What is your favorite morning drink? Nashville has some amazing coffee shops and cafes. If you are like me and work from home it is nice to get out the house and work from a new space even for couple hours. I have been drinking coffee since I can remember, although when I was a kid it was mostly milk I loved the activity of it. Having a good cup of matcha or coffee just sets the tone for the day. If you are tired of going to the chain coffee shops such as Starbucks, there are a ton of places you can try locally that you can also work from. Some of these places are Black owned, some have patios, some have beautiful aesthetics. Sweetwaters Cafe (Lennox Village) Funny Library (Virgin Hotel) All People (East Nashville) Poindexter (Graduate Hotel) Bongo Java (Multiple locations) Frothy Monkey (multiple locations) Crema (Two…

Ainsworth is a Restaurant with an Aesthetic You’ll Love

October 6, 2022

Ainsworth has been in Nashville at least 7 years and has cemented itself into the culture of the city. Located in what they are now calling Aertson Midtown on 21st Ave S. near Vanderbilt University. It is one of three locations in the US including Hoboken and Chelsea. Ainsworth is perfect if you are looking for a restaurant with aesthetic and the vibes. Their decor does a fantastic job of showcasing personality that is often lacking in Nashville restaurants. You walk into the restaurant through an archway covered in faux plants and lights making you feel as though you are walking into a new city. Although The Ainsworth is not my favorite restaurant, I don’t mind going whenever someone else suggests we go. Despite having impressive menu items including gold covered chicken wings (which they no longer have on their menu), mac & cheese burger and $15 bottles of champagne…

Finding the perfect sports bar can be tough but I have a solution for you if you are in the Antioch, Smyrna, Brentwood or La Vergne area, you should try the Thirsty Turtle.
