We love bringing non-Nashville content to you every now and then from our travels! For Spring Break this year, we set sail on a cruise adventure on the Carnival Horizon with some friends. We had so much fun on the ship and our shore excursions. If you are thinking about cruising yourself, be sure to check out these stateroom tour videos!

Also of note: Kevin our waiter was incredibly kind and knowledgeable - he elevated the entire dining experience and we’d definitely recommend requesting his section. Also a huge thanks to Matt for his hospitality and attention. Thank you Sunda for a top-notch experience from food to service, from start to finish.
*Bibingka was an off-menu dessert item that you absolutely should ask for. If you happen to have a gluten sensitivity, bonus points that this cake is made with rice flour! In fact, many items on the menu are friendly to dairy, gluten and other allergies or sensitivities. Also of note, most of their cocktails can be served as mocktails without sacrificing any flavor so you can still drink decadently without imbibing! To get there from The 12 SouthCarriage House, simply head north on 12 Ave South for 2 miles until the street comes to a "Y" in The Gulch neighborhood and Sunda is on your right, {park in the Icon garage, first hour is free, we parked for 2.5 hours for about $14.50.} LOCATED AT: 592 12th Ave S, Nashville, TN 37203 DINNER: 4pm-10pm Sun-Thurs, 4pm-11pm Fri & Sat BRUNCH: 11am-2pm Fri & Sat HAPPY HOUR: 4pm-6pm Mon-Thurs #Sunda #SundaNashville #SundaNewAsian #eatlocal #12SouthCarriageHouse #foodie #YellowBarnHospitality #AirBnB #AirBnBGuestFavorite #Nashville #NashvilleTN #VisitMusicCity #thenashvilleguide #NashvilleAirBnB #Tennessee #SuperHost #AirBnBsofInstagram #12South #musiccity #welcome #vacationrental #businesstraveler #cottage #adventure #travel #nashventures #airbnbnashville #615thinggstodo #Nashvilleairbnbs #nashvillehiddengems #tipjarnashville UPDATE: We are grateful to announce that we won SECOND PLACE in the 2023 "Best Of" Awards!

A few months ago we got a notification that The Tip Jar Nashville had tagged us and one of our photos in an Instagram reel. We DM'd back and forth a bit, found out one of my favorite neighbors is a mutual friend, got coffee and decided to do a collab. We are SO excited to finally be bringing you that collab - "The Xennial's Guide to 12 South." Read on for a "perfect day" in 12 South and be sure to follow @TheTipJarNash on Instagram for other awesome Nashville recommendations!
BRUNCH [ Lady Bird Taco ] - Kick off your day with some breakfast tacos at Lady Bird. Although it’s located one block over on 10th Avenue South, there’s still nowhere else in the neighborhood we’d recommend more highly. The tortillas are house-made, the brisket is delicious, and the “loaded up queso” really can’t be beat.
SHOPPING [ Imogene & Willie ] [ White's Mercantile ] - Next, get in some shopping at some Nashville original shops. We always find ourselves drifting into White’s Mercantile and Imogene & Willie both for their wares and the shared artisan-industrial vibe. White’s carries home goods and gifts (although we won’t tell if that gift turns into your own souvenir) and I&W hand-makes clothing with an emphasis on denim goods and what will totally be your new “old favorite tee.”
MURAL WALK [Just A Few Gents] [ Lego Men ] - While you're browsing, don't forget to keep an eye out for Nashville's famed murals! The neighborhood has quite a few murals to enjoy as you walk and many of them are tucked in hidden places (i.e., off the tourist radar). You can find a full list of them HERE on the 12 South Carriage House website but our two favorites are “Just A Few Gents” (12 South Tap Room) and the two lego men (Imogene & Willie and the alley behind Frothy Monkey)
REFUEL [Portland Brew] - If all that walking has your energy lagging, Portland Brew is the perfect spot for a pick-me-up. PB is one of those coffee shops that just has everything - cozy nooks for studying; bright spaces perfect for catching up with a friend; and, of course, delicious coffee, giant cookies, and a full sandwich menu. Their drinks are affordable and they offer a wide variety of options for the non-coffee drinker (one of my favorite chais in town, a great selection of teas, frappes, and even Italian sodas). STROLL [ Sevier Park ] - Coffee in hand, continue down the avenue to Sevier Park. This beautiful green space is a favorite of locals and tourists alike with outdoor recreational areas such as tennis and basketball courts, playground equipment, and a paved walking path. The community center houses a gym & fitness center and the 12 South Farmers’ Market is a delicious and fun seasonal offering. Sevier Park is currently renovating several historic buildings & facilities to restore their former beauty and add some amazing upgrades!
DINNER [ Epice ] - When it's time for dinner, Epice is a must-do. Don't let the restaurant's size fool you - it is one of the most unique spots in Nashville. Small but not crowded, minimalist yet stylish, this Lebanese eatery feels on par with the trendiest New York bistro. The food is extremely flavorful, the service fantastic, and it's the perfect spot for a sophisticated date or girls night. Reservations are highly recommended.
POST-DINNER DRINKS [ Josephine ] - To round out the day, head to Josephine for after-dinner drinks. Josephine's sommelier has carefully curated an excellent wine list, or if you're in the mood for something more unique, you can choose from their specialty cocktails. The vibe is intimate, cozy, and local and the perfect night cap for your day in 12 South.
STAY [ 12 South Carriage House ] - Instead of just spending the day, turn it into a stay-cation and book a reservation at The 12 South Carriage House. This 1 bedroom/1 bath space is stocked with everything you need and all the extras. Located just three houses off 12 Avenue, you are literally steps from all the amazing shopping/dining/leisure activities listed here and so many more. The only thing more top-notch than the space itself is the hospitality and we promise you’ll have a 5-star experience. I'm part of a "visit Nashville" group on Facebook and someone posting asking for tips of things to do with a 3 year old. I put together this quick list and thought I'd share it here as well for guests and friends to enjoy. There are so many other amazing options around town, but this is just a quick list to get you started.
1) Cheekwood Gardens - gorgeous gardens with lots of green space for kiddos to run and get some energy out! There is usually a seasonal exhibit and they are always amazing. There is also an incredible model train exhibit that you actually walk through and the trains go over your head and all around you plus a “children's garden” with a turtle pond etc. great for kids and parents. 2) Main Branch Library - beautiful space and free parking with validation for 1.5 hours at the attached garage. The children’s section is on the second floor and is epic with a playground, puppet play area, and more. Also check out their puppet show schedule! They are amazing! 3) The Tennessee State Museum is also downtown w/free parking and free admission. Parents would enjoy the whole museum for info about TN History and more plus there is an amazing kids room with activities and coloring and more. 4) Centennial Park is an amazing green space not far from Vanderbilt. Lots of families out picnicking and such and a duck pond where you can feed ducks (heads up you can only feed birdseed and fresh veggies, no bread). There is also a replica of the Parthenon that you can tour. 5) The Frist Art Museum has revolving fine and immersive exhibits perfect for grownups and kids to enjoy and on the top floor, the ArtQuest area is a hands on art experience that is a blast for everyone. 6) The Nashville Zoo is excellent excellent! We go all the time and the animal exhibits are beautiful, the animal show and veterinary center are unique and must-see and they just built a beautiful new playground for kids to enjoy. We were SO honored to be voted "Best Inn/Bed & Breakfast" in last year's Nashville Scene's "Best Of Nashville" awards and we'd love to do it again. Voting is open and runs through September 7th so cast your votes now!

WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU BOOK
I've repeatedly seen comments on social media of people concerned that they might be booking with a scam account or an oligarch posing as a Ukrainian and are hesitant to book. To be fair, this is a valid concern. My perspective on this is that anytime you give money to help someone else, there is little way to patrol the stewardship of that money once it leaves your hands. If booking an AirBnB is a way you choose to be supportive I would recommend:
There are LOTS of other ways to be supportive if this doesn't resonate with you! Here are two other ideas:
