re: Heading to Nashville need some recs

I had a lot of fun driving through the lights of Jellystone with my family

Where is the District? Been here 30+ years and never heard of it.

The "district" is the Downtown District, but I wouldn't expect a scared white-flighter like yourself to know that. Hell, there used to be "Dancin' in the District," and guess where it was? I'll give you a hint: It wasn't in Madison.

You sound like a miserable person. If the sky is falling so quickly, you should probably leave middle TN. As the lower classes get priced out of Nashville, they only have surrounding counties to escape to. Pretty soon you'll have brown neighbors.

Nashville is a great city. We've got our issues, which are the same as many other cities. We thankfully voted Briley out, and I believe Cooper has a good financial head on his shoulders, despite being a so-called "libtard" in your one-sided world view.

OP, how old are your kids? Minors make seeing live music difficult. Station Inn will let minors in if they're with you. Most music venues will be 18+ or 21. There are a few good shows I see on the city's calendar for Friday, but they'll be 21+.

If you want some less touristy places to dine, my go-to's are Miel or Eastland Cafe.

To those saying Princes > Hattie B's, you may be correct, but the OG Prince's is closed and has been closed for many months now. They have a franchise out in Antioch, but not many tourists make it out that far. Hattie B's is perfect serviceable hot chicken, but if you find yourself on the East side, hit up Pepperfire or Bolton's. Don't do the Bolton's on 8th. It's terrible compared to the Main St. location.

The best under-the-radar place to eat, IMO, is Subculture. It's not fancy and it's not close to anything, but it'd be a good spot for a lunch - especially if you're going to the zoo.

Speaking of the Zoo, they have Zoolimination going right now. It's a Chinese lantern exhibit. We went the other night and it's actually pretty awesome, but if your kids are teens they might find it lame.

Opryland has their holiday thing going on right now. It's been years since I've done it, but it was always a place I liked to take out of towners. Park next door at the mall's movie theater for free and walk over. They have the indoor ice thing, too.

There's supposed to be some Christmas lights thing going on at First Tennessee Park. I know nothing about it since it's the first year, but might be cool. LINK

I keep saying I want to try Sunda! Menu looks great.

Finding a hot chicken place for my son for lunch

So we drove south to Prince’s. Let’s use a chain for a barometer. I eat the China syndrome wings at wild wings but I’ve eaten a dozen brave hearts a time or two.
Hot chicken was a different type of burn but that shite was hot. Legit hot.
Tried the XX hot. Why do people order that shite lol

Yeah my stomach is already feeling a little sea sick that’s a lot of red pepper

What time do the bars typically start the live music? Starting at LA Jackson and walking down broadway looking for some good music without kids

This is gonna blow my night up. Any places let a 17 year old? I’m seeing ACME may be a possibility

I like Robert’s Western World, but I’m more a classics guy. Kids would probably prefer the Stage or FGL.
