The city’s coolest art book store is now the city’s coolest incense, sock, body oil, specialty food and art book store. That’s right, The Green Ray has expanded. The new location on Gallatin Pike near the overpass by the Inglewood Kroger is roomier, and features an outdoor area that’s perfect for occasional events, like screenings of French New Wave films and ’90s River Phoenix vehicles. Plus, as always, Green Ray’s Rebecca Moon Cullum carries the best curation of art books in the area, from TBW to Twin Palms to Mast.Â
More Best of Nashville wins: In our Writers’ Choice, The Green Ray has also been named Best Place to Buy a Coffee Table Book (2025) and Best Specialty Bookshop (2022).
