The kind of trip this is
This is a city weekend built around live music, food and late nights. It suits a group of friends or a couple who like to stay out, with bands playing from noon in the Broadway honky-tonks and songwriter rounds after dark. The pace is quick. You get two nights and early flights both ways, so plan full days on Friday and Saturday and a short Sunday.
