Nashville, Like a Local

This is one very exciting week! After months and months of planning and preparation, the Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo will finally take place this weekend in downtown Nashville. I always love when people come to visit in Nashville and sharing all of the amazing things about our city, so to have thousands of colleagues coming this weekend, it’s like having the biggest group of friends in town all at once!

Before I get much further into this post, I’ll share that even if you don’t have a trip to Nashville planned for the immediate future, you may want to keep reading on….(hint: awesome Spotify playlist ahead!) 🙂

For all my fellow nutrition friends who will be descending upon Nashville this weekend, I hope you’ve read this FNCE special edition issue from Food & Nutrition Magazine and made plans to squeeze in some great food, live music, & more in between sessions. You’ll also find a copy of the magazine in the attendee bags at the conference.

Curious about the best walking/jogging routes in the city? Read this!

Want to see what people are noshing on in the city? Or maybe you’re looking for an outdoor adventure in Nashville? These are my favorite Nashville-based Instagram accounts! Warning: you may have a serious case of FOMO after looking at some of these pictures!

Whether you’re flying in, driving in, or going for a jog around downtown, this Spotify playlist filled with Nashville-based bands will get you into that Nashville state of mind. There’s a whole lot more than country music happening in Music City!
