The
District
Wedgewood-Houston
A pocket of former industrial Nashville, south of downtown, that has filled with serious kitchens and cocktail bars — close enough together that an evening can move between them.
Galleries, studios and workshops sit alongside the distilleries and breweries. A few streets of people making things, and then of people cooking.
Why it matters
The whole concept depends on proximity. When good rooms sit this close, an evening can pass through several without feeling like travel. That's what makes it an evening rather than an itinerary.
