For one reason or another, I find myself in Nashville at least three times a year. I use each trip as an excuse to eat as much food as possible, hit a few shops, and maybe pop into a gallery or two.
If you’re following me on Instagram then you know I took a short trip to Nashville a couple of weeks ago. The day and a half we were there didn’t leave much time for exploring, but I got to check out a bit of the Germantown area and wanted to share in case you find yourself in the area!

1. Get Your Caffeine Fix At Barista Parlor – Barista Parlor brings the coffee, the chill vibe, and the inspo to do it for the ‘gram. I got the bourbon vanilla latte the first time we stopped in and an espresso the second time. The latte was out of this world good and the espresso hit me with enough caffeine to bike around the neighborhood! More on that later.

2. Buy All The Things At Abednego – Meredith, the shop owner, is absolutely awesome! She chatted us up about how she selects pieces for the store, suggested other places for us to check out, and showed us around her amazing store. Definitely stop in here for eclectic jewelry, badass shoes, and dresses that will take you from day to night.
3. Eat Your Weight In Vietnamese Food At Vui’s Kitchen – Have you ever visited a place where everything looked and smelled so you good that you just couldn’t choose? If not, you clearly haven’t been to Vui’s. I ended up ordering the lemongrass tofu bao buns, vegetarian bhan mi, and vegan pho. Everything was so good! I’m still in foodie bliss.
4. Grab A Bike From B-Cycle – How cute are these bikes? I couldn’t resist stopping at the B-cyle station and renting one. A 24-hour rental was only five dollars. They definitely came in handy once we got in a time crunch and wanted to see as much as possible before hitting the road back to Memphis.
5. Experience Alexis + Bolt – A + B is in a renovated house and makes you feel like you’ve stepped into something wonderful from the moment you enter. Each room has it’s own vibe and is packed with amazing clothing, accessories, and paper goods. They even have their open kitchen styled into the concept with products available for purchase.

I’m so impressed that you got all of this in in such a short amount of time! I really wanna visit Nashville soon!!!!
Thanks Lori! I really like to pack my days when I’m out of town. It’s kind of a problem. 😂
I’ve been to Nashville while on my way to Smoky Mountains but we just stayed for the night. I think I need to go back again. Can’t get over that mural wall!
Cheers!

I’ve been to Nashville several times, but I’ve never explored this area! This looks like it would be something that is right up my alley!! Thanks for sharing! I love Nashville!
It was my first time in the area too and I can’t wait to get back! Thanks for reading <3
I’ve never been to Nashville but just the thought of it can overwhelm me sometimes – so much to see & do! I love this list you came up with, these are definitely a few things that I’d love to check out if I ever make the trip!
Yay, thanks for reading! I hope you get to make the trip and check out a few different areas. There’s so much going on that I’m sure you’ll find some fun things to do and see <3
I LOVE Nashville and I love that first wall! This is such a fun post.
Thanks Helen! I had so much fun hanging out in the area 🙂
I haven’t been to Nashville, but it looks like it has a lot of interesting places beyond the expected tourist stops. That mural is pretty hilarious!
There’s SO much going in Nashville! It’s definitely fun to go a couple of times a year to see how much it’s growing 🙂
I want to visit Nashville again so bad! I’ve only been once and we were really just passing through as we moved cross country. So we didn’t have time to do a whole lot. I’m hoping we can take a trip this summer and really take the time to explore 🙂
I hope you get some time to explore too! Let me know what spots you check out 🙂
We had so much fun in Nashville, but we didn’t see that awesome mural! We’ll have to visit again sometime… Next time in the summer <3
