Nashville date nights that work with a sitter
Date night ideas in Nashville are easy to find. A plan you can do with a babysitter, and a number you can trust before you text your wife, is not.

A Nashville date night with a babysitter
Book the sitter first, then the table. Leave a note with bedtime, snacks, and your cell. The totals on these pages use Nashville's 9.75% sales tax, a tip, and the sitter. Where a menu price was not on the site this week, the card says so and gives a range instead of a fake receipt.
We write these for dads. If you are the wife making the plan for your husband, the numbers are the same. More dates live on the big Nashville list and in the guides.
