Whether you’ve been coveting a new pair of booties or want to get a jump on your holiday shopping, the Junior League has the means to help. Their new Shop Save Support discount card costs $40, and from October 24 through November 8, it can be used to secure a 20 percent discount at dozens of local merchants. From The Beveled Edge and The Blowout Co. to Private Edition and Two Old Hippies, the list of local partners is long, varied, and likely full of the places you already frequent. Plus, the funds raised from the card will go toward the Junior League’s mission of addressing issues of literacy, human trafficking, and childhood obesity.

(theeastside.social) Bobby Braddock Book Signing As the only living country songwriter to score number ones in five different decades, it’s no surprise that Country Music Hall of Fame member Bobby Braddock had enough material for a second memoir.

For a city built on creative collaborations, there is now a luxurious way to celebrate them. Swiss watchmaker Raymond Weil has partnered with local guitar manufacturer Gibson to craft a limited edition Nashville timepiece. The collaboration was inspired by the Gibson SG Standard—its six grooves symbolize the strings of the instrument while the Gibson logo sits at 12 o’clock. Called the Nabucco, the inner-workings of the watch include a chronograph self-winding mechanism, and the exterior boasts 27 jewels and a sapphire crystal case backing. Each piece is numbered (one through 10) and comes with a special edition watch box—complete with a Gibson guitar pick, of course.

The problem: You want to make it to a game but don’t feel like making the drive to your favorite SEC town. The solution: Spring for a chartered flight instead. Andrew Bettis has been transporting both business and leisure clients all over the United States and the Caribbean since founding AB Jets in 1999; he’s also discovered a niche with the game day crowd. Private charters on Bettis’ fleet of eight jets—each of which holds six to eight passengers—can prove to be a relatively hassle-free way to get to smaller towns not well connected to major airports, cutting a four-hour drive down to 45 minutes or less in the air. Not to mention, passengers are screened in advance, allowing them to arrive at the jet just moments before departure and…

| FIRST BITE SPEAKEASY FIRST BITE PATIO For years, Corrado Savarino’s eponymous deli/bakery on Bel-court Avenue has been a favorite spot for friends to spend a long lunch munching on elaborate Italian sandwiches and enjoying authentic breads and pastries from Savarino’s oven. Recently, Savarino closed the bakery portion of the business, explaining that he’s “getting too old to make everybody else’s bread.” The restaurant is in the middle of a transformation into more of a full-service eatery—and in the meantime, he’s converted the second floor into an inviting new speakeasy-like lounge called Amari, named after the Italian herbal liqueur. There’s no password or secret knock required, but if you tell the host where you’re headed, what looks like an innocuous bookshelf will be folded back to reveal a hidden staircase.…

| DRINKS HARVEST AT HOMESTEAD MANOR 4683 Columbia Pk., Thompson’s Station 615-538-6113 homesteadmanor.com What to Order: Butter-roasted mushrooms, $12 Citrus salad, $7.50 (half portion) Baked cannelloni, $18 8-ounce filet, $44 Gelato, $6 I f you spend a lot of time reading food-related media, maybe you’ve noticed that the term farm-to-table has officially jumped the shark. Overused and even exploited (e.g., fast food joints showing images of farms in their commercials), it’s a phrase that hardly holds any weight these days. Unless, that is, you’re talking about a restaurant with its own farm, like Harvest at Homestead Manor, which was developed by A. Marshall Family Foods Inc., the team behind the Puckett’s empire. The Homestead estate, built in 1819 and located just south of Franklin in Thompson’s Station, has a long…

Age: 21 Coast to coast: Peeples grew up in Lake Mary, a suburb of Orlando, and was a classically trained vocalist for 11 years—though she admittedly was more focused on acting. She booked her first gig at the age of 13 (in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective Jr.) and stayed at her private school in Florida through graduation. Peeples moved to L.A. at 18 to pursue her dreams and, after a year, got the call for a part on Nashville, which brought her to Music City. In her downtime, she’s been writing music of her own and hopes to release an album in 2016. Studying up: Considering she wasn’t even alive when Jem originally aired, Peeples had some catching up to do—i.e., watching the entire series on Netflixbefore slipping into Jerrica’s…

Adrenaline junkies, thrill-seekers, and fitness gurus: It’s time to head south. The new Soar Adventure Tower recently landed in Franklin and is the first full-size aerial adventure park in the United States. At 50 feet tall, the 10,000-square-foot play area has more than 120 climbing elements. “We brought Soar Adventure Tower to this market because we feel the community needed and would embrace a destination spot that encourages a healthy physical lifestyle in an engaging environment that is ideal for all ages,” says owner Kevin Vanderkolk. The adventure park offers elements that “range in difficulty that mentally and physically challenge both adults and kids,” he adds. “[It] allows you to take risks and overcome obstacles in a safe and controlled environment.” Being that it’s located so close to Music City,…

NASHVILLE SIGHT SEER These small pamphlets are McCloud’s version of quirky visitor guides. Local writers and illustrators team up to deliver hand-printed doses of interesting tidbits about our city. The Nashville Tree Climber’s Guide, for example, offers the best climbing trees in town; there are also guides to urban fishing holes and the city’s top benches. BRYCE BUCKS These individually printed “bucks” and “coins” are yet another social and artistic experiment in which McCloud attempts to understand how value is created. The bucks themselves can be purchased with U.S. dollars or, better yet, earned by either giving away a secret or doing a good deed. They can then be used to trade for other goods, such as a specific type of haircut at Parlor & Juke, a mystery drink at…

For three records, Andrew Ripp has been controlled by fear. “As a musician, you put your heart into a piece of music that you are promoting as you: It’s your heart, your name, your face,” he says. “And then you put it out there and people can do whatever they want with it.” With each release, the singer-songwriter found himself increasingly unable to let go of stats, sales, and reviews—and the process was nearly crippling him. His life wasn’t always this panic-ridden. Born and raised outside of Chicago, Ripp was a jock whose musical talents lay dormant until he was a teen. Immediately after high school, Ripp headed for Los Angeles and dabbled in both songwriting and community college. In 2004, he started cowriting with Ryan Cabrera—the Nick Jonas of…

It’s no secret that Nashville is a popular stop for a weekend getaway. What’s more difficult to find is a way to experience the city through the lens of a local. That’s where Dani Dubetz and her vision for cultivating a true sense of Nashville come into play, and October marks the one-year anniversary of Music City Loft’s grand opening. “We are delivering the authentic Nashville experience,” says Dubetz. “You get to feel like a local when you’re staying with us.” Walk through the doors of the sleek vacation rentals, and there’s an immediate sense of home. Exposed brick, works by local artists, pristine hardwood floors, and an upscale feel give the place a cozy yet unique air. The lofts sit in the heart of downtown and offer a view…

Few retailers in the country can boast 160 years of nonstop service. But the milestone comes naturally to Levy’s, a fifth-generation clothing store in the heart of Green Hills. “We’re not about fast fashion,” says David Levy, who currently helms the family business. “Rather, we appreciate the emotional connection that our customers feel when they’re wearing properly fitting attire.” Having delivered on-trend styles for generations of Nashvillians, Levy says his family “respects the past and embraces the future.” Raise a glass to the local institution on October 29, from 5 to 9 p.m., during an in-store benefit for Second Harvest Food Bank. (Levy’s, 3900 Hillsboro Pk., Ste. 36, 615-383-2800; levysclothes.com) —E.B.M.…

Looking for more of Nashville’s Most Beautiful People? We found them at the office of Dr. Kent White’s Center for Advanced Dentistry! We sat down with Dr. White to gain his perspective on what he hears most from his patients when they first find him and realize he is the Nashville expert on smile transformations. “I would have to say the most common thing people share with me is that they’ve lost their desire to smile. They look in the mirror and who they see does not reflect the person they are on the inside. It’s not about smile makeovers. It’s not about veneers and crowns and cosmetics. It’s about restoring people to their natural and individual beauty in order for their countenance to truly show who they are. And…

When Masaya & Co. cofounder and Nashville native Aram Terry traveled to Nicaragua with the Peace Corps in 2002, he learned about the practice of tree farming. He was inspired by the local sustainable businesses that were making money by growing trees on degraded pastureland, so he decided to try it for himself. “We started planting trees and processing sustainably sourced lumber, which eventually led to furniture design and manufacturing,” he explains. He joined forces with Nicaraguan anthropologist Abril Zepeda, who grew up in the artisan town of Masaya. “She had always wanted to use the handcrafted talents of her hometown, add in creativity and new design ideas to make products that really stand out, and personify the culture,” Terry says. The partnership resulted in Masaya & Co., a Nicaragua-based…

Nashville’s culinary scene has gotten plenty of attention lately—but no one has captured the zeitgeist quite as lovingly as local food writer Jennifer Justus does in her new book, Nashville Eats: Hot Chicken, Buttermilk Biscuits, and 100 More Southern Recipes from Music City (Stewart, Tabori & Chang), out this month. Packed with well-researched recipes that Justus either developed herself or collected and adapted from in-the-know locals, it’s a love letter to Music City written in the form of simple recipes that are made for home cooks. For this dish of beer-braised pork, Justus turned to the pros. “Pork in general has such an important role in our food heritage in Tennessee, so I wanted to honor that,” she says. “I talked at length on this topic with people like Tandy…

GROUNDS 2 GIVE Did you know that coffee is the second most traded commodity in the world? That bit of knowledge inspired Karen Goodlow to start Grounds 2 Give as a viable means to help those in need. She sources quality beans worldwide and has them roasted locally in small batches. When you buy a bag of G2G’s Ethiopian Sidamo or Sumatra Mandheling, a percentage of your purchase benefits Project Connect Nashville, a nonprofit that works the front lines of our community, providing all levels of aid to impoverished individuals and families. This fall, once renovations are complete, Grounds 2 Give will have a permanent home with a retail store on Gallatin Avenue—but in the meantime, you can also find their beans at spots like Porter Road Butcher, Mitchell’s Deli,…
