Join us for our popular “Global Eats” excursion through a part of Music City that most tourists, and even most locals, don’t get to see! This is an off the beaten path food tour highlighting international cuisines and our immigrant community! We’ll meet at Plaza Mariachi, located in the heart of Nashville’s International Corridor, Nolensville Pike. From there experienced food guide Anas Saba will lead the group to a variety of savory and sweet stops, including the Little Kurdistan area, the hub of Nashville’s Kurdish community. Cuisines we try may include Uzbek, Egyptian, Venezuelan, Honduran, Mexican, and more!
Locations subject to change.
