15. Nashville, Tenn.

Country music lovers have long made the
pilgrimage to Nashville, but now the city has fast gained cachet among
rock fans and foodies. The city’s vibrant scene is home to the Black
Keys, Kings of Leon, Jeff the Brotherhood and Diarrhea Planet, who all
play in town occasionally. And a youthquake is transforming scruffy
neighborhoods like 12South and East Nashville into hipster hubs. New
hangouts include Pinewood Social, a bar, restaurant, bowling alley and karaoke joint, and the 404, a restaurant and boutique hotel in a former auto garage. Add to that a thriving culinary scene, exemplified by the Music City Eats Festival, back for a second year in September. And Nashville’s old standbys — like the honky-tonk Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge and the venerable Ryman — are as fun as ever. — STEVEN KURUTZ (link)
