The Belmont area of Nashville surrounds Belmont University and is home to some of the hippest and trendiest establishments in Nashville. Here you will find Music Row, the nickname given to 16th avenue which is home to an array of music business such as Sony Music Publishing and Gaylord Entertainment.
Along Belmont Boulevard, you can find trendy restaurants and coffee shops. A local favorite is Bongo Java where you can sip on coffee, eat delicious food, and listen to live music. Bongo Java became world famous in December of 1996 when it discovered a cinnamon bun that many agreed looked like Mother Teresa. Just down the street from this coffee house, is a favorite eclectic restaurant among students and businesspeople known as PM. PM offers a wide range of food including sushi, bistro sandwiches, and pasta dishes with an Asian flare.
