Nashville

Is Nashville y'all!! Road trip city #3, country music, bbq ribs and real cowboys!

From Kentucky to Tennessee...

After leaving Cincinnati, feeling on a sugar rush we stop by Hodgenville, Kentucky. This is the birthday place of Lincoln. It is a very small but has that a great charm, if you are fan of Lincoln, you should stop by and get a feel of his up bringing. 

The great thing about traveling by car is that you can see the change of scenery, warmer weather, different trees.  

Why I wanted to go to Nashville...

 First of all I love American southern accents, is so musical and mellow that I could hear it all day; also because of the tv show, lame as it sounds, it is true. If you haven't watch it, check it out is all about country music and lots of drama.
Nashville is known for being a music destination, specially country music, where lots of famous people have started or have passed by. It is a city that I would visit again and spend a couple of more days there.

I will give you 3 reasons very good reasons to visit Nashville:

• Great music destination: alive music every where, great ambience and lots of fun at Broadway Street in Down town. Soft and up beat country, blues, oldies, main stream, karaoke... 
• Grill & Bbq heaven: ribs, wings, onion rings, list can go on... your belly will be satisfy!
• Beautiful city: great buildings, beautiful music venues and equally gorgeous people (real cowboys)... 
• BONUS REASON: is on the way to the Jack Daniel's distillery!!! 

Broadway Street is the place to be at day time or night time, there is lots of cool bars with alive music. I loved the tin roof, the music was a mix of main stream, oldies with country bits. Everyone dancing, cheering, singing. During the day you can walk around see lots of shopping stores for souvenirs, cowboy boots, hats...

It is all about the grill & bbq...

Bbq ribs, in this area are served with no sauce, the mesquite spices gives an extra spicy and smoky flavour.  Even the pull pork sandwich is not covered with extra sauce. All the bbq sauces had a nice heat, some of them were more sweet or more smokey. 

Jack Daniel's distillery 

Driving about 40 minutes away from Nashville is the Jack Daniel's distillery,  on this day we had one of the most amazing days, the weather was so sunny and warm. The whole road was full of beautiful trees with white flowers that looked like cotton balls. The green hills with happy cows looked like from a picture, you are entertain for miles. 

It is worth to spend at least half a day in the area. Have some amazing bbq ribs or a pull pork sandwich with lots of bbq sauce at the Barrel House.
