The Lowdown from Those in the Know: Nashville Insider Insights
Passenger Transport asked the experts—WeGo Public Transit employees—to share some of their favorite area hotspots to help attendees enhance their Annual Meeting experience. Here are their recommendations of a few places you might not find in a tourist guide. Enjoy!
If in the mood for a taste of Spanish Caribbean flavors, try Salsa Restaurant on Palmer Place. Just a short walk from Demonbreun or 8th Avenue South (WeGo Routes 2, 8 or Green Circuit). Classic Puerto Rican and Latin cuisine with a modern twist. Hey, you can even get free salsa dancing lessons on Tuesday nights!
— Felix Castrodad, Director of Planning
Saltines Restaurant, 1922 West End Ave. (Routes 3 and 5). This place is cool!!! Such yummy oysters and great service!!!!!
— Greta Beard, Procurement Manager/DBE Liaison Officer
Take the 20 Scott through trendy East Nashville into Inglewood to visit Mitchell Deli, an amazing sandwich shop that is a local favorite that also has plenty of vegetarian and gluten-free options. And follow up your sandwich with an artisanal coffee at Dose at the corner of Riverside and McGavock, or an after-dinner bourbon mule at Village Pub right next door. It’s a cute, walkable neighborhood and a great example of the creative heart of Nashville with record shops, murals and locally owned businesses.
— Amanda Clelland, Public Information Officer
If you want to rub elbows with the music industry in Nashville, head to the Berry Hill neighborhood during lunchtime on the 1 bus. Producers, sound engineers, artists and execs all feed their creativity and their bellies at the likes of Baja Burrito, Sam & Zoe’s, Vui’s Kitchen, Sunflower Café and Calypso Café.
— Miriam Leibowitz, Community Outreach and Engagement Specialist You have to try WoolWorth’s on 5th. The food is tasty and the cocktails festive. Just a few blocks walk from WeGo Central.
— Jason Minser, Director of Marketing
