6 Fun Social Distancing Activities in Nashville

Nashville moved into Phase 1 of its reopening plan on Monday, May 11 and with segments of life beginning a shift toward the new normal, we have a few more options for entertaining ourselves while maintaining social distancing. In this initial phase, retail shops and restaurants can open at 50% capacity, while all entertainment venues remain shuttered in an effort to curb close social contact. Not everyone will feel comfortable going into enclosed spaces away from home, so here are six creative ways to get out of the house and have a little fun, while still maintaining social distancing in Nashville.

Walk Eat Nashville guides Today Show hosts around East Nashville

The 3rd Hour of the Today Show broadcast live from Nashville, and Walk Eat Nashville Founder & CEO Karen-Lee Ryan had the opportunity to guide NBC’s 3rd Hour Hosts Sheinelle Jones and Dylan Dreyer around East Nashville.

“It was such a pleasure to introduce Sheinelle and Dylan to East Nashville,” Ryan said. “I started my walking food tour company in East Nashville five years ago, and I love introducing folks to this historic neighborhood packed with small business and chef-driven restaurants. It was wonderful that 3rd Hour focused on so many small businesses around Nashville, and it was an honor to be part of it.”

Walk Eat Nashville Launches Saturday tours in Midtown

Walk Eat Nashville is expanding, taking its popular walking food tours into a second neighborhood--Midtown.

The new Midtown tours follow the same format as the existing Historic East Nashville tours: six tasting stops over three hours paired with a 1.5-mile leisurely walk. During the tour, guests interact with chefs and sample some of the flavors turning Nashville into the new culinary capital of the South.

“Nashville’s culinary roots took hold in Midtown a generation ago,” said Karen-Lee Ryan, Walk Eat Nashville Founder & Owner. “It’s still home to long-standing destinations and impressive newcomers. Midtown is filled with great food--and lots of interesting stories.”
