Venture off Broadway and into a fun and artsy neighborhood that makes Nashville so special!

East Nashville put Music City on the culinary map, and it continues to wow with an ever-expanding food-and-drink scene two miles across the river from downtown Nashville. 

Chef-owned restaurants and casual eateries. Local coffee shops and breweries. Specialty food shops launched by creative entrepreneurs. They all add up to a vibrant neighborhood recently named one of the coolest in America.

Explore East Nashville with us to experience what makes it such a special community—and a magnet for musicians.

With five tasting stops over three-ish hours, you’ll have a chance to try a variety of local foods, including several voted “Best of Nashville.” Tastings vary with seasonal ingredients and always include a delicious mix of four savory tasting stops plus dessert. At some locations, you’ll also receive personal attention from chefs, owners, and managers creating our dynamic food culture. 

Between bites, you’ll stroll past Victorian homes and bungalows preserved amid tornadoes and tear downs. You’ll learn about a music studio where Johnny Cash, Neil Young and Aretha Franklin made records. Our engaging guide will share stories that even locals don’t know.

By the end of the tour, you’ll understand the appeal of East Nashville. We look forward to hosting you, whether you’re a first-time visitor looking for an authentic Nashville experience or a local who wants to feel more connected to our rapidly evolving city.
