Where We Stayed: Graduate Nashville
Why We Love it: It’s pink and Dolly Parton themed, complete with a canopy covered shrine to Dolly over each king-sized bed. Need I say more? It's Every Je Babe’s Dream. We love that it’s in Midtown, so it provides both proximity to Broadway and a nice escape from the hustle and bustle of downtown. Head upstairs to the “White Limousine” for the ultimate bachelorette party people watching. Score a photo with the giant pink Dolly Parton head if you’re ready to fight your way through brides in white fringe and rhinestone cowboy hats for the shot. May the odds be ever in your favor. Cute pink pool during the daytime. Pool Reservations required.
Where We Ate: Assembly Food Hall Located at 5th and Broadway.
411: They have something for everyone, and unlike most food halls, every vendor brings the heat. Grab anything from Birria tacos from Chilangos Tacos (drool) to lobster truffle fries from Dock Local. They also have Nashville favorites like Princes Hot Chicken and Pharmacy Burger. Don’t forget to grab a drink and catch the live music. Top it off with custard style ice cream from Hattie Janes. Try the "unicorn parfait" for those whose phone eats first.
411: By far my one of my top Nashville picks! I suggest making reservations ahead of your trip, but no worries they have a wait list on Resy and Brooklyn based “Mothers Ruin” is a few blocks down if you need a fun place to grab a cocktail while you wait. Once you’re in, you must try the handmade pastas and the chicken is an experience you will never forget.
Where: 5 Daughters Bakery
411: Lined with local boutiques like Imogene and Willie serving up custom denim in an old gas station, and Moda boutique who has the best accessory assortment. The neighborhood has a heartbeat of its own and oh the vintage, in the shops and on the streets! You never know what fringe and leather treasures you may find in the back of a hipster’s dodge caravan. IG baddies don’t forget to stop by the “Believe in Nashville” Mural on 12th St in Howells Alley.
