On our way back from a quick getaway in Asheville, we couldn’t resist making our usual stop in Nashville. It’s hard to believe we’ve visited this vibrant city over fifty times together! Each visit feels like coming home, and this pit stop was no exception.
DegThai: A Culinary Delight
Our first order of business was dinner at DegThai, a spot that’s been on our radar for a while. Let me tell you, it lived up to all the hype and then some. We indulged in two orders of crispy spring rolls, Classic Pad Thai, and fried rice with chicken. Here’s a pro tip: add a Thai fried egg to both main dishes. It elevates the flavors to a whole new level.
The attentiveness of the staff was truly impressive. They were knowledgeable about the menu and made sure our dining experience was top-notch. It’s clear why DegThai has such a stellar reputation in Nashville’s food scene.
Frothy Monkey: Fueling Our Journey Home
After our satisfying meal, it was time to caffeinate for the drive home. Frothy Monkey came to our rescue, thanks to their later operating hours compared to other coffee shops in the area. It’s a godsend for night owls and travelers like us.
While Frothy Monkey’s ambiance and service were great, we did notice that some drinks can taste a bit milky. Our recommendation? Ask for an extra shot of espresso in your beverage. It’ll give you that perfect balance of creamy and caffeinated.
Why Nashville Feels Like Home
There’s something special about Nashville that keeps drawing us back. Maybe it’s the warm Southern hospitality, the vibrant music scene, or the ever-evolving food landscape. Whatever it is, after more than fifty visits, this city has carved out a special place in our hearts.
Each trip to Nashville, even if it’s just a pit stop like this one, reminds us why we love this city so much. From trying new restaurants to revisiting old favorites, there’s always something to look forward to. The vibrant music scene pulsates through the air, inviting us to discover new sounds and celebrate the familiar. Whether we’re enjoying a Nashville luxury overnight stay or simply savoring a slice of hot chicken, the city never fails to leave a lasting impression. Each visit rekindles our excitement and deepens our appreciation for the unique charm that Nashville has to offer.
As we hit the road again, caffeinated and content, we couldn’t help but feel grateful for another memorable Nashville experience. And while thoughts of our Asheville adventure lingered, we were already looking forward to our next Nashville visit. After all, what’s a road trip without a stop in our home away from home?
