Bright & (Not So) Early: Ars Gratia Artis Edition
Good morning, Nashville, and happy almost Turkey Day! This morning, we’re giving thanks for our city’s public art, which Councilman Charlie Tygard has declared that he would like to spread around to the rest of Nashville by filing an ordinance with the Metro Council. This sentiment isn’t sitting well with members of the Metro Arts [...]
How Now, The Wild Cow? Veggie Eats Return To East [Nashville Newcomers]
Looks like Rosepepper and Eastland Cafe have some new neighbors… Again. The Walden building across the street from these neighborhood staples has already welcomed three new friends in the past year, and they’re about to get a fourth.

October Fools: East Nashville Not Really Getting Tunnel To Downtown
Bongo Java has a message for you East Nashvillians who really thought that a rooftop bowling alley, mini-movie theatre and an UNDERGROUND TUNNEL were moving in next door to their 11th Street location: J/K, guyz!
Turns out that Nashville is a little more gullible than they thought, and Bongo had to take the fun out of [...]
Duck, Duck, Who? The Silly Goose Lands On Eastland [Nashville Newcomers]
We’re pretty jealous of East Nashville these days, as we watch creative new dining options pop up everywhere we turn our eyes. Moving into the recently vacated Fresh Blends building on Eastland Ave is yet another one of said creative new dining options: The Silly Goose.
From the name, it’s not immediately obvious that The Silly [...]
Bright & Early: Life Is Full Of Second Chances Edition
Good morning, Nashville. A new program that would allow long-overdue Davidson County drivers to pay only half of their parking tickets is coming up for discussion in tonight’s council meeting. We mentioned this bill a few months ago, but its sponsor Councilman Eric Crafton has finally worked out a few of the kinks with help [...]
Bright & Early: On The Agenda Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The Metro Council meeting got a little heated last night as several controversial issues came to a vote. After an emotional debate, the non-discrimination ordinance passed it’s second reading. The council was split evenly down the middle on the issue of guns in parks, forcing Vice Mayor Diane Neighbors to cast the [...]
This Weekend: You Say Tomato, We Say Party
This weekend is Tomato Art Fest Weekend in East Nashville, one of our very favorite annual events (despite one Nashvillest editor’s brutal loss in the 2008 Hot Tomato contest). For a single day, everything in East Nashville turns to tomatoes. Walk into the Pied Piper Creamery, and you’ll find them dishing up tomato ice cream. [...]
Caffeinated Birthdays: Have Your Cake And Coffee Too
“And many more” indeed. Two of our favorite new coffee shops are celebrating their first birthdays this week. We can hardly believe that it’s been a year since DrinkHaus’ mango blood orange gelato passed our lips for the first time, and since we parked our butts at Ugly Mugs on what was the first of [...]
