We LOVE Lockeland - the chef has been nominated for James Beard award a handful of times. Call for reservations or be like us: chance it for two seats at the bar. Great cocktail and wine/whiskey list - can't go wrong with anything on the menu (but our favorites are the empanadas, pork + shrimp dumplings and "lobstah" tacos).

DELICIOUS grass-fed burgers (they use beef from Porter Road Butcher around the corner), and the handcut fries are to-die-for. We get Riverside for takeout at least once a week -- get extra horseradish ranch for dipping!
I hear they also have breakfast sandwiches in the morning, but haven't had the pleasure of trying it yet.

A Charleston original that just opened a new outpost in East Nashville. We like the unique sharing menu - may not be the best fit for your "meat and potatoes"/simple eaters. Reservations via OpenTable. We also like to have cocktails and a snack or two (the whipped feta and the Brussels sprouts are LEGIT) at the generous bar.

The most hipster coffee shop outside of Dumbo, Brooklyn happens to be located in the heart of East Nashville. Seriously, though, they serve great pour-over and their breakfast and lunch items are delish.
A good working/meeting spot during the week, but expect lines on the weekend.

This was a laundromat and cafe that closed last year, but has reopened with delicious pizza and pasta. Walkable -- right around the corner -- from The Mod Cottage. Our mouth is watering over the chicken gorgonzola and classic spaghetti and meatballs.

Total dive, in the best way possible. Think beer and billiards, though somehow they've got a bottle of Pappy at the top of the bar. Non-smoking with pool, foosball, darts, an award-winning jukebox, and a nice deck out back.

Aldi is a small, "not-fancy" grocery store that is a neighborhood favorite of ours. You'll find basic produce, dairy, meat and snacks. The secret has gotten out! They do have "rules:"
-Bring your own bags (they have paper + plastic there you can purchase)
-Bring a quarter to put in the cart to take inside (as a deposit - you'll get it back)
-They used to only take debit card, but I believe they'll accept credit now
