The Nashville Book of Dates

Nashville and the people who love her now get a highly curated and stylish guidebook of more than 125 outings in and around Nashville to inspire romance and adventure.

This third entry in the Book of Dates series reveals secret spots, beloved locales, and unexpected destinations in the land of Dollywood.

Creative, cheeky, and curated with experiences you can’t find anywhere else, The Nashville Book of Dates is the ultimate encyclopedia of cool places for Nashvillians (and visitors). It covers everything from the cozy, the dazzling, and the downright kitsch for your special sweetie, whether it’s one-hour dates at the hippest restaurants downtown to weekend trips to take in Tennessee’s natural splendor.

In-the-know authors and tastemakers Eden Dawn and Ashod Simonian will reveal where the cool and quirky go, have a bead on the obscure and fascinating, and are motivating enough to prompt even the most dedicated homebody to head out the door. Discover (or rediscover) this highly curated--possibly even ungoogleable--resource and armchair read for local couples (and singles with friends) interested in learning about off-the-beaten-path things to do, see, and taste.

EDEN DAWN is a Guinness World Record holder, an award-winning journalist, a veteran stylist for bands and fashion editorials, and a sequin-wearing lady with a microphone known as a ＂Fun Expert.＂

Together Eden and Ashod first began publishing the Book of Dates series in 2021 as a natural extension of their adventurous, overextended lifestyles. They live in a slightly creaky one-hundred-year-old house with their two cats, Daphne and Foxglove, surrounded by plants.

ASHOD SIMONIAN is a creative director and cofounder of Imaginary Authors, a perfume house, and author of Real Fun, a book of photography and stories documenting his decade spent touring the world in various indie rock bands.
