Welcome back to this little universe we call our newsletter. In reality, I seldom “do brunch” anymore, but when I do, it’s usually someone else’s idea and I’m rushing out the door thirty minutes after I receive the text. So, since April is National Brunch Month, we put together a brunch guide to make sure you’re the one sending the invite with some fun new ideas!
Also, if you’re leaning fully into the lifestyle, there’s a daily brunch (7am-3pm) at Modern Love in the Fairlane Hotel that’s basically built for lingering, the kind where one round turns into two and suddenly it’s mid-afternoon. Throw your name in for a free brunch for two… feels like a solid move!*

EASTER WEEKEND BRUNCH IDEAS

April in Nashville is basically brunch season in its initial formation. The patios are back, friends are looking to spring forward into action, and someone’s already two mimosas deep before you’ve even looked at the menu.
Whether you’re recovering, celebrating, or just pretending you’re a “day person” now that it’s nice out, this is your excuse to lock in a reservation (or roll the dice on a waitlist). From biscuits, Bloody Marys, and DJs to full-on easter bunny meet-and-greet parties for the kiddos, here’s where to brunch this weekend.
THE RYMAN AUDITORIUM PRESENTS:
UPCOMING SHOWS AT THE RYMAN

The Ryman isn’t just a venue, it’s the kind of place where a set by your favorite artist turns into a borderline spiritual experience. The pews, the acoustics, the ghosts of every legend who’s ever played there… yeah, it hits. There’s a reason why event the touring artists themselves herald this as one of their main bucket-list venues in the world to play!
And the upcoming lineup? Stupid good. We’re talking genre-hopping, goosebump-inducing, “wait how is this happening in the same room?” kind of shows. Whether you’re chasing a bucket-list artist or seeing that buzz band for the first time live.
There are concerts, and then there’s seeing one at The Ryman. Big difference!
Peep the full lineup, grab your tickets, and go ahead and be that guy that invites your friends to their first Ryman show.*
