New York to Nashville... a visit from the boys

Moving away from family and friends was the toughest part about our relocation to Nashville. But, as many people often say when a friend moves to a new city, “Well, it just gives me a new place to visit.” This past weekend, some of Jeff’s New York buddies made the trip down to Nashville for a weekend of catching up and throwing a few back.

Ira, Ken, Mike, Nick and Vinny arrived on Friday afternoon and we spent most of the night downtown at the honky tonks on Lower Broadway (with a stop at Jack’s BBQ, of course). Saturday started with a brunch at our condo (great work, Jenn!), before heading to The Flying Saucer for an afternoon of brewskis and college football. Thanks to the Red Door on Division St. for the 2-for-1 Stoli-o shots en route to the Vandy-Georgia game. The Commodores lead 17-7 at halftime and almost pulled off the upset before fumbling late in the game and losing by a field goal (20-17). While it was easy to blame the loss on the fumble and lack of offense in the 2nd half, one should not overlook the “Nocerino Shirt Factor.” Before buying (and wearing) his Vandy t-shirt…17 points and a ton of momentum. After putting the shirt on…nothing but donuts. Hmmmmmm…

After the game, we hit the Tin Roof on Demonbreun St., before making the unwise call to visit White Castle at 2am. All we can say is, next time, go with the Golden Arches (am I right Mike, Nick and Vin?). Thanks for a great weekend, boys! It was great to show you around Nashville a bit (there actually is a LOT more to see) and hope to see you back down here soon for Round 2 next year! Titans game? Preds game?
