2. Grand Ole Evening | 6:30 p.m.
2. 華麗的懷舊之夜|傍晚6點半
The sexy, bourbon-centric bar on the ground floor of Husk — a luminary in the new constellation of ambitious restaurants and a sister to the original in Charleston, S.C. — is a good place to alight for a drink (cocktails start at $9) and snack to start the evening. If they’re on the menu, order the Rappahannock oysters, with green garlic butter, bottarga and preserved lemon ($14), which are served warm and will sate you through a show at the Ryman. The storied auditorium, built in 1892, before the advent of microphones, sells daytime tours, but to get the full effect of the exceptional acoustics, go at night, when a full range of musicians, as disparate as the local hero Vince Gill and the English misanthrope Morrissey, have taken the stage. (Ticket prices vary.)
性感的波旁王朝主題酒吧哈斯克(Husk)位于哈斯克飯店一層。該飯店是雄心勃勃的新餐廳群落中一座奪目的建筑,也是南卡羅萊納州查爾斯頓酒店哈斯克飯店的姐妹店。在這個好地方適合喝杯酒(雞尾酒9美元起),吃點零食,開始一個美好的夜晚。拿來菜單,點一份拉帕漢諾克牡蠣,配上綠色的蒜泥奶酪、腌金槍魚卵和腌檸檬(14美元),上桌時依然熱氣騰騰,你可以一邊大快朵頤,一邊在萊曼禮堂看完整場表演。這座多層的禮堂建造于1892年,當時麥克風還沒問世。雖然有白日游項目,但若想感受更絕妙的音效,最好乘夜游覽。晚上有許多音樂家上臺表演,風格各異,比如本地精英文斯·吉爾(Vince Gill)和英國的厭世家莫里西(Morrissey)。(不同的演出票價差異很大。)
