Last updated: 11/28/25 Uncle Bud’s consistently makes the Nashville Scene’s Best of Nashville list for catfish. Since I grew up in Mississippi, it should be no surprise that I take the claims for best catfish seriously. Fried catfish is one of my favorite comfort foods. We’ve been to Uncle Bud’s in Donelson a couple of…
Updated: 11/5/25 Part of the reason I started Seeing Tennessee was to encourage us to explore more of our new home state. I absolutely love traveling, but we’re in a season where hopping on a flight, even a short one, just isn’t appealing at the moment. Plus, I’ve learned over the years that the most…
Last updated: 11/4/25 Finding cute coffee shops in East Nashville isn’t difficult. There’s no lack of choices, and new spots seem to open up all the time. Flora + Fauna in Highland Yards is one of the relatively recent additions to the coffee scene. After passing by Flora + Fauna on a frequent basis (and…
Last updated: 11/4/25 My husband and I have lived in Nashville for several years now, but we haven’t even come close to doing everything yet. For 2023, I thought it would be fun to make a bucket list of 23 things to do in Nashville. I’ve focused on four major categories: events, outdoor activities, “classic”…
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 – 7/24/26 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…
