A few years ago most locals and visitors to Knoxville avoided this part of town. Now interesting restaurants, clubs, and shops draw people to this quaint area. As in any city center, caution is advised, especially in the evening hours.

I have visited Old City several times over the past few years and can never tell whether it is on the way up as a center of drinking, eating, art and shopping...or down.

Carleo's brings a touch of Cosmopolitan class to Knoxville that would otherwise be unexpected. Elegant lighting, hardwood floors, exposed brick walls, and a...

Unfortuneately myself and my husband decided to go to one of the restaurants in the old city for our anniversary - what a MISTAKE!!! Never again!!!
