It's a full size replica of the Parthenon in Athens but ours is better because it's not broken! It's has an art museum below and amazing replicas of Greek sculpture including a statue of Athena that is so tall she has the messenger Nike in her hand and he is 7 feet tall!

Drinks & Nightlife
World-class food, music, and shopping. If you want honkytonks go to Broadway. If you want sophisticated entertainment, go to the Gulch. Either way, they're both super walkable.

This is where you can find the honky-tonks, bars, shopping, tourist dives, and most of what Nashville is famous for. There are literally blocks and blocks of bars and music venues. Most feature country music but there are also pop, rock, and even jazz clubs here. The scene is hopping with throngs of happy tourists (and lots of bachelorettes!) walking around, taking it all in, singing, and sometimes getting rowdy. Don't bother driving in this area -- the sidewalks are super-wide and the crosswalks support all-directions crossing to make it easier on the packed crowds of pedestrians. Parking is scarce and can be expensive. Best to use Lyft or public transportation or park farther out.

Another area with incredible food and shopping
Biscuits, southern food, and ambiance. Lots of quaint little shops surround this iconic southern food mecca. It's worth the long-ish drive there and the wait once you get there. Plus, the wait gives you time to check out the cool little shops. I particularly recommend it for a weekend brunch but just keep in mind wait time will be quite a bit then.

Amazing Southern food done family style. When you get there, you wait until there's a large enough group for you to all be seated together at a large table. Yes, you will sit with strangers unless you come in a large group. Then the food starts coming out in large serving bowls and gets passed around the table so each guest can take what they want. It is a great dining experience with unforgettable food. Not for germaphobes or people with social anxiety.
