40042989 Legacy Said So

Ole Smoky Distillery can be a really fun place to eat, drink and hangout, especially on warm weather days. This establishment features a variety of dining and entertainment options, including a variety of bars, a whiskey and beer garden, a dining room, and a variety of souvenir shops. Its live entertainment and large-screen televisions are also available. Guests can also enjoy beverages and snacks by the glass. Now, I am going to be honest, you may not see many of us, Black folks, there but this place is amazing for large groups.

Parking sucks and is a little expensive but there are plenty of parking lots that may have reasonable pricing within walking distance. If you are in town visiting it is in…

Everything You Need to Know About Being Flexitarian

The flexitarian diet is a low-calorie, high-protein diet that allows you to enjoy meat occasionally. It’s also very strict and doesn’t involve counting calories.

The 4 Ingredient Chicken Taco Recipe You Need Now

Legacy Said So

This chicken taco recipe is one of the easiest recipes I know. Plus, who doesn’t love tacos!!! This recipe can be adjusted to be low sodium by substituting the chicken broth for low sodium chicken broth, veggie broth, or even water (less flavorful) and using salt-free taco seasoning. It is still delicious this way. Did I mention that it is PCOS friendly recipe? Oh yeah, it is! It is a hit every time I make it for large groups.

The Best Coffee Shops In Nashville Right Now

coffee bean lot

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

49586Screen Shot 2020 08 14 at 1.08.08 AM.png Legacy Said So

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…
