BRUNCH
The Farm House
Rustic interior and friendly staff set the tone for this amazing breakfast spot. During my last visit, I had the pork belly pop tart and doughnut board.
Crema
This bright and airy spot is a perfect place to start the day with a tasty cup of coffee and avocado toast.
Pinewood Social
Great place to meet friends for some chicken and biscuits and coffee. Planning to stay a while? They’ve got a bowling alley in the back and bocce ball outside.

Their Brûléed Latte is incredible. Pair that with their egg sandwich and you’re ready to start the day.
The Post
Great brunch spot. Their waffles are amazing and the chai latte with almond milk is perfect.
LUNCH
Otaku Ramen pictured:
This amazing place started as a pop-up shop and serves up some amazing ramen. Inside you’ll find the simple and clean Japanese influence. Try the duck buns. They are incredible. All of their ramen dishes are delicious.
Burger Up
One of my favorite burger spots. My favorite go-to is the lamb burger with truffle fries.
Edley’s
Brisket nachos! I always get this as a meal. Everything else is spot on as well.
Nashville Street Tacos
I’m no taco connoisseur, but I feel like these guys do tacos right.
DINNER
Butcher and Bee
Feeling adventurous? This place takes familiar dishes into one that excites the taste buds.

Don’t deceived by the simple ingredients listed for their hamburger. Best burger in town.
The Pharmacy
A burger place. Yes, I just mentioned that Butchertown has the best burger, but The Pharmacy also has the best burger. My go-to for this place is the Farm Burger with a side of tots and curry ketchup (It’s not gross, I promise).
The Flipside
Tots! Yes, their thing is all about chicken, but seriously… get the tots. Their loaded up with cheese and jalapeños and all sorts of other healthy things.
SHOPS
Imogene and Willie
Built in an old gas station, a gorgeous denim shop is a perfect place to get fitted for some custom jeans or just hang out and shoot the breeze with the friendly staff.
Whites Mercantile
With locations in 12 South and Downtown Franklin, this great little general store has a wide range of items to make you and your home look awesome.

Italian through and through, the craftsmanship that go into his boots is perfection. The people there are warm and friendly and you can get a cappuccino as you shop!
Shoppes on Fatherland
Located in East Nashville on Fatherland between 10th and 11th streets near 5-Points, you’ll find small boutiques and great restaurants.
