Nashville coincidentally enough! The first was Eastland Cafe which is located right next to Rosepepper Cantina (my favorite Mexican establishment in Nashville with the absolute best mojitos in town!). A trendy little cafe, we started our meal off with the Coconut Shrimp appetizer and then for dinner I had the Pecan Crusted Chicken – both were absolutely incredible and believe it or not, your money goes a long way there! Even better is that they have a nightly HAPPY HOUR from 5 to 6:30 which is perfect for those after work rendezvous with your favorite person… appetizers are only $5 and include such goodies as pepperoni pizza, spring rolls, hummus, and potstickers, specialty martinis are $5 as well, and their premium beers are featured at a whopping $3 – a little can go a long way at this casual bistro that’s a sister restaurant to the Park Cafe.
And while I’m talking about East Nashville, I’ll also mention another fabulous find we discovered last week… Battered and Fried Boston Seafood House at 5 Points – a little forewarning, do NOT go here if you’re looking to eat lightly, but quite the opposite- if you’re itching for some fried fresh seafood, this is the place for you! They do feature a sushi bar, as well as sandwiches, pastas, and burgers, but I went all out and tried the Batter’d and Fried Basket which had a sampling of fish, clam strips, and butterfly shrimp AND quite possibly the best french fries I’ve had in what seems like forever! They also have a cozy little patio perfect for spring and summer nights and I can’t wait to go back with a big group of my seafood lovers- ARGGHHH! (that’s my best pirate impression)
