The world is full of must-see cities, places most everyone adds to their bucket list throughout their lifetime. But, Nashville is the ultimate map-dot, and Music City rightfully earned that title through its qualities listed below.

1. Music

If there's anything Nashville is known for, it's music. And though it's true country music serves as the backbone of the city, it's not the only genre appreciated in Music City. Whether it's rising artists playing local bars or a complete heart-throb star playing Bridgestone Arena, you're bound to find quality music here.

2. Food

Alright foodies, this one's for you. Imagine this: you're hungry, but you just can't put your finger on what type of food is calling you today. Well, no need to fret because Nashville covers all of its food bases. The Pancake Pantry is the city's go-to for breakfast foods. If you're in more of a Mexican food mood, head on over to Taco Mamacita for a delicious bite to eat. If that doesn't do it for you, try Whiskey Kitchen; you won't be disappointed.

3. Scenery

Cities small and large are known for their beautiful scenery, but there's nothing more breathtaking than the rolling hills of Middle Tennessee. And don't get me started on the Nashville skyline. Color the night dark, light up AT&T's building, famously known as the Batman Building, and admire the ever-changing beauty of this one-of-a-kind skyline. After all, you won't find it anywhere else.

4. Opportunities

In a growing city like Nashville, the opportunities are endless. Whether it pertains to a potential job or just trying to find something to entertain you for the night, Nashville is stealing the show, and nobody has a problem with it.

5. Sports

C'mon what's better than Nashville sports? Exactly, nothing! After the Predators', Nashville's favorite hockey club, record-breaking success of a season, the town is sure to represent their men in gold for years and years to come. But the people of Nashville love more than just hockey; we love football, too. Speaking of, what about those Titans? It's (hopefully) going to be a good year for our boys. And don't forget the cities love for the local minor league baseball team, the Nashville Sounds. Stay tuned for Nashville soccer.

6. Tourist Spots

Nashville is full of hots spots for tourists, but who says locals can't enjoy them as well? The many hand-painted murals scattered throughout the city serve as the perfect Instagram-worthy posts. And, if you haven't made it your mission to visit some of Nashville's memorials, get to it.

As you can see, there are many reasons to back the thought that Nashville is the ultimate American city, but you already know that, and that's exactly why Nashville needed an appreciation post. Go Preds!
