Oh! Sorry, I saw another thread where timj219 was asking about Nashville shops. From what I gather from that thread it sounds like Uptown, Belle Meade and Smoke and Ale are the best option. We will only be there 1 day after xmas so I will probably just grab and go. I like Tats,Viajes and Opus X, if you can point me to the shop that carries the best selection of these it will be greatly appreciated!!

[Boz]

Viajes I dont know. I need to check around for the Opus. Stogies in Cool Springs had a big selection but were sold out the last time I was in there. Belle Meade was one of the unlucky 13 or whatever that had a large supply of the Tat Wolfman so I know they have a big selection of Tats. Uptowns also has a pretty good selection of Tats. I picked up an Avion last time I was in there but they also had the Fausto and quite a few others. Since you wont be here till Christmas, I'll do some checking around and let you know.

Thanks William!! That will help alot since the wife and I will be there for a only a day! Any suggestions for local non-chain restaurants?

If you get lost and find yourself in Albany NY go to Habana Premium.

There's a tiny Italian place off of the I65 and Harding Pl exit called Mama Mia's. My wife and I go there and love it. You can bring your own bottle of wine and they will uncork it and pour it (I think they charge a $5 or so fee for that though). Then there's Demos'. They have 4 locations but only in middle Tn. so not really a chain. It's a steakhouse and I absolutely love this place. I'm not sure where you'll be staying but there is a location in downtown Nashville. I'll see if my wife can think of any more and get back to you.

I cant believe I forgot these.
Mafiaoza's on 12th.
Burger Up on 12th.
P.M. Nashville on Belmont.

I don't remember being impressed enough to go back there. Maybe I need to give it another shot.

Uptown's, or JK's?

Only been to both a couple of times or so, and enjoyed it. I will say JK's is a little expensive.

Sorry, JK's. I dont mind paying the price, I just didnt think they were worth it. Like I said though, maybe I need to give them a second chance. Could've been a bad night for the chef or a bad night for my palette.
