Restaurants & cafés
J.C. Holdway A wood-fire Southern dining room on Union Avenue from Knoxville's only James Beard-winning kitchen. Everything that touches the hearth — the pork chop, the trout, the cornbread — is the point.
Potchke A Jewish deli on the north end of Gay Street doing Eastern European comfort food with no ironic distance. The lox bialy and the matzo ball soup are the right opening moves.
Trails & outdoors
Ijams Nature Center 318 acres of preserved woods, wetlands, and old quarry along the Tennessee River, five minutes from downtown. The 14 miles of mostly easy trails are how Knoxville families get their kids outside.
Mead's Quarry Lake A flooded marble quarry inside Ijams turned into the city's swimming hole and paddling lake. The water is shockingly blue and the cliffs make for a small-scale Smokies stand-in.
Things to do
Bijou Theatre A 700-seat 1909 theater half a block off Gay Street, the small sibling to the Tennessee with the better acoustics. Songwriters, comics, and chamber music run through here.
Knoxville Museum of Art A free art museum on World's Fair Park with a permanent focus on East Tennessee artists, including the giant Richard Jolley glass installation in the atrium. A 90-minute visit, two hours if the rotating show is strong.
Landmarks & sights
Tennessee Theatre A 1928 Spanish-Moorish movie palace on Gay Street that locals defend with religious zeal. Even without a show on the books, the lobby and Mighty Wurlitzer organ are worth a peek if doors are open.
Sunsphere The 270-foot gold-paneled tower left over from the 1982 World's Fair, more icon than attraction. Ride to the observation deck for the only proper aerial view of downtown and the Smokies beyond.
