I'm going to Nashville to see a hockey game in February. I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations on where to stay as well as any restaurant recommendations. TIA.
Re: Nashville hotels
Find something close to the Bridgestone. You won't want to fight traffic on Broadway to park. We usually stay at The Holiday Inn Express on Broadway since we have so many points in that chain. It's about an 8 block walk, but they have a free shuttle and their own garage and lots for cars. Cabs are very easy to find in that area.
The Palm is good, but pricey for dinner. They relax their dress code for games and it's directly across the street from the arena. Demo's and Puckett's Grocery have been recommended to us by friends, but they aren't Gluten Free so I can't eat at either. Plan on eating at least 2 hours before the puck drops because you'll need time to get into the arena and find seats.
If your seats are Premium Lower Bowl seats, you can eat in the arena at the Patron Platinum Club. You'll probably want a reservation there. They have a 3 course dinner for a set price for those seat holders. Pucks and Pints in the Club Section is good too. Those areas have an Executive Chef who went to culinary school and worked at some of the best places in Chicago.
We also like The Pfunky Griddle for breakfast. It's a little out of the way, but you can make your own pancakes, french toast, omelets, and grilled cheese at your table because they have built in griddles.

My DH and I love to take a weekend trip to Nashville (we live in Memphis). I've used priceline before and gotten nice rooms at the Millenium Maxwell House Hotel. It is just outside downtown, but they have a shuttle and it is a cheap taxi ride if you don't want to drive downtown.
For food, I second Loveless Cafe and The Pfunky Griddle. My mom, BFF and I found the Pfunky Griddle out of luck while shopping for my wedding dress! Also love Fido on 21st Ave next to Vanderbilt.
Whiskey Kitchen is delicious. I had my bachelorette party in Nashville and we went there for dinner. You'll need reservations on the weekend. We didn't have them and ended up in bar seating, which was fine. We just had apps but they were delicious! I plan on actually eating there next trip I take.
