Eat: Favorite Nashville Restaurants

A welcome aspect of "New Nashville" is its ever-expanding restaurant scene. In 2013, when I started telling people in New York City we were moving to Nashville, the general reaction was open-mouthed gape. Since then, the New York Times has proclaimed Nashville an It city, and the city has become an increasingly popular tourist destination as well as earning the dubious distinction of bachelorette capital of the USA. Now, when I return to New York and tell people I live in Nashville, the response is either “I just visited there!” or “I’ve been meaning to visit.” As more people relocate here, it's also facing the myriad of problems that accompany gentrification and soaring real estate prices, but that's a post for another day.
