Great patio for hanging with friends. Tacos are made with home made tortillas and each are yummy. You cannot go wrong with their burger either - delicious and dangerously close to our house ;)

Known for their amazing tacos and sides.... you will be happy with literally any dish on their menu. Small patio fills up quickly but it is a good place to grab a quick bite to eat.

1305 Dickerson PikeThe pictures don’t do this place justice. It’s recently renovated with black and white decor. Super cute. Great place to people watch. The arugula salad w/ salmon was good. Spinach artichoke dip was my favorite. Husband liked his burger and fries too.

Want a beer? Milkshake ? Grill cheese with hot soup ? This is the place!! It has a variety of other food choices too and it’s a great place for hanging out. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Dogs allowed on the patio! There are several other vendors joining the venue in the near future. One of our favorite spots!

This was our FAVORITE breakfast spot when we lived in Denver and thankfully they just opened one in Nashville right down the street. Everything on the menu is good, especially the cocktails! Seriously. Delicious! Great location too and plenty of bars within walking distance if you want to bounce around after.

Sightseeing
Includes The Shoppes on Fatherland, a nearly hidden cluster of hip stores. Sift through The Trunk's collection of women's and men's apparel that's expertly curated by celebrity stylist Abby Franklin. Rusty Rats Antiques & Vintage is more than a filled-to-the-gills antique shop: Co-owners Jim Gray and Charlie Accavallo (who works in Nashville's prop department) also make custom furniture and industrial lighting. Nightlife in Five Points is often associated with a string of rowdy bars along 11th Street: There's 3 Crow, The Red Door Saloon, Drifters, and Beyond the Edge. But we keep finding ourselves back at The Lipstick Lounge, a no-frills karaoke bar. (Then again, have you ever been to a karaoke bar with frills?) Hang back and watch your friends duet to 'Islands in the Stream” or gather some liquid courage and channel your inner Beyoncé or Bowie. The resulting shenanigans are perfect fodder for the quick stroll to your final stop on this tour: the walk-up slice window at Five Points Pizza. Cheesy goodness in hand, it's time to call it a nightand your trusty Lyft driver.

If you’re headed downtown, definitely plan to swing by Fifth and Broadway - a new conglomerate of amazing food + drink, shops, and live music (check schedule). It is close to Broadway and can get busy at times, but the food is great and it’s a great place to chill before heading to your next stop. There is paid parking available in the garage - located next door. You can also take an Uber from our carriage house (2.7 miles - 10 min depending on traffic)
