Grand
Ole Opry House
|
Address: 2804 Opryland Dr Nashville, TN 37214
Tel: 615-889-3060
When the world famous Ryman Auditorium closed its doors to country
music performances, a section of the stage was removed and installed
here at the new home of the Grand Ole Opry. The building may be
modern, but the memories from the Ryman came along with the stage.
Country music
artists past, present and future consider performing here the highest
of honors. It is host to The Country Music Association Awards Show,
concerts, conventions and business conferences. The 45,000 square
foot building seats 4,400 people. |

New
Orleans Manor
|
Address:
1400 Murfreesboro Pike Nashville, TN 37217
Tel: 615-367-2777
This old plantation house has been the home of the city's finest
seafood buffet for over 20 years. Step past the tall white columns,
through the double doors and into a piece of Southern history.
The tall ceilings and wide windows provide a perfect view of the
airplanes taking off from the nearby Nashville airport. It's a
strange view from such an elegant establishment, but one glance
at the buffet and you will forsake any other sights. Crab legs
to lobster, shrimp to prime rib are at the ready. The price is
a bit steep, but you can't find this much seafood at this price
anywhere else. Dress is business casual, so you can be comfortable
in jeans and a polo or a blazer and tie.
