Posted May 17, 2018 Ok y’all, I’m headed out on the road EARLY Saturday morning. I’m wondering if anyone has any cool apps for hotels, fun sites to see, etc. I have gas buddy, but if you know of a better one let me know. I have roadside service through USAA and Infiniti so I don’t need that. OH AND give me tips for food in Nashville! PM’s WELCOME 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 17, 2018 As a travelling foodie, I use the web site: Eater. I also get good leads from searching: "James Beard Foundation (and then whatever city I'm heading to)". YELP and Open Table haven't been of much help in the last decade. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After that I’m going to be 6 hours away. So between Denver and Nashville 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 17, 2018 Roadside America lists all the interesting, or downright wacky stuff you can see along you path. It shows you everything from natural landmarks to the world's biggest ball of yarn. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 17, 2018 My first choice is is Trip Advisor. Type in Trip Advisor, the town, then restaurants -hotels - things to do-attractions, etc. The reviews are a good indication of the restaurant or hotel. Free. Another app costing ~ $10.00 is All Stays. There is an app just for motels and restaurants. Another for campgrounds, etc. Select which app is best for what you plan to do. This app is really good for long distance planning. Happy Travels! Quote 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 18, 2018 As a road warrior for many, many years, when I check into a hotel, I will ask the clerks where they recommend I eat. If they tell me a restaurant chain or the hotel restaurant, I tell them I would prefer to eat where they would go by themselves or with family....tell me a locally owned place to eat. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 18, 2018 You’re probably not going to be driving through Memphis on the way, but if you are, that’s where some of the best barbecue rest in the country are located. Personally, I’d go out of my way for that! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 18, 2018 Airbnb, Google reviews, Priceline, Nebraska i80 is better than Kansas but ok if u just plan to keep going, otherwise grab a Runza, visit Kearney (the big bridge over i80), maybe Mahoney State Park, ... Be safe, be a leader, stay healthy!! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 18, 2018 Well, crap sounds like you'll be going through Kansas. You can see the biggest ball of yarn and the 3 legged cow. hahaha That being said, they don't have much to do there, but watch for speeders. There is an app called Waze that reports speed traps, road stuff etc. Have a good trip. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally, I’d go out of my way for that! Best food is Off Third, Winchester and Getwell, Park has good places by the College in Memphis. Nashville You gotta try Mas Tacos Porfavor or Arnold Country Kitchen. Yummy Southern Eats and Mexican. The Patterson house and Martins BBQ All have been On T.V. They won't dissapoint... To get to Nashville you will have pass Through Memphis off the 240(40) from the 55, UNLESS you are going through STL towards Indiana then you will be about 5.5 hrs North taking a Long drop South.. All depends where you wanna get off the 70 East.. There is A MANDATORY TOLL from Topeka to KCK. $3 depending on Axles. It is about 50 miles and A speed traps, be safe Lady. Have fun and Enjoy!!! 💋💗💋💗💋 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
