Repeat after me: almond croissant, almond croissant, almond croissant. Honestly, while you’re at it you should probably go ahead and go here first so you can grab a fresh baguette or loaf of bread for your stay in Nashville! This is our weekly fav to grab a pastry, coffee, and bread for the week. There is usually always a table to sit at despite its smaller size and would be a great spot to catch a few hours of work.

This hidden gem under the Jonny Cash museum is part speakeasy, part magic show and SO much fun. There is a dress code so so check online for that but if you’re looking for a unique outing one night, this is it!
Pro tip: just do drinks, not dinner reservations! Grabbing a drink at the bar will allow you to walk around the dining space where there are always three small shows with magicians going on. These can each seat 4-8 people and can be interactive but In fun way ha! This part is better than the main show you get with dinner if you ask us!
