We went to the West Village area of town to celebrate our my Irish heritage with dinner at Old Gilman Grill, street vendors and live music, and dessert and cocktails overlooking the city at Alchemy bar in the Westin hotel. Top o’ the evenin’ to all!

The Westin hotel is housed in the former Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee “gold building,” which I remember passing on the highway as a child.
