Hands down the best honky-tonk downtown (and why not go to a honky-tonk when you're in Nashville?). It will be packed on the weekend, but on weeknights, order a cheeseburger and grilled cheese and you'll be in heaven. Fantastic music all day and all night 365 days a year. Skip Tootsie's and the more touristy ones.

Our other favorite honky-tonk next to Robert's. The owner, Layla, is usually there holding court at the upstairs bar. When we go there, Trent usually sits in with the band. Mention that you're staying at Trent Summar's place and you might get a free drink (and have the time of your life).

Sightseeing
Our "Central Park". Has concerts and festivals most weekends in the spring, summer and fall including http://musicianscornernashville.com/. We love to walk there across Vanderbilt's campus (which is a beautiful arboretum in and of itself) so it's like going through one park to get to another! About a 40 min walk, but really enjoyable. Plus you can see our replica of the Parthenon! It's quite a sight to behold.

Huge park near Germantown and connected to the Farmer's Market. Take the free Music City Circuit from the Gulch (or walk 2 miles) to enjoy the park including the history of Tennessee, shop at the farmer's market to buy local vegetables, cheeses, eggs, bread, and more (also lots of great restaurants in here) and stay to explore Germantown (lots more great restaurants in a charming 200 year old neighborhood including the oldest brownstone still standing in Nashville).

Parks & Nature
Beautiful water park on the east bank of the river just across the Pedestrian Bridge. Bring your kids to jump around in the water or just go to watch. Romantic spot in the evenings. A fun secret is that if there's a concert at Ascend Ampitheatre (just across the river) that night, you can hear the band from Cumberland Park or the pedestrian bridge, too, without buying tickets.
