From chef-driven tasting menus to classic honky-tonks, options line Broadway, 2nd Ave, and SoBro. Boutique shopping clusters around hotels and mixed-use developments; larger retail is a quick drive to Green Hills or Gulch/Capitol View. Nightlife is unmatched, yet quiet side streets and upper floors keep home life serene.
