Cumberland River
by OlenaKyiv
Cumberland River flows by through Nashville. It is 687 miles (1,106 km) long. It starts in eastern Kentucky on the Cumberland Plateau, flows through southeastern Kentucky before crossing into northern Tennessee, and then curves back up into western Kentucky before draining into the Ohio River at Smithland, Kentucky.
I had a luck to see a barge on the river. It is rare to see some type of commercial ship on the river of the United States.
Burbon Street Blues and Boogy...

Burbon Street Blues and Boogy Bar
Located in Printers Alley
Great place for good food, drinks, great music, and fun people. The staff makes you feel at home. Very nice place to spend a night out.
The picture is of people that I have never met before but everyone in the place was into having fun. ;-) As you are.
Real Smoked Bar-B-Que
by gkitzmil about Bar-B- Cutie
One of the best BBQ sauces in the WORLD! I make it a point to stop here every time I am in Nashville! This is the Real Deal!
Three locations around Nashville BBQ Pork -- smoked with low heat over real wood for hours giving this a true bar- b-que flavor and their wonderful sauces are delicious. Platter comes with your choice of sides from traditional greens or bar-b-cue beans to macaroni and cheese or a dozen others!
Smoked Turkey -- similar to the smoked pork but turkey instead. Same wonderful cooking, same choice of sides.
This is one place I go ahead and get "sweet tea"
Dining in A Unique Home-like Setting
by grishaV1 about DaVinci´s and Mambu´s
Most of us are used to going to a restaurant in a building specially modified or made to be a restaurant, but Nashville have a number of very popular ones which were simply houses of persons made into a place for the public chic crowds to come and eat and enjoy themselves. During the day, they look like nothing more than an early 20century home, for example, but at night they come alive with neon light. These for example, DA VINCI´S and MAMBU are on Hayes Street, just off West End Avenue, almost standing room only. Reservations are accepted, parking is difficult, because its a narrow street with cars parking all along the avenue, extremely limited. One can come earlier, but of course, later is more crowded interesting. Hope you are lucky to get in.
