I'm going at the beginning of September for a few days! Does anyone have suggestions of things to do/places to eat/stuff to look at?

I've been there before once when we were driving through and we didn't have much time to do a whole lot, so it'll basically be new.

Bumping for you Sam! I'd be interested to read about any recommendations because I'm planning to visit next Summer/Fall!

One of the things we did when we were there a few years ago is visit the Belle Meade plantation which is an old thorougbred farm. 

There's a nice zoo in Nashville.

I know we tried some BBQ there but I don't remember specificially where...

Since I'm an absolute weirdo, I like going to hole-in-the-wall places that are lesser known from the common attractions. I also make a list of each thing for each state ( best hotels, eateries, attractions, shopping, etc.) that can fit the budget. There's some things that take 2-3 days in Nashville, these are my top picks that are just 1 day so you can see more:

Attractions

- The Grand Ole Opry & The Country Music Hall of Fame (I love country music :P)

- The Johnny Cash Museum & Cafe (A cafe turned museum showing the iconic timeline of Johnny Cash's life)

- Cheekwood Estate & Gardens (Home to the inventors of Maxwell House Coffee and Tea)

- The Hermitage ( Home of President Andrew Jackson)

- Bicentennial Park's WWII Granite Globe (It's 18,000lbs, floats on water, and spins)

- The Partheon Art Museum (The exterior is a replica of Greek Arcitecture and inside is unique artwork)

- Tennessee Central Railway Museum ( I like trains :P)

For dining I would recommend looking through Yelp! or on the Nashville website to kinda see who accomodate best because some restaurants do not, as I've had to change eating itineraries quite a bit for that reason.

Hope this helps and have fun! :)

*following*

I'll be headed to Nashville in October for a concert to see none other than Josh Groban, of course! :p
My bestie and I will be driving and staying from a Thursday-Sunday and already have lodging figured out.
Yay relatives that live in the area! xD

Ohh, thanks for all the suggestions!

I think trig went to Nashville not that long ago too so you could always poke her on FB for some suggestions as well! :P
