This book came out about 6 months or a year after I moved to Nashville. It has been really useful, even though a few new spots have opened up since its publication. I'd recommend it for anyone learning the areas, food neighborhoods, and dining options.
I took a trip after work to the East Nashville Farmer's Market as well. While you are right--it was a little small--it is just getting off the ground. I was pleased to see so many people turn out though. Any time we have more options for good, local food from area producers, I'm all for it. I picked up a little bit of food I'll be cooking with later this week.
For those of us who work in and around Vandy and are often in need of a sugar break in the afternoon, Gigi's is an easy walk and has a plethora options. That said, I usually only eat half – the cupcakes are huge - but that just means I have dessert for after dinner later on.
