Nashville’s Best Bites, Banned Books, and Gun Safety Concerns

The City Cast Nashville team is here to round up the week’s news with special guest Khalil Ekulona, host of This Is Nashville. This week, we're diving into which Nashville restaurants made the New York Times Best Restaurant List, discussing Banned Books Week, and exploring gun safety following recent tragic events. Plus, we wrap up with a fun round of 'Real or Fake TN Headlines'! And stick around after the roundup for our Don’t Go Gently tip for the weekend, presented by our exclusive launch sponsor, Tecovas. It’s time for the Nashville Greek Festival all weekend long! Starting today through Sunday, you can indulge in traditional Greek dishes like spanakopita and gyros, or grab sweet treats like baklava and kourabiedes to go from the pastry shop. Enjoy Greek music and dance performances, shopping at various gift stands, educational tours, and lectures at the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church (4905 Franklin Pike). Don’t go gently, go in Tecovas! The deadline to register to vote for November’s Federal and State election is Oct. 7. Register, check your status, or update your information at govotetn.com.
