Nashville Day Trip - Part 2

This was my second weekend in the rural area for work, and since I was already here, I decided to explore the city again. Conclusion: Not as fun as the last time (see previous post 😅). Today’s (Half-Day) Itinerary: State Capitol Frist Art Museum Hattie B’s Hot Chicken The Gulch & 12th Avenue South Burger Republic 1. Tennessee State Capitol 🏛️ I read online that you could go inside with hourly tours, but it was closed when I arrived. Just walked around outside and left. 2. Frist Art Museum 🎨 $10 admission. Unless you’re really into art or the current exhibit, skip it! Not worth it for casual visitors. 3. Hattie B’s Hot Chicken 🍗 This place is super popular online. I went to the Broadway location — waited almost 50 minutes. Ordered: Grilled sandwich (meh 😐) 1/4 leg (juicy and flavorful but a bit salty 🧂) Verdict: Not mind-blowing. If you go, just get the chicken legs and avoid peak hours! 4. The Gulch & 12th Avenue South 🎨📸 The “iconic wings mural” is just a painted wall… and there was a long line (mostly groups of girls — I was the only guy there 😂). Not as impressive as I expected. 5. Burger Republic 🍔 Decided to end the day with a classic American burger. This place was solid! Beef patty was high quality Bun was toasted perfectly Live music added great vibes 🎶 Also tried a banana milkshake — creamy and delicious 🍌🥤 Final Thoughts: I’ve spent three weekends in Nashville now (was here last month too 😂). My recommendation: Day 1: Outlet shopping 🛍️ Day 2: Downtown museums + Broadway bars 🍻 That’s enough to experience the city! Alright, time to hit the gym after all that eating 💪😤 #Nashville #TravelUSA #FoodReview #SoloTravel #WeekendTrip #HotChicken #BurgerLover #ArtMuseum #CityGuides 🏙️🍔🎸
