Well hey, hope you enjoy your time in Chattanooga!

I recommend Main St Meats for amazing burgers, Niedlovs for great affordable breakfast or lunch, the cat cafe and scooter tours.

Also check out the pinball museum and soda shop next door, both by the aquarium

How dare you neglect to mention Rock City and the Moon Pie General Store?

Ahhh as a native I forget about some of the more touristy options. I don't think I've been to rock city yet!

THE AQUARIUM?

I mean yes I could recommend all the same 4 things everyone does.

I was more trying to share some lesser known favorites. Locals go to the touristy stuff maybe 1 or 2 times in their life and forget until they have kids or something.

Nah, the aquarium is a great way to relax when you're downtown. You're missing out if you only go once or twice and you're doing others a disservice by not mentioning it imo.

That's like getting upset someone recommended some of their favorite local spots to person visiting NYC instead of talking more about the statue of liberty or time square.

What about the Chattanooga Choo Choo?

Oh yeah, the hotel rooms in the trains sound fun, never really stayed there, they do have a Norman Reedus owned restaurant connected to the choochoo now that's pretty good the couple times I went. Pricey though

I dunno man. My only knowledge of Chattanooga is the song. But man I sure love that song.

I was going to but I wasn't sure how many burger restaurants to recommend someone at the same time so I picked my favorite
