- Dan McGuinness Irish Pub – Makes you feel like you’re in Ireland at an authentic pub
- DaVinci’s Pizza – Some of the best pizza in Nashville (besides my own, of course)

- Loveless Cafe – keep your eyes open for someone famous
- Maniac’s – small menu, yummy chicken. i especially dig the south Texas rolls!
- Merridee’s Breadbasket – a cozy place to hang out for weekend breakfast.
- Pancake Pantry – of course the pancakes are fabulous but so is everything else I’ve ever eaten there – esp. the hashbrowns! Be on the lookout for famous people here (though I have yet to recognize anyone).
- Saffire – I love the decor and the cool vibe!
- Stroud’s – the best BBQ nachos ever!

- Wolfgang Puck Express – a little pricey, but still good.
