Nashville’s Best New Bars and Restaurants in September
Our newest contributor is Jenn Harbin of the Hungry Loner, who recently launched a column on our website where she’ll be featuring the best new bars, restaurants, and pop-ups in town every month. She sat down with Grace Fuisz to give us her mouthwatering picks for August and September, including Fancypants, Butterlamp, Koré, Choy, and more. Plus, we get the Hungry Loner’s origin story.
And stick around for our special segment, A Mile in Their Boots: We’ll be going inside a day in the life of Zach Lykins, executive director of Trinity Community Commons. Thanks to Tecovas, our Western wear faves, for sponsoring this segment, and for being our exclusive launch sponsor!
