Berries tend to be some of the biggest disappointments in terms of longevity. They're fresh and beautiful when you buy them but rotting and heading to the garbage, sometimes as soon as the very next day! And with the pints being as pricey as they are, this egregious waste is made all the worse. Trying to decipher the best method for storage to get the maximum amount of time possible with your berries can be maddening.

Substrate is where you go for a classic plate with bacon and eggs, or just a really good breakfast sandwich. The biscuits are buttery with crispy bits on the outside and the coffee is potent—perfect for the Belmont students trying to keep their eyes open. The light and airy space even has a nicely stocked selection of non-alcoholic wine, canned cocktails, and mixers to peruse while you wait for your food.

Fans of pony High Lifes, you have a new hive to pledge your allegiance to. Meet Ernie’s, a new speakeasy below Up-Down in East that’s a dive bar for dive bar enthusiasts. It checks all the boxes: pool tables, a serious beer selection, dollar bills plastered about, a complete absence of any sort of cocktail menu, and a chain of Underberg hung proudly near the register.

Is Skinny Dennis the best new bar in Nashville? We think so. There are hot peanuts delivered right away, an old-school Chicago bar rail, real Americana music, and Dr. Pepper, rum, and amaretto drinks that come with a Slim Jim. This actual boot-scootin saloon is a NY transplant, but other than the famous blue bodega cups holding their famous Original Willie’s Frozen Coffee, you’d have no idea it wasn’t born right here in Nashville.

Our solitary complaint about The Yellow Table Café is that we wish they had more tables. Alas, the tiny, adorable yellow and blue cafe only has four inside, but they’re worth the possible tussle for a seat when there’s goat cheese and leek galettes involved. If you can’t find a spot, any of the crepes, like the standout with dark chocolate, and galettes can be enjoyed on the go, wrapped in paper, and eaten on a lovely stroll around Eastland Park.

If there were a food to be dubbed America’s sweetheart, one could make an excellent argument for macaroni and cheese. When done well, the dish is luscious, rich, and as comforting as it comes. If you ask me, it's never a bad idea to have a box stashed in the freezer for whenever the craving strikes or you need dinner in a pinch.

Picture this: It’s a snowy December morning, you’re decked out head to toe in fleece or flannel, maybe a robe or even slippers, and you’re making your way to the coffee machine for a cup of festive joe. The holiday season and flavored coffee creamers—these things go together like the matching family pajamas on your Christmas card. And perhaps there is no flavor more associated with this time of year than peppermint mocha.

One of the greatest pleasures on earth is biting into a freshly baked or fried donut that's still warm. When it comes to buying donuts in a grocery store, whether it's from the store's bakery or prepackaged from a nationwide brand, the “fresh” experience understandably falls by the wayside. But there’s something to be said for the convenience of a grab-and-go breakfast or stash of donuts ready to eat in the pantry. So I set out to find out which pre-made brand gets the seal of approval.

Recommending a creamer can be tricky business. A cup of coffee can be a very personal thing and what someone expects from the cream component can vary greatly from person to person. For example, some prioritize having rich milk flavors, while others find flavor to be key. There's a certain grain of salt that should be taken with reading this ranking. Is the winner the best one? Well, of course, in my opinion, it is.
