Also in close proximity is Belmont Blvd. which runs parallel to 12 Avenue South. Although mostly residential (and thus a great place to take long walks or go for a jog as many folks do), Belmont boasts a few great places to eat and see and so I couldn't leave it out. Or if walking isn't your thing, hop in the car and you'll be to any of these places in about 2 minutes flat. Just watch out for cyclists and use your share-the-road etiquette when crossing the bike lane.

INTERNATIONAL MARKET II
The Backstory: The original International Market opened 45 years ago in a small retail space that was demolished when the new Belmont Fisher Center for the Performing Arts was built. The son & daughter of the original owners still own/operate and cook for the restaurant. We recommend checking their Instagram @imnashville for instructions on reservations, hours, etc. |
