Four Things In Nashville Not to Miss This Month
- Now Open: Since Bar Continental closed almost two years ago, that’s left a gap on the ground floor of the Grand Hyatt at the head of the popular tourist strip of Broadway. Now, the opening of Detroit-based steakhouse Prime + Proper brings serious panache, and aims to stand out in a crowded field of great local options. The extensive dry-aged beef program is a key differentiator, along with near-obsessive levels of customer service. The stunning remodeled interior features lots of brushed metal, plush fabrics, and marble, befitting the luxurious experience of dining at this new special-occasion destination.
- Good Sports: The April sporting calendar is wonderfully crowded, from the NCAA Basketball Final Four and the Masters golf tournament to the beginning of baseball season, NHL and NBA playoffs, plus the NFL draft when football teams build for the future. Almost Friday will be the place to be in SoBro to watch all the action. Not many sports bars allow patrons to reserve a table, but Almost Friday offers choices between tables, lounge seating, or a high-top table for two to perch at while you enjoy their brand of high-end bar food and beverages.
- Hop to It: One of the biggest brunch date on the calendar, hop on those Easter reservations early! Among favorite restaurants are planning special meal services and buffets, Butcher & Bee will offer a three-course spread, including desserts and treats for the whole table. The Nashville Grange brings an elevated brunch buffet for the occasion, and the first two hours of valet parking are free. City Winery rolls out a buffet featuring Scottish salmon and glazed ham, with an optional mimosa bar upgrade. Finally, the lovely lobby at The Hermitage will be the spot for a sumptuous buffet, including pastries, egg dishes, a raw bar, and carving stations, plus live music and a visit by the Easter Bunny.
- Plan Ahead: Culaccino in Nashville Yards joins the lineup of the Music City Food & Wine Festival’s Intimate Dinners series with a special six-course Italian tasting menu paired with wines from Banfi, a family-run winery in Montalcino, Tuscany. Seating will be intentionally limited to create an intimate ambiance where guests can connect while learning about how the whites and reds of Banfi complement regional Italian dishes.
