GEODIS Park

Nashville is now home to the largest soccer-specific venue in the United States and Canada. Home field for Nashville SC, Music City's major league soccer team, the 30,000seat GEODIS Park has a 360-degree canopy, a 65-footwide shared concourse and a safe-standing section. With just 150 feet between the last row of seats and the touchline, the stadium gets fans closer to the action than ever before. In addition to being a sports center, it’s also a cultural hub, full of art installations and home to the Soundwaves Gallery, which includes 48 works from 29 Middle Tennessee artists. Nashville SC also supports the community through its many programs that champion youth, families, local heroes and diversity.

Chicken Guy

Guy Fieri takes the chicken sandwich to new heights at Chicken Guy, where chicken tenders are brined in lemon juice, pickle brine and buttermilk and infused with fresh herbs to deliver a unique taste only the Mayor of Flavortown could provide! Try them in a basket, salad bowl or signature sandwich stuffed beyond the bun with goodness. They’re accompanied by 22 sauces—everything from Fieri’s famous Donkey Sauce to Bourbon Brown Sugar Barbecue to Nashville Hot Honey. Sample away, there are multiple possibilities no matter your intensity level. Fieri teamed up with restaurateur Robert Earl to bring the concept to nine locations and counting, including downtown Nashville.

It's all about the tenders at Chicken Guy. Order them in a 3- or 5-piece combo, or inside a sandwich (which includes two tenders), which also comes in a combo. Fries and a fountain beverage are included.

There are 22 signature sauces on the menu at Chicken Guy. They include Guy's Favorites, such as Special Sauce, classics such as Buttermilk Ranch and Hot 'N' Spicy such as Nashville Hot Honey.

WHAT’SNEW

Woolworth Theatre

Opened as one of the company’s original “five-and-dime” stores in 1913, Nashville’s Historic Woolworth is best known for the sit-ins that occurred there in 1960, protesting the segregation that would not allow Black people service at the lunch counter. Famously, three groups of Black college students remained seated at the counter even after being asked to leave, considered an act of civil disobedience. Among the protestors was future congressman John Lewis. The site is now a live music venue and cocktail lounge but retains some of its historic pieces, such as lunch counter stools and original railings.

WHAT’SNEW

June

The newest Nashville restaurant from James Beard Award-winning chef Sean Brock, June introduces diners to ingredients from the American South. Brock and his team distill these ingredients down in the adjoining Research & Development Lab, where they come up with new creations and taste sensations—strong emphasis is placed on seasonality and attention to detail. The resulting dishes are served up on a tasting-only menu at the 32-seat restaurant; diners can watch the intricate detail that goes into them from their sightline into the open kitchen. Light is an integral part of the experience, as illusion of space is key. Plates come in five acts: canapes, water, land, dessert and petit fours.
