Description

The intersection of 16th and 17th Avenue has a sound you can almost hear from the sidewalk. For decades, Nashville's most celebrated songwriters have worked in these buildings, and the city's best neighborhood restaurants have been feeding them. This three-hour walking tour from Walk Eat Nashville threads through Music Row and Edgehill Village, pausing at five locally owned spots where the food is as deliberate as the music made nearby.

Enjoy five included restaurant tastings without paying extra at the door, even if you have vegetarian dietary restrictions that need advance planning.

Walk Eat Nashville caps groups at 12 guests, keeping the pace conversational and personal. Your guide connects each stop to the recording history surrounding it, from the studios where Elvis and Dolly cut records to the publishing houses that launched country careers. Between bites, you pass landmarks that don't appear in guidebooks, explained by someone who has spent years studying this neighborhood at street level.

Taste the food scene that feeds Nashville's creative class, without navigating Broadway's crowds, even if you only have one morning to spend on the city's food scene.

The route covers 1.5 miles of mostly flat, paved terrain, recommended for guests 12 and up. Vegetarian options are available at every tasting stop with advance notice. Alcoholic beverages and additional orders are on your own tab. Guide gratuity is not included in the $109 ticket price.

Walk away with five new restaurants on your list and a real sense of the neighborhood behind the music, even if this is your first time stepping off Broadway.

The tour departs Tuesdays at 11am from Owen Bradley Park on Music Row. Plan to arrive five to ten minutes early so the group can begin together on time.
