Hot chicken = Nashville staple!

1 – Take a Sidewalk Food Tour – We may be a little biased, but food tours are an excellent way to see a city! Sidewalk Food Tours offers two different food tours in Nashville. The Downtown Nashville Food Tour stops for some Nashville hot chicken, the best biscuits ever, Tennessee barbecue, and so much more! On the East Nashville Food Tour you’ll be eating where the locals do. Think hot dogs, the neighborhood pizzeria, and mouthwatering pulled pork. There’s so much more, but we can’t give all of our secrets away…

 

Cooking Classes

Chef it up!

2 – Take a Cooking Class – If you’re interested in getting your hands dirty, it may be a great idea for your group to book a cooking class! It’s interactive, it’s always creative, and you learn something new to take home with you!

5 – Listen to Music While Eating at The Listening Room – The Listening Room is such a gem! We hesitate to share because we love that it’s a lesser known location to hear the best music in the city. Singer-songwriters perform here while you dine on American grub and sip craft cocktails.
