Elliston Place Soda Shop
This eatery has served fountain Cokes and meat-and-threes to Vandy students since the 1930s, and the decor hasn't changed much since.

Prince's Hot Chicken
Cayenne-rubbed 'hot chicken, ' fried to succulent perfection and served on a piece of white bread with a side of pickles, is Nashville's unique contribution to the culinary universe. Tiny, faded Prince's, in a northside strip mall, is a local legend. In mild, medium, hot and death-defying extra hot, its chicken will burn a hole in your stomach and you'll come back begging for more.

Merchant's
In a renovated 19th-century hotel in the heart of the District, this clubby bistro has gleaming parquet floors, white tablecloths and a mahogany bar overlooking Broadway. Splurge on ritzy, old-school fare such as steak au poivre (pepper steak) and chicken Louis. The downstairs Grille has cheaper, more casual eats.

Family Wash
This East Nashville neighborhood gastropub is the kind of place where you can eat a sublime roast-garlic shepherd's pie and nurse a microbrew while watching the bartender shoot the breeze with the regulars and kids play with toy cars on the floor. Live music gets rolling on the small stage around 9pm most nights.

Noshville
Misplaced Yankees adore this delightful New York-style deli, a play on the Yiddish word 'nosh,' meaning 'snack.' Customers sink their teeth into gigantic, juicy corned beef and pastrami sandwiches at the red vinyl booths, sip matzo ball soup at the modern chrome counter or get a bagel and lox to go.

Market Street Public House
This dark wood-paneled pub is a friendly refuge from the noise and lights of the District. There's a great selection of homemade microbrews and regulars' beer steins hang on the wall. The menu has salads, burgers and sandwiches as well as heartier 'pub fayre' like shepherd's pie and fish 'n' chips.

Margot Cafe
This newcomer to the low-profile East Side does rustic French and Italian cuisine with great sophistication - think goat cheese ravioli, locally raised braised lamb, Riesling ice cream. The small restaurant, with exposed brick and yellow walls, is cozy and casually romantic. Menus change daily.

Monell's
In an old brick house just north of the District, Monell's is beloved for down-home Southern food served communally, meaning you sit with strangers and pass the food around the table yourselves. This being Nashville, you'll all be friends before you're done with your fried catfish.

Arnold's
Grab a tray and line up with college students, garbagemen, and country-music stars at Arnold's, king of the meat-and-three. Slabs of drippy roast beef are the house specialty, along with fried green tomatoes, cornbread two ways, and big gooey wedges of chocolate cream pie.
