Knoxville, TennesseeKnoxville, Tennessee was recently named one of Trip Advisor's "Places on the Rise" and I couldn't agree more. Located on the Tennessee River in eastern Tennessee, Knoxville offers historical tours, outdoor beauty, festivals, fine food, and award-winning theater. History buffs will not be bored -- The Market Square downtown district has 19th-century buildings, shops and restaurants and James White’s Fort includes Knoxville's first permanent building, a reconstructed 1786 log cabin.

where to eat
When you find yourself hungry in Knoxville, don't worry! You have a huge selection of excellent restaurants to explore. For lunch I recommend Nick & J's burgers. For dinner, I highly recommend Brazeiros, an authentic Brazilian steakhouse. If you're in the mood for lighter fare, then go to The French Market for crepes and truffle fries.
