Woodland Wine Merchant is the enjoyable place to shop for wine in East Nashville.  There are other places to go nearby, but you have to strengthen yourself first to go inside.

This place puts pricetags tied with threads on the bottles, and includes descriptions of the wine and vineyard for the bottles.

(technically, it's just "Kroger", not "Kroger's")

While a regional chain, I wanted to give recognition to the Eastland Kroger because it is staple to East Nashville living.

Our Kroger's is also one of the most diverse grocery stores in the nation.  I see black, white; rich, poor; young, old in there every visit.

Hours: 7am - 11pm 7 days a week

Address: 711 Gallatin (at Eastland)

The Turnip Truck sells organic foods, sometimes local (much of the produce is region labeled).

Address: 970 Woodland Street

The atmosphere, design, and display are awesome.

From May-ish to October-ish, they support the East Nashville Farmer's Market on Wednesday afternoons.

Before Eastside Cycles, the closest bike stores were either in West End, Hendersonville or Opry Mills.  It's great to have one in the neighborhood.

East Nashville is very bikable.  With a grid of streets, and limited connections to other parts of town, the streets are very bike-friendly.  Shelby bottoms also provides 5 miles of paved path for neighborhood long-rides.

Products/Services:  They sell bikes, rent bikes, fix bikes, and talk about bikes.

Address: 1012 Woodland St.

Bill Martin's is an 'old school' neighborhood grocer.  It carries all the basics and has the feel of Piggly Wiggly, IGA, or the old A&P.
