Nashville Diaries: Day Two in The Gulch

by Yasser Ogando

Sep 26, 2024

It was a happy Friday from Nashville! After a whirlwind first day, we decided to indulge in a little extra sleep to recharge our batteries. A refreshing workout followed, setting the perfect tone for the adventures ahead. Dressed up and ready to explore, we made our way to The Gulch, a neighborhood brimming with charm.

Our first stop was Milk and Honey, a spot that came highly recommended. Unsurprisingly, it was bursting with energy! While we waited for our table, we strolled around the neighborhood and were drawn in by the vibrant colors and inviting vibe of Vui’s Juice Café. We couldn’t resist popping in for a quick refreshment, and I’m so glad we did! The smoothies and juices were incredibly fresh, and the service was both quick and friendly — definitely a place I’d recommend.

Once we were seated at Milk and Honey, the food did not disappoint, but I have to say, my favorite part was the lavender honey latte. It’s a unique blend that really hit the spot, and I’m pretty sure my colleagues who joined us for the event that next week would wholeheartedly agree!

After breakfast we continued our exploration of The Gulch, stopping in a few boutiques along the way. One standout was Kittenish, a cute shop by Jesse James Decker with an irresistibly girly vibe. It felt like a little treasure trove of fun finds!

As the heat of the August day set in, we sought some shade at L.A. Jackson, a cool rooftop bar perched atop The Thompson Hotel. We sipped on refreshing spritzes while soaking in stunning views of Nashville’s skyline — definitely a moment to remember.Nashville

We couldn’t resist capturing a few photos at the iconic “WhatLiftsYou” wings mural; and as we wandered back toward Broadway, we noted all the intriguing places we wanted to visit. The allure of catching live music and enjoying a drink was hard to resist, but soon enough it was time to head back and prepare for our dinner reservation.Nashville

This trip had been wonderfully active, and I’d never felt better while traveling! Our evening at Bourbon Steak was the perfect culmination of our day, but, trust me, that experience deserves its own dedicated post. Stay tuned for all the delicious details!

Immerse in an Invigorating Thermal Journey at Scandinave Spa Whistler

The glittering green pines and burst of jasmine lake beyond almost made me forget about the aches in my legs that slowly developed after the promised hour-long hike ran into the third hour. And, oh, there were my hips, showing up to remind me I was no longer in my 20s. I didn’t mind, though, because the vision that surrounded me during our guided walk through Garibaldi Park to Cheakamus Lake in Whistler, British Columbia, with Mountain Skills Academy and Adventures proved worthy of a thousand postcards.
