Things to Do
Broadway
Let's be real... If it's your first time in Nashville and have a "can do" attitude, you can always go downtown to Broadway! Chris and I prefer a "Day Broadway" situation and all of the rooftops as opposed to being there in the evening, but to each their own! Buckle up for lots of people watching, live music everywhere, and a good time for sure!
Franklin Downtown Historic District
If you are looking for a little bit of a slower pace, boutique shopping, different restaurants, coffee shops, a little more central to Brentwood and Cool Springs... Go to Franklin! At this time of year, Franklin is completely a "Hallmark" town. It's absolutely beautiful and full of History as well. There are tours as well and you can even stop by O Be Joyful where Savannah has bartended for the past 4 years for the best Burger in Franklin and a well-made old fashioned!
Arrington Vineyards
Arrington Vineyards is a beautiful drive about 20-25 minutes from Brentwood or Franklin. You can bring a picnic or purchase snacks there, purchase a bottle of wine, and enjoy the beautiful hillside and stunning views! ESPECIALLY in October... going to be lovely.
The Factory at Franklin
If you are on your way into Downtown Franklin, you will pass the Factory! This is an amazing location for tons of different kinds of restaurants with a central bar in the middle! Chris' favorite restaurant in the Factory is Mojo's Tacos. You will also find everything from an amazing brunch spot called "Etch", great BBQ called "Edley's", Jeni's Ice cream, Ramen, etc.... There are also boutique shops for shopping!
J. Alexander's Restaurant
J. Alexander's is located right in the middle of the Cool Springs area and just off the I-65 Freeway. The food and service are ALWAYS consistent. Seriously, their food is incredible and martinis on point. You can go here for an incredible sandwich and fries or have a really nice meal. A Peters Family Fave for years and years.
PUFFY MUFFIN
229 Franklin Rd
Brentwood, TN 37027
Located in Downtown Brentwood and a great Brunch/Lunch spot! My Brother-in-Law's grandparents opened Puffy Muffin many years ago! Also, has an AMAZING Bakery.
FULL transparency, no mimosas - haha!
THE HENRY
Located in 12 South in Nashville
2803 12th Avenue South, Suite 105, Nashville, TN 37204
This is a higher end brunch, but De-LISH. If you are looking to get into Nashville a little bit for a good Brunch, Lunch, or nice Dinner and a beauty of a Restaurant, The Henry is great!
RUBY SUNSHINE
Located Downtown Franklin
231 Public Square, Franklin, TN 37064
If you are wanting to start your day Downtown Franklin, this is a more low-key Brunch spot and a little more central.
Above are two Liquor stores for your convenience. as well!
Cool Springs Wine and Spirits
1935 Mallory Ln Franklin, TN 37067
Total Wine
330 Franklin Rd, Brentwood, TN 37027
Cool Spring Nail Lounge
I wanted to include a highly recommended Nail Salon! My family and I have been here many many times. They do take walk ins, but if you think you will just get your nails done here, would encourage you to call and make an appointment. They give you a beverage with your Service as well :)
CoolSprings Galleria
We wanted to include our local mall for those last - minute shopping needs! Located in the heart of Cool Springs which borders Brentwood and Franklin. Cool Springs has many local restaurants as well.
