\"Nashville<\/a><\/p>\n

The Nashville Scene<\/a><\/em>‘s 2013 Best of Nashville<\/a><\/em> issue is out,  a monster 236-page accounting from both the readers’ and writers’ perspective on the best people, places and things in our great city.  At NPT, we pride ourselves on being in tune with what’s happening in the city that we serve. We strive to be its mirror. Based on the issue, we’re doing a great job. Many of the places picked by readers and writers have been profiled on Tennessee Crossroads,<\/em><\/a> Volunteer Gardener<\/em><\/a>, Arts Break<\/em><\/a> and our new web series with Under the Guise<\/em><\/a>, You Ought to Know Nashville<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Readers’ poll for best Cajun? That would be Bro’s<\/strong>, profiled most recently on Tennessee Crossroads<\/em> episode 2535.  Best family friendly restaurant? Puckett’s<\/strong>, visited by Crossroads<\/em> in episode 2408. How about writers’ pick for best new restaurant? YOTKN<\/em> visited their choice, Husk<\/strong>, in its very first episode. YOTKN also visited the writers’ picks for best coffeeshop (CREMA<\/strong>) and the reader’s pick for best new bar (The Stone Fox<\/strong>).  On NPT Arts Break<\/strong><\/em>, as part of an initiative collaborating with The Nashville Shakespeare Festival<\/a> and the PBS series “Shakespeare Uncovered,” we did several segments on the NSF’s winter production of “Macbeth,” named by the writers’ as “best Shakespearean spectacle.” Its title actor, Eric Pasto-Crosby<\/strong>, named best actor. There are even connections to our Next Door Neighbors<\/em><\/a> series. Remziya Suleyman<\/strong>, named by the writers’ as Best Activist, is in our “Little Kurdistan, USA” episode.<\/p>\n

There are so many more examples of this, we thought we might give it a shot and try and list them all, and embed a few videos for you to watch along the way. Thanks to Erin McInnis<\/strong> in the Tennessee Crossroads<\/em> department for helping us cull through the issue.<\/p>\n

Enjoy the NPT edition of the Nashville Scene<\/em>‘s Best of Nashville 2013. Consider it your video companion. And be sure to get your copy of the Scene<\/em> or read it online<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
