◗ BERRY HILL Why go: This former Nashville suburb is now technically its own city, though locals still regard it as a neighbourhood. Located just to the south, it’s great for a day trip when visitors fancy a change of pace. There are dozens of recording studios, brightly coloured bungalows, cosy restaurants and non-touristy shops to explore. What to do: This is a magpie’s paradise. The Beaded Bungalow sells shiny, colourful beads and offers jewellery-making classes, while Gilchrist & Gilchrist is a magnet for lovers of shabby-chic furnishings. Small but luxe labels drape from the rails at Designer Renaissance, and

Ceri Hoover has become renowned for beautiful handbags. Suggest lunch on the run from Baja
Burrito, or breakfast with a twist at The Pfunky Griddle – each table has a griddle and diners are supplied with the batter and toppings to flip their
own pancakes. Sunny days are best spent grazing locally sourced antipasti on the patio at The Yellow Porch. Where to stay: The area is residential and non-touristy, with no hotels, so is best-suited to a day trip. Suggest a downtown hotel. The new 21c Museum Hotel, with rooftop suites, onsite galleries and pet-friendly accommodation, has a neighbourhood vibe despite its central location. Doubles from £230.

◗ MIDTOWN Why go: This vibrant area is an easy 20-minute walk from downtown via the bars of Broadway, making it an ideal base. There’s plenty to check out nearby too, with most activity centering on historic Vanderbilt University (the area is sometimes referred to as ‘Vanderbilt’). Suggest a stroll around the grounds, which have grand campus buildings, cherry trees and ancient oaks. What to do: The area is dotted with cute cafes, bars and quirky boutiques to potter around. Popular brunch spots include Tavern and Caviar & Bananas. At The Catbird Seat, diners can watch chefs prepare seasonal dishes behind the U-shaped counter. Suggest sampling a Nashville classic at Hattie B’s Hot Chicken Midtown, and sipping a handcrafted cocktail at The Patterson House. For a live-music fix with a laid-
back crowd, The Row serves chicken wings, barbecue and craft beers with a soundtrack provided by local bands. Where to stay: The Kimpton
