People travel from miles around to savor the joy of Nashville's most famous pancake place. If you're there before 7:30 am most days, you're probably going to walk right in. After that, you stand in line...a really, really long line. It's a right of passage and you can have your partner hold your place while you walk down to Fido for a couple cups of delicious coffee to keep you company while you wait.

Neighborhoods
When we first lived in Nashville, we lived on Belmont Blvd. We loved it for its quaint charm, great eateries and access to shopping, the Parthenon and Vanderbilt University. If you want to try the historic Pancake Pantry, get up early or stand in line. So worth it!

This is where Nashville quarantined its Hipsters. It's a fun area with a lot of great people and a laid back, creative neighborly feel. We usually ride our bikes there on the trail, but you can drive in 15 minutes. If it wasn't for the Cumberland River, it would be a walk.

Very close, offers golf, a skate park and E-Bike rentals. If you love to bike, you can get to East Nashville, Nashville or Percy Priest Damn on the Nashville bike trail. The trails are serene but can be a little crowded at times. We use the trails often and really enjoy the access to city and East Nashville. The ride to Percy Priest Dam is nice, but when you arrive it's pretty much such a big wall holding back water.
