Every visitor should sample a Nashville meat 'n' three meal -- Arnold's is the best. Serves only lunch. Monday is Fried Chicken day, Friday's for fried fish or shrimp. Don't worry about the line out the door, it moves quickly and tables turn fast as well.

A Nashville institution, since 1945, Rotier's has served generations. There are always dinner-style specials; one of the few places with fried chicken gizzards on the menu, but order the cheeseburger on French Bread and the "off-the-menu" chocolate milkshake.

Chef Hal Holden-Bache turns out great dinners, night after night, and his Lockeland Table is often overlooked in lists of the city's finest eateries. His wood-fired pizzas are legendary, and the tiny place is always packed with East Nashville hipsters, young families and Westsiders who know a good thing's worth the drive.

Go for lunch and shake hands with Randy Rayburn. He is one of the handful of individuals who set the tone, blazed the trail and created the current Nashville restaurant "scene." Look around and you'll see business bigwigs, society matrons, Music Row execs (and maybe a star or two). The Lemon Artichoke soup, Midtown Caesar and Midtown Meatloaf are classics as are the Sunset Caesar and Voodoo Pasta from Rayburn's now closed Sunset Grill.

The history of Belle Meade (beautiful meadow) Plantation goes back to 1806 when John Harding purchased 200 acres from Daniel Dunham. It grew to become one of the great thoroughbred breeding farms in the country. A great morning or afternoon tour of what was once a spectacular Southern plantation.

Arts & Culture

Even if you are not a big country fan, this is one of the must-visit attractions in Nashville. The Hall of Fame is a state-of-the-art museum tracing the "history and sounds" of country music. Set aside a morning or afternoon to visit. Don't forget to stop by Hatch Show Print, the historic letterpress print shop, located at the Hall of Fame and Museum.

The Frist Center for the Visual Arts is housed in the former downtown post office, an architectural jewel on its own. Constructed in 1933-34, the building displays both classicism and Art Deco styles and was officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. Today, it is the city's finest home for visual arts -- although it has no permanent collection. Every six to eight weeks, it rotates new exhibitions, bringing in art from around the world. Great for kids, too.

"The Mother Church of Country Music" and the "Birthplace of Bluegrass" is the ultimate Nashville concert venue. Once the home of the "Grand Ole Opry," this restored tabernacle now hosts concerts of all genres on a regular basis. A daytime tour of the Ryman is a great way to see this historic venue.
