"On our final morning in Knoxville, we had several options for breakfast—Makers donuts and Status Dough being two worthy contenders (and spots you absolutely must try if you have a sweet tooth), in addition to my regular, tried-and-true haunt, Tomato Head—but I can never resist the crepes at French Market, which has relocated from Gay Street to the other side of the square and, ultimately, won out in a battle of the breakfast foods. I still don’t regret that decision one bit!"

"Make a pit stop at The French Market Creperie for a morning treat and a cup of joe to fuel up for the adventures ahead. Just a block away from Market Square and diagonal to the East Tennessee History Center, it’s a great place to start the day with some caffeine and pleasant conversation with your barista. And if you like the neighborhood already, that’s greater than great since you’ll be looping back around to it later in the day."

"An hour northwest of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Knoxville offers a good mix of the old guard and the new upstarts. Bistro at the Bijou is like a bridge between them: It’s a swanky haven in one of the city’s most historic buildings, located next door to the ornate Bijou Theatre. The restaurant feels sophisticated and regal, thanks largely to the building’s Renaissance-style architecture, stained glass windows, and art that hangs in the dining room."

"Lots of wonderful items to choose here from this downtown staple since 1980. Start with flash fried brussels sprouts or white truffle fries. Their fall/winter menu features butternut squash ravioli, curried vegetable bowl, hoppin’ john, and sides like roasted beets and collard greens with hot pepper vinegar."

"Built in the 1920s, the Tennessee Theatre was once an old cinema, but today, it’s something that really shines – a restored theater with actors, lights and bows at the end. As it’s very popular and offers a varied run of plays, make sure you book your tickets online; otherwise, you might be disappointed at the door. One of the prettiest buildings in Knoxville, it’s worth visiting for its interiors alone."

"Check out one of Knoxville’s famed theaters, which host movies, symphonies, stage plays, operas, and more contemporary musical performances. The beautifully restored Tennessee Theatre is one of the best, as it’s home to the Knoxville Symphony and opera company and shows classic movies. It was built in 1928 and was considered Knoxville’s first skyscraper."

"The Iris Theater at the Gatlinburg Space Needle is another wonderful destination for live entertainment in Gatlinburg. The Iris is currently hosting Impossibilities: An Evening of Magic, Mindreading, and Mayhem."
