Potential trip to Nashville

So me and the SO are looking at a potential weekend getaway to Nashville (would drive down on a Friday and back on a Sunday) in the next couple months and are looking for some ideas on places to stay, eateries, and things to do.
I know that we definitely plan on hitting up the Parthenon and the SO isn't a big country guy (and I've been to both the Ryman and the Grand Ole Opry).
Ideas?

Go to Husk. Sit anywhere you can. Eat everything they'll bring you.
The Corsair distillery and tasting room is in the Marathon Village building along with some other shops including Antique Archaeology.
The Trader Joes is pretty cool too I guess.
Personally, I think staying at Opryland is neat, but Aloft in West End near Vandy is cool too.

Take in a Preds game, even if you don't like hockey on tv. It's the absolute best sport to watch in person.
The Hermitage if you're into history. Broadway for live music. Riverfront Park is ok. I was always drunk everytime that I made it over there though...

This is something I posted for a LSU fan asking about the music city bowl. Hope it helps.

Also, suggestions for restaurants in Nashville?
Can't really speak on KOA other than the Opryland one is near shopping and restaurants. It's also around ten minutes from downtown. Nashville has a shite ton of good restaurants, so it really depends where you're at. BBQ- peg leg porker, Martins, Jacks( downtown) and Edleys
For Nashvilles famous hot chicken try Hattie Bs or Princes.
In midtown- Boundry is great. Rotiers for a great burger. South Street for some laid back seafood.
Downtown- Nice Restaurants= The Southern, Watermark and Etch
Broadway Brewhouse, Baileys and the Flying Saucer are great for brews and food.
Anywhere in the Gulch is great.
Loveless Cafe, a little west of town is one of the most famous restaurants in Nashville and May have the best biscuits in the country. Also, pancake pantry is very well known near Vandy.
I'm also a fan of Soulshine pizza in midtown for food and live music. Also try The Row in that area.
Also gotta mention....... Lockeland Table, Patterson House and Masons Southern Provisions.
Like I said, in Nashville there are no shortages of good restaurants to hit up.

Do you guys like to drink, history, nature, live music............?
Posted on 12/24/14 at 12:25 am to BigOrangeBri
Figure it'll be a bit chilly when we go for nature/outdoor stuff (probably going to be in February).
Live music is alright. History definitely (we're both into art and history). We're pretty casual drinkers, but I do like craft/local brews.

Ok. The Hermitage(Andrew Jackson's plantation),The Parthenon and The Frist(art museum) Also, the Country Music Hall of Fame is cool. I would definitely tour the Ryman if I were you. Take in a show there if you can.
Also, checkout the Civil War history, Battle of Nashville, Stones River Battlefield and Battle of Franklin(The Carter House). You may also wanna checkout the Travelers Rest Plantation.
Blackstone and Yazoo breweries are outstanding. Also, remember the Jack Daniels Distillery is a short drive. And the Corsair distillery in town is great.
The American Pickers store is located in the Marathon building downtown.
And I agree that you should go to a Preds game.
Four areas of interest for nightlife are Downtown, Midtown, the Gulch and East Nashville.
Any questions let me know
Oh yeah, checkout the Hutton, Renaissance, and Omni hotels, all are downtown.
The Opryland hotel is cool, just a little ways out of town.
Oh yeah, Union Station Hotel downtown is amazing. It's a beautiful historic building and next door to the flying saucer for great brews and food

Yes to this.

Google Image Pinewood Social. It looks like an interesting place.

This. I was already a big hockey fan, but I was surprised at how good the atmosphere was at a Preds game.

Eat breakfast at Noshville one morning.. There will be an hour wait at Pancake Pantry but Noshville is just as good without the long wait.. There are two locations in the city.

I like downstairs where you get the full effect of the "wall o glass". They love me there because I know most of the liquor folks in KY and some of the servers are hooked on it. Expect to drop 100 for lunch for 2 and they sell Ale 8 at 4 bucks a bottle - no slaw dogs yet - an act like it is a special soft drink. Kinda foo foo but a nice place for a romantic meal when the weather is nice.

I think staying at Opryland is neat
They have all kinds of food joints in the place and more in the mall nearby.

Aloft in West End near Vandy is cool too.
Near Vandy I like Maggiano's and the place is always busy for lunch or dinner. Most everything is good and no matter what you order plan on taking part of it home as the portions are good sized. Lunch for 2 will set you back between 75 - 125 with tip included.
While you are used to that 6% expect 9.5% for food and 15% for drinks in sales tax. Also several of the places recommended run suggested tips of 18% to 22% so you think the bill is small until you add it all up.
If you really want a weekend getaway and want to be pampered then the Lowe's near Vandy is the place and it is in a good location to go either direction if you are taking Nashville in.
If you want help on some other stuff drop me a note as I don't want that info on a public board.

Not a suggestion but Nashville is just an awesome place. It's without a doubt the best large city in the South.
