Summary:  I haven't yet been, but my friend got takeout for a party.  It tasted like normal barbeque (I'm not an expert in barbeque and don't differentiate between qualities well).

I wanted to post a menu photo if it helps

In three words: very, good, sandwiches

Josh says:  I only had one sandwich, but it was great.  Other friends call it their favorite place to eat.  The indoor atmosphere is great, and there's a shared back patio, 'Riverside Village'.

Address: 1402 McGavock Pike

In three words: boston, seafood, sushi

Josh says:  the subtitle is "Boston Seafood House featuring fried seafood, spirits, and a raw oyster bar".  Same owner as Beyond the Edge.  Also has a sushi bar inside.

The inside is like a Bostonion tavern with more windows. The food quality is great, and the presentation of the fried dishes is in a newspaper with brown paper bag format.

Address: 1008 Woodland St

In three words: on tap, late night, smoking

Josh says: Great for lunch.  Loves East Nashville.  Very large selection of beers on tap.  Can be quite smoky on the inside at night, but there's also a patio.  They are open really late too.

Address: 112 S 11th St. (kinda across from Bongo Java)

Shelby bottoms has 5 miles of paved trails through forest, grassland and wetlands that quickly convinces you that you're not in the middle of a major city.

It's located along the eastern edge of East Nashville, next to Shelby Park and has entrances in the Barclay and Inglewood neighborhoods.

It is excellent for walking, biking, and dog-walking.
