It can be hard to keep up with the city’s changing culinary landscape, but the variety of new restaurants certainly makes it easier to avoid the influx of tourists which seems to grow exponentially with each Broadway visit. And while it is probably safe to say most Nashville residents are glad to circumvent the groups of pedal taverns and bachelorette parties sprinkled around the city’s busiest areas, these are the tourist hot spots that are worth braving the crowds for (or maybe just saving for Monday when the masses have mostly exited).
