Day 2 9 a.m. Refuel from last night’s shenanigans and start your morning with another perfect cup of coffee or tea at Fido. The upscale coffeehouse and restaurant serves locally grown foods and buys more regionally produced food than any other restaurant in Nashville. *Local tip: The Local Latte and Bubba Scramble are highly recommended. 10 a.m. Time for a little trip to Greece! The Parthenon in Nashville is a full-scale replica of the one in Athens and sits in the heart of Centennial Park. It’s the perfect place to take a morning break, and they often have pop-up shops, craft fairs and live music. Some of the local favorites are the Big Band Dances on Saturday and Shakespeare in the Park during the summer months. 12 p.m. A walk in the park can certainly work up an appetite, so head on back to 12th Avenue South. The Flipside is known for their retro décor, but the tater tot nachos aren’t too shabby, either. After lunch, venture across the street to Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams. Known for their innovative gourmet flavors, it’s the perfect place to grab dessert. With flavors that range from salted peanut butter to brambleberry crisp, you can’t go wrong. 3 p.m. Hillsboro Village, a local favorite section of 12th Avenue South, is the best place for afternoon shopping. From book stores to boutiques, there’s something for everyone. While you’re out, snap a pic by the dragon mural just across from the Belcourt Theatre; it’s the perfect background for your Insta #ootd. [72] Alice April 2016 The Parthenon Acme Feed & Seed 5 p.m. After a nap and an outfit change, head down Lower Broadway toward the Riverfront for an evening at Acme Feed & Seed, a historic farm store turned restaurant and bar. Similar to Pinewood Social, Acme thrives off the social scene. The first floor houses live music and communal tables. Try the Acme Hot Chicken Sandwich; hot chicken is a Nashville original. Throughout the night, make sure you explore the other floors including a sushi bar lounge, vintage arcade games, photo booth, and the rooftop bar. 8 p.m. Before you kiss Nashville goodbye, catch a ride on the Nashville Pedal Tavern. The world famous Pedal Tavern is a 2-hour, 15-person, bicycle-powered bar crawl on wheels. Enjoy the great exclusive drink specials at all the great bars and restaurants on your route, or feel free to BYOB! Dragon mural in Hillsboro Village
LIFESTYLE UA Alumni Q & A: India Williams By Becca Murdoch Tuscaloosa native and The University of Alabama alumna, India Williams, is the picture of a successful professional woman. After finishing her undergraduate and law degree from the university, she was ready to pursue her career goals. As an associate at Sidley law firm in Chicago and creator of her own nail polish line called Rooted Woman, Williams seems to just be getting started. What life experiences have influenced the path that you’re on today? I would definitely say my parents. I was raised in Tuscaloosa, but my dad’s originally from New York. I spent summers in New York, and we traveled a lot while I was growing up. It gave me a larger worldview beyond my community in Tuscaloosa. When I was growing up, Tuscaloosa was actually classified as a rural area. That was before Mercedes-Benz and all that industry that’s now there. Tuscaloosa was really a more quiet and sleepy town, so being able to see beyond that was really cool. The world was my oyster, so I could dream really big. Looking back at your undergraduate years in college, what advice would you give to your younger self? Take your time. I know we have the finish-in-four campaign, and that’s awesome, but don’t rush it. I know it sounds a little sentimental, but really take your time. There’s so much time to work and to do other things, so really allow the undergraduate experience to sink in. I finished in three years, and if I could go back, I would stay back an extra year, or maybe even an extra year and a half. There’s so much you can learn, and you get to grow a lot as a person. It really prepares you for your graduate school or going into whatever your professional location is. I think really making the most of that time [is the advice I would give]. How have previous work or mentorship experiences impacted your career decisions? I worked in my parents’ business. Growing up in a business environment really geared me to have an entrepreneurial spirit. Not too long ago, I started a business called Rooted Woman; it’s a nail polish company that’s really centered around encouraging high-achieving women to slow down and to take time for themselves. As for mentorship, my dad, when I was growing up, had an insurance agency next to Judge England’s office. I grew up on Attorney Row downtown, which is what they called it, so I was exposed to the legal profession at an early age. That definitely encouraged and empowered me to see that as an option. What have been the most challenging and rewarding aspects of your job? The most challenging part has been being on call 24/7, which causes you to sacrifice sleep and family when you’re with clients. I actually got really sick, and I had to take some time off. I took off personally and professionally, and that gave me the courage to start Rooted Woman. So I think one of the most rewarding parts of my job is being able to use my skills as a lawyer and also get to express myself from an entrepreneurial standpoint, which is to really Alice April 2016 [73]
