Where To Stay, Walk, Eat And Drink With Your Dog In Nashville
Nashville is the capital of Tennessee and the home of country music, a fast growing city on a bend of the Cumberland River. Downtown's Broadway rings with honky tonks from midday on, while East Nashville, Germantown and 12 South are the neighbourhoods of coffee shops, breweries and patios where the locals actually live. Greenways follow the river and its creeks through much of the city, and the parks are generous. It is a friendly, easy city, and a dog is welcome on most of its patios.
