Pro Tips: Uber/Lyft everywhere is cheap and plentiful. Scooters (Bird/Lime) are fun for short hops. Get to Biscuit Love by 9am Saturday — waits hit 45+ min on weekends. Call Acme at (615) 915-0888 for a group table Saturday night. Pack a light jacket for evenings. It's Tennessee spring storm season — check the radar daily but the forecast is generally pleasant in the 70s.
