In the battle of the brewpubs, Broadway also has Cajun food

Posted by Dane on November 12th, 2008

Hmm, I’m going to have to check that out. Flying Saucer? Sounds like its right up my alley. We certainly do live at a good time if you’re a beer sort of person. When I was in my 20s it was the red-and-white can or the silver can.

Now there are places like the Broadway Brewhouse in Midtown. This is where I send people who are looking for a good brewpub. They have more than 70 beers on tap and another 100 more in the bottle. And the folks are great there and will usually give you a taste if you’re curious.

And while they don’t have brats, they do have the Mojo Grill right next door which has great spicy Cajun-style food that goes perfect with the beer. And the price is right there too.

Get out and meet your local ghosts and goblins before it’s too late

Posted by Dane on October 29th, 2008

I wouldn’t have guessed it but we took Dora’s nephew to a haunted house last night and it actually made me jump a couple of times. I didn’t even want to go. Last year we took him and he started crying before we even got the tickets. So I figured I’d wait in the car and listen to the radio.

But they both worked on me. And Dora gave me that look. So I went. And I’ll be darned if they didn’t do a good job with the whole thing. Pretty creepy actually. I’m not sure Alex will want to go again though. Ha.

If you’re curious, it’s called Demon’s Den House of Horrors and it’s across the street from the Hickory Hollow Mall. But get moving because for some reason their last night is the night before Halloween.

Get your bib for the 20th annual BBQ championship at Jack Daniel’s

Posted by Dane on October 24th, 2008

Stop eating now. You want to save room. Because the 20th annual Jack Daniel’s world BBQ championship is around the corner. You have to swing over to Lynchburg, but it’s BBQ. At Jack Daniel’s. What more do you need to know?

This year it looks like more than 60 teams will be competing for the title of Grand Champion on Oct. 24-25. If you love a plate of smoky ribs or a tasty brisket sandwich you owe it to yourself to get over there.

There will also be two stages of music and crazy games. There’s the Country Dog Contest and something called Butt Bowling that I’m not sure I want to know about. You can also take a free tour of the Jack Daniel Distillery. Between plates.

Block out a night of rocking music over in Elliston Place

Posted by Sabrina on October 22nd, 2008

Don’t think that everyone that lives in Nashville or comes here only loves country music. OK, I do love it, but I also like rock too! They call us the Music City, not the Country Music City! Right?

So over at Elliston Place you can rock out as loud as you want. It’s just west of downtown near Vanderbilt. I guess you could call it one of the younger, trendier areas, but it’s got lots of food places and nighttime stuff to do.

And right in the middle is what we call the Elliston Place Rock Block. This a block-long area that has like five or six rock clubs. Probably the most well known is Exit/In. It’s been around since the ’70s. But my favorite is The End across the street. Told you we’re not only country!

Rock on!

This bachelorette party turned the party at The Pink Slip up to 11

Posted by Sabrina on October 3rd, 2008

We had a bachelorette party come into the The Pink Slip last night and everyone is still talking about it. Those were some crazy girls. They were actually pretty well behaved, but they did end up forgetting one girl and had to come back!

They did it in a smart way, though. They rented a limo and they were all wearing the same yellow shirt. I wish I could remember what it said! It got a lot of laughs.

But they had a good time and their limo driver even had a quick dinner in the restaurant. I thought that was cute. Like a chaperone. He was an older guy named Mort. I asked him what he thought about the whole thing and he said he thought his wife was loud. Ha!

See ya,
Sabrina

Fun for boys, girls, moms, dads, cows and pigs, but not alligators

Posted by Sabrina on September 2nd, 2008

Where can you see racing pigs, diving pirates and flying motorcycles, and go on rides and eat great food and do it with the whole family? The Tennessee State Fair of course! I haven’t been able to go the last couple of years but we’re going next week because my cousins have their cows there this year. And I’m really looking forward to it!

It is one of the main big events of the summer and it’s just so much fun! I love the smell of the hay and the animals and the hotdogs and the snowcones. Everything! And I absolutely love the rides!

If you want to go, it runs from Sept. 5-14 at the fairgrounds, which are close to downtown. Apparently this year there’s even a guy that wrestles crocodiles! That’s a ride I think I can probably skip.

Have fun!

Look like a star by getting your hair cut and colored with them!

Posted by Sabrina on July 14th, 2008

OK, what do Faith Hill, Ashley Judd and I have in common? Other than beauty and southern charm.  We’ve all had our hair done at Trim! My new favorite place!

Me and my friend went on a gift certificate she got and it was perfect. I guess I knew about Trim. Maybe. A lot of stars go there. And once you go it’s easy to see why.

Part of is definitely it’s supercool 1940s barber side with all the original barber chairs from back then, the dark paneling and the porcelain sinks. And then on the other side is this bright vintage-y beauty shop (like something from Grease!).

The service was great too. They even have free coffee — and free shoe shines! Oh, and guys, you can get a hot shave there!

TTFN!
