Brunching, barhopping and boot scootin’ in Music City

Known as “Music City,” Nashville offers vibrant nightlife, fascinating museums, chef-driven dining, and nonstop live shows that make for an unforgettable getaway. Done right, every minute in Nashville hits a perfect note of music, Southern cuisine, and charm. To read my adventure in the May 16. 2025 edition of the Katy Trail Weekly, click HERE.
