Curator’s statement
Nashville is the Bachelorette destination, and it's easy to see why; amazing food scene, live music everywhere you look and, of course, the ability to go full cowgirl without judgement. You can have it all in Nashville: classy brunch in the day and rockin' out on Broadway at night. There's something for everyone in Music City.

Day 1: Arrive in Music City
Welcome to Nashville aka Music City, Nash-vegas, and your Bachelorette destination. Check-in to your hotel and hang by the pool, while you wait for your guests to arrive.
Once everyone is checked in and ready to go, start your night at L.A. Jackson rooftop bar, located in the Thompson Hotel, for dinner and drinks and the best view in Nashville.
After dinner, head to Broadway for a bit to check out some of the classic honky tonks like Tootsies and The Stage.
Day 2: Custom hats & The Honky Tonk Express
Start your first full day in Nashville with a trip to Biscuit Love for a classic southern breakfast. Get the East Nasty and thank me later. There are a few locations around the city but if you want to be centrally located and close to your next stop I'd go to the one in The Gulch — and get there early.
No trip to Nashville is complete without a cowboy hat purchase. After breakfast, head over to Rustler Hat Co. where you can customize your dream hat. They do take walk-ins but to get the full experience, reserve a hat bar for your group so you can all toast with some champs while designing your hats.
You've got your hat, now it's time to show it off! Hop on the Honky Tonk Express ,
an open air bus that will take your group all around all around Nashville and down Broadway. It's a boot-scootin' good time, the perfect kick-off for the rest of your night.
Now, a quick pit stop at Assembly Food Hall, featuring all local Nashville restaurants. This is the perfect place to refuel before heading back down to Broadway to check out some more Honky Tonk's like Garth Brooks' Friends in Low Places, or Miranda Lambert's Casa Rosa.
Day 3: Explore the nightlife on Printer's Alley
Rise and shine, it's brunch time. Start your day at Hampton Social known for their Instagrammable aesthetic and large batch cocktails, perfect for the group.
If you want to get some culture in, head over to the Country Music Hall of Fame where exhibits include Elvis' car and Taylor Swift's tour outfits. If you feel like relaxing, head back to the hotel pool for some drinks and relaxation before your last night out.
We're taking a break from Broadway tonight and checking out Printer's Alley. First stop is Skull's Rainbow Room. This speakeasy-style restaurant has creative cocktails and yummy New American fare. They also have live jazz every night of the week and a burlesque show starting at 9 pm on the weekends.
After the show head over to Miss Kelly's for some karaoke and Jell-O shots or across the way to Bourbon Street Blues for $5 Miller Lites and live music. You really can't go wrong on Printer's Alley.
Day 4: Brunch and shopping in 12 South
It's our last day in Nashville and it's time to get wholesome. After you check out of your hotel, make your way to 12 South and grab brunch at one of the many spots in the neighborhood. Some personal favorites are Frothy Monkey or Buttermilk Ranch.
Once brunch is done, walk around this cute neighborhood and check out all the shops. You can stop into Reese Witherspoon's flagship Draper James store or, if there are any Bravo fans in your group, make sure you check out the Nashville outpost of Sewing Down South from Southern Charm's Craig Conovor — you may spot him there, too.
Departure: Grab your boots and your hat, we hope you had a boot-scootin’ good time here in Music City and hope y’all come back soon!
