One of my very best friends Amanda is in town to visit and we've spent our days catching up, honky tonkin' at Robert's, going to Bluebird Cafe, watching Shameless, eating incredible meals, and of course getting her some cowboy boots. It's amazing what quality time with an old friend can do to lift spirits and keep you focused on what's important. After hours at the Country Music Hall of Fame looking at Patsy Cline memorabilia, Elvis' gold car and piano and too many framed platinum records to count, I found a new favorite place here and started to feel a little bit more at home.
Amanda has said more than once that one of her hobby's is going to restaurants. To say she loves food is an understatement, so from the airport (after a quick pit stop at my place) we went to Mas Tacos for a meal so good we went back again later in the week. I knew City House had to be on the list for their belly ham pizza and top notch cocktails and they didn't disappoint. The Catbird Restaurant (look out for an entire post on this meal....) had to be our highlight though, with its 10 courses, savory & sweet oreos that bookend the meal, and impeccable service.
This city is booming with food so delicious and sights so fun you don't want to leave. I'm so happy Amanda has gotten to experience the best Nashville has to offer at the moment and I'm counting down (and making reservations) for her next visit in June :)
