1. Visit the Country Music Hall of Fame

2. Shop at the farmer's market

3. Go to the Las Paletas store and have a popsicle

4. See a show at Bluebird Cafe

5. Try the food truck Rollin' and Smokin'

6. See a show at Exit/In

7. Eat Jeni's Ice Cream

8. Have a picnic in Centennial Park

9. Walk the pedestrian bridge and take touristy pictures of the Nashville skyline

10. Watch the sunset at Love Hill

11. Have a milkshake at Elliston Place Soda Shop

12. Go to a Predators game

13. Go to a Titans game

14. See a movie at the Belcourt Theater
