Shelby Street Pedestrian Bridge Music City Center Nashville's Famed Honky-Tonks Live Music Nashville beckons in 2015 National Pavement Expo exhibitors and attendees LOVE Nashville for its easy access whether you drive or fly, great food and evening activities, and affordable lodging. In fact, Nashville is the birthplace of NPE … our hometown. Voted by Conde Nast Traveler in 2013 as one of the Top 5 cities to visit, Nashville is booming and the Music City Center is the new pulse of it all. Known for its trendy new restaurants and its eclectic music scene, Nashville has become a popular destination for many. Whether you are a sports fanatic, a music lover, or a fine-dining foodie, you will find it in Nashville. Endless entertainment options are just steps away from the Music City Center. People watch at the famous honky tonks, tour the Country Music Hall of Fame, or catch a hockey game. “ The new Nashville offers two things worth traveling for: a hot, trendy new food scene and its famous, funky music scene. The ‘haute southern’ cuisine is flourishing in Nashville at restaurants like The Patterson House and The Catbird Seat. Not to mention some of the tastiest and most creative cocktails we’ve ever tried. At night, you can’t walk two blocks without coming across some incredible live music, from bluegrass to brass bands, zydeco to country.
