ashville has long been known for its country music scene, but these days the city draws attention for more than its tunes. National publications g note of everything Nashville, from food and fashion

In 2015, Forbes magazine ranked Nashville on its list of “Boom Towns for College Graduates,” and Forbes.com calls Music City one of the “Best Places for Business and Careers.” Time declared the city as “Red Hot” for a burgeoning music business, a diverse and thriving music scene, and our charming ability to live among the stars and leave them alone.

Some may think of Nashville as a meat-and-three kind of town, but Nashville’s hip food scene is getting noticed. Travel + Leisure lauded the city for offerings as diverse as hot chicken (Prince’s), Mexican popsicles (Las Paletas) and farm-to-table

meals (Margot Cafe & Bar). And with standout restaurants like Adele’s, The Catbird Seat and Husk, the city is drawing attention from publications like USA Today and Southern Living.

Nashville’s vibrant music scene is another trait that earns nods. Travel + Leisure recently cited the city as having the #1 “Music Scene” in the country. And with venues like The Bluebird Cafe, 3rd and Lindsley, The Station Inn and Ryman Auditorium, it’s no surprise that Orbitz declared Nashville’s music scene as #4 in the country (right behind NYC, LA and Chicago).

Nashville has even been noticed for one of its delightful Southern charms: its accent. While accents are sometimes the source of jokes and ridicule, Travel + Leisure readers seem to think otherwise. On a list of “America’s Most Charming Accents,” readers ranked Nashville #4. Seems folks love the Nashville drawl, y’all, noting that residents here have “added some city” to their Southern accent.

Music City is also a thriving hub for industry; many companies have a long history here. Bridgestone, HCA, BMI, Thomas Nelson Publishing, Louisiana-Pacific and Dollar General all have corporate offices here — a testament to strong business foundations and economic growth.
