Hole in the wall French Bistro! perfect for a date night! Wonderful food & drinks, great atmosphere, fun servers, and is right there in East Nashville. FYI - they do not accept reservations, and they fill up for the night quickly. Either go early on the weekends or visit during the week for a better chance of getting a table. Also, bring your wallet. 😃 (Not a "cheap" place)

The Starbucks on Gallatin is insanity. Only order off mobile app if you value your time. In the morning sometimes I order 15-20 minutes before pick up. It’s crazy. The local places are better but I know we all need our fix sometimes!
