Find | Ingredients
I've used hibiscus flowers since day one at the restaurant, for both our house tisane (herbal tea) and for non-alcoholic pairings. When steeped in hot water, they turn it this amazing bright pink color, and have great acidity to them. You could also infuse a spirit with them -- perhaps a tequila or gin -- for a cool effect.

There are two locations in Nashville, specializing in Asian foods, but with a large selection of Hispanic and Middle Eastern as well. Great for seafood and produce, but also for obscure delicacies you can't find anywhere else.

Connected to Table 3 Bistro in the Green Hills mall, the market offers a fun selection of sandwiches, baked goods, as well as various oils and jams, Le Creuset pots and pans, and wine glasses.

The ultimate ‘meat & three.’ Everything is good, but if they have jalapeno grits and bread pudding, those are not to miss.

Germantown
Italian
Tandy Wilson is doing modern Italian food in a comfortable atmosphere, with great cocktails and a largely Italian wine list. Always awesome, but especially fun on Sunday nights for their ever-changing Sunday Supper menu. Order all the pork snacks!
F. SCOTT’S
Green Hills
Contemporary American
A Nashville institution, with one of the best (if not THE best) wine lists in town, run by the talented and gregarious Elise Lohr. Go after 9pm and all food is 50% off!

Bad name, great restaurant. The pho is good.

The best trained bartenders in town, making delicious takes on classic cocktails. A quiet den to have a intimate conversation.

Rutledge Hill
Coffee & Tea
I'm not a coffee drinker, but this is where to get the best cup in town. A nice place to just hang out and study or read the paper, too. You're guaranteed to run into at least one person you know.
