When in Nashville check out...  City House for dinner and dessert, Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge for views of the downtown skyline, Hatch Show Print for legendary letterpress-printed posters, Ugly Mugs for a great cup of coffee in a cozy East Nashville coffee shop, and Lane Motor Museum for quirky antique cars!
