Robert's Western World

Nashville, Tennessee

The last real honky-tonk on Lower Broadway. While the rest of the strip has devolved into party barns and rooftop DJ sets, Robert's keeps it pure — live country music, cold beer, a fried bologna sandwich, and boots for sale on the wall. No cover, no gimmick, just the thing Nashville used to be on every block.

Insider tip

Go on a weeknight after 9pm. The house band, Brazilbilly, plays classic country with a rockabilly edge that'll ruin you for every other Broadway bar.

Prince's Hot Chicken Shack

The place that started it all. Prince's has been serving Nashville hot chicken since the 1940s, and everything else in town is a footnote. The heat levels are real — medium here would be extra-hot anywhere else. The room is no-frills, the wait can be long, and none of that matters once you bite in. This is ground zero.

EatEast Nashville

Audrey

Sean Brock's love letter to Southern Appalachian cooking, served in a converted house with a garden out back that supplies half the menu. This isn't nostalgia food — it's painstaking research into heirloom ingredients and forgotten techniques, plated with a precision that makes every course feel like a thesis defense. The tasting menu is the move.

The Hermitage Hotel
StayGermantown

The Hermitage Hotel

Nashville's only Beaux-Arts hotel, open since 1910 and still the most elegant room in the city. The lobby ceiling alone is worth a visit — barrel-vaulted stained glass that makes you stand a little straighter. The rooms have been updated without losing the gravitas. The men's restroom downstairs won an award. No, really.

ExperienceCapitol Hill · Denver, Colorado

City Park

Denver's great urban park — 330 acres of lakes, gardens, and green space with a view of the skyline that belongs on a postcard. The lake is where half the city comes to run, the pavilion hosts summer concerts, and on a clear day the mountain panorama from the east side is one of the best free views in Colorado. It's Central Park with better weather and bigger skies.

ExperienceThe Strip · Las Vegas, Nevada

Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens

A free, 14,000-square-foot indoor garden inside the Bellagio that gets reimagined five times a year by a team of horticulturists working with what feels like an unlimited budget. The seasonal installations are genuinely spectacular — and the room is open 24 hours, which is a pleasant Vegas-specific use of the phrase. Walk through at 3 a.m. with a coffee.
