We started the Nashville Food Tour at the Far Better Distillery, a small distillery where the owner is passionate about moonshine. While I don’t generally keep moonshine at home, some readers may find its provenance and flavors fascinating.

We recently purchased two tours on Viator.com for the highly recommended rockin’ Nashville Evening Trolley Tour! We have a link for Viator and information posted in the Travel Section of A New Yorker’s Point of View.

We also booked a Taste of Food, and Sightseeing Tour focused on here.

It was time to visit the finest cookie shop named Christie Cookie. I tried the fabulous White Chocolate Macadamia Nut cookie. It practically knocked me off my feet!

Next was Martin’s Bar-B-Que Joint, famous for its various delicious specialties.

We each ordered a sampling of a rib, brisket, and potato popovers accompanied by an assortment of special dipping spices.

Our food-tasting tour was just getting warmed up! It was time for Aunt Pam’s Cookies, an artistic culinary staple of Nashville for almost 20 years. Their cookies have zero artificial preservatives or sweeteners. All proceeds directly support Aunt Pam’s Friend’s Program, which provides jobs for adults with mental disabilities. As a former educator, this especially touches my heart!

I selected the Bourbon Pecan Pie, a perfect trio of baked delights!

Our last stop was a home run at “Third and Home” for a serving of Hot Chicken and Flatbreads. This is a famed dish of Nashville.

 Viator.com is one site offering a Nashville tour, and it worked well for us. If you use Viator, request a tour guide named Scott. He was knowledgeable, pleasant, and added to the tour’s delight.

Electric Lemon at Hudson Yards

The Electric Lemon restaurant is located at the top of the five-star Equinox Hotel in Hudson Yards. The rooftop bar boasts an 8,000-square-foot rooftop garden with a monumental Jaume Plensa sculpture. It overlooks the Hudson River and the city skyline. They possess a wide range of food and drinks, from light bites to seasonal offerings at dinner and rooftop brunch on the weekends. It’s open all year round because of the sleek and expansive dining room and fire-pits on the al fresco terrace.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s

I suppose that the title of my blog post, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, is a little misleading because it turned out to be Dinner at Tiffany’s, or more accurately, Dinner at the Blue Box Café. This Cafe honors the romance of the 1961 film starring Audrey Hepburn. Tiffany’s of course was the romantic setting where the lovely Audrey Hepburn went each morning with a pastry and cup of coffee to have breakfast as she window shopped. You might add Breakfast at Tiffany’s to your movie viewing list if you’ve missed it. The song Moon River will have new meaning for you!
