Nashville -- The City
by Ewingjr98
Nashville, with a population of about 600,000 people, is the capital of Tennessee. The town, originally a fort, was established in 1779 and was incorporated as a city in 1806. In the Civil War, Tennessee was in the South, but Nashville quickly became the first state capital to fall to the North.
Downtown's main entertainment area is called the District, and it lies at lower Broadway and 2nd Avenue. North of Broadway id the city's largest concentration of government buildings including the state capitol. Nashville's AT&T building is just 33 stories high, but is the tallest building in the state.
Since the 1960s, Nashville's music industry, with a $6 billion annual impact, is the second largest in the country behind New York.
The best bluegrass in town
by travelmad478 about The Station Inn
You've got to drive to the Station, which is not in the greatest neighborhood, but it's definitely worth getting in the car for. The club is open seven nights a week and offers some of the best bluegrass you'll find anywhere. Cover charges are usually under $10, the beer comes in plastic cups, and there are plenty of seats for everyone. This is a great, comfortable, home-grown place.

HARD ROCK CAFE This was the first Hard Rock Cafe that I had been to and it was all I expected. I remember the food was pretty good and reasonably priced. Fortunately, we didn't wait too long to be seated and served.
Music City Hard Rock Cafe
by TravellerMel about Hard Rock Cafe
The Nashville Hard Rock Cafe is located in the site of Nashville's first brothel - a cool history in and of itself. The separate Rock Shop merchandise store on the corner still has the remnants of the original floor of the Silver Dollar Saloon. Always seems to be something going on here - live music from local and up-and-coming artists too. Can't go wrong with the Classic Burger. I also love the nachos - enough for two!
