"I love P.F. Chang's China Bistro, a big, loud, always busy
restaurant, for Asian
food. I like The Palm for steaks. For
authentic Cajun, there's Nooley's in Franklin. The owners of
Nooley's are from
Louisiana, so they know what they're doing. After
a big dinner of gumbo, jambalaya, or one of their great muffuletta
sandwiches, you can walk it off by taking a stroll through historic
downtown Franklin."
NIGHTLIFE
"It depends what's going on in town. Tim and I would catch a movie
or see a concert at the Gaylord Entertainment Center or the Ryman
or check out the entertainment at one of
Nashville's clubs like
12th and Porter downtown. 12th and Porter is a restaurant and club,
where some of Nashville's best musicians perform."
SUNDAY
BREAKFAST
"I would go to the Loveless Cafe for breakfast. You can either have
breakfast in the main restaurant or the buffet in one of the
converted rooms. The biscuits, homemade preserves, country ham, and
red-eye gravy are world famous, and
Martha Stewart once said it was
the best breakfast she'd ever had. The cafe dates back to the 1950s
and looks pretty much the same as it did back then."
EXCURSION
"After breakfast at the Loveless, hop onto the
Natchez Trace for a
day of wandering. The Trace runs 444 miles, from Nashville,
Tennessee to Natchez,
Mississippi. It's the trail once used by
Indians, fur traders, and adventurers like
Daniel Boone. You can
pack a picnic lunch and explore some of the towns located off of
the Trace. The speed limit is only 50, so it makes for a leisurely
drive."
