American Restaurant · Hillsboro West End · 59 tips and reviews
Roberta Caraglia: AMAZING shrimp & grits. The atmosphere is a bit too "trendy" at the weekend and it's packed with Vandy students, but the food is great. Best bet is to go during the week.
Japanese Restaurant · Whitebridge · 27 tips and reviews
Roberta Caraglia: Don't even bother trying any other sushi restaurants in Nashville. This is the real deal. The sushi chefs are actually Japanese (what a concept!) and the wait staff is always so friendly.
Vintage and Thrift Store · East End · 4 tips and reviews
Lucky Magazine: Shopping this rambling East Nashville Victorian-turned–antiques shop is like exploring Grandma’s frozen-in-time house—if Grandma had saved all the right retro things.
Lucky Magazine: This teeny vintage spot specializing in gently worn cowboy boots is the perfect place for your “when in Nashville” purchase. Our pick: a red ’70s pair.
Cosmetics Store · Green Hills · 4 tips and reviews
Lucky Magazine: Picture Sephora—then add a heaping dose of Southern charm. This beauty megastore features Lorac and Stila makeup counters, a salon, a candy counter and the friendliest Southern-belle saleswomen.
Vintage and Thrift Store · Bellmont-Hillsboro · 6 tips and reviews
Lucky Magazine: The coolest part about this Hillsboro vintage-mixed-with-new-stuff boutique: The new stuff—White Rabbit tunics, Ren feather earrings—is all made by young, independent Nashville designers.
Lucky Magazine: Two DIY-minded girlfriends—one restores ’50s armchairs, the other turns antique coins into pendant necklaces—launched this new store for homemade creations, cheeky greeting cards and vintage handbags.
Lucky Magazine: This year-old leather-goods line is located in an abandoned Germantown meatpacking plant that’s really hard to find. So activate your GPS—the handstitched boots and buttery totes are worth the hunt.
Lucky Magazine: There isn’t a Barneys or Saks in Nashville, but Holly Williams fills the void with her shop, which offers a department-store-style range of J Brand jeans, Rick Owens leather jackets and Clu tanks.
