ Market. While the outdoor farm sheds at the market are only open on the weekends, you can visit the restaurants and shops at the Market House…
Last updated: 10/22/25 UPDATE: All People Coffee is closed, and this space now houses Momento Coffee. If you’ve driven through East Nashville’s Cleveland Park, you’ve probably seen the guitar mural by Kim Radford at Douglas Market Lofts. The bright beautiful exterior is the perfect home for the neighborhood coffee shop All People Coffee. The owners…
Last updated: 10/22/25 L&L Market off Charlotte Pike in Sylvan Park is one of my favorite places to spend an afternoon in Nashville! The building is a former warehouse and manufacturing center that has been converted into a cute shopping center that now houses some of the city’s best shops, restaurants, and businesses. (Read my…
Last updated – 10/22/25 Nashville is more known for its music scene than its literary scene. In 2011, most of Nashville’s bookstores closed, and it seemed like Nashville would be left without any bookstores…until author Ann Patchett and her business partner Karen Hayes opened Parnassus Books. In the years since then, more independent bookstores have…
Last updated: 10/22/25 We were so sad when Status Dough announced that they were closing their Nashville location, but the news that FatBelly Pretzel would be opening in the building helped make up for that loss. I looked for FatBelly Pretzel every time I went to the East Nashville Farmers’ Market over the summer. I…
Last updated – 10/22/25 McGaugh’s Donuts has been a staple in Madison, Tennessee since 1991. The shop, owned and operated by Mack and Renee McGaugh, first opened under a different name but has kept customers coming back for years. Since I’m always up for trying out donut shops, I had to make a stop to…
Last updated: 10/16/25 Sometimes when you visit big cities, it seems like there are the same basic places in each city. Nashville definitely has its own vibe, but after living here for a while, there are some experiences that stand out more than others. Here are a few of the things that you can only…
Last updated: 10/16/25 When you think about the food scene in Nashville, one of the last things that come to mind is Australian cuisine, but surprisingly enough, Nashville has at least one Aussie option (as of right now). The owners of HEARTS were inspired by the food and coffee scene in Melbourne, Australia and have…
Last updated: 10/16/25 Fox’s Donut Den in Green Hills is a classic donut shop that’s been making customers happy since 1976. It feels a little odd to even bother reviewing this place because they are clearly doing something right. During the summer of 2020, I went to Fox’s Donut Den basically every Friday. Partly because…
