Daniel Roy's Parlour Of Deceptions
Join magician Daniel Roy at the exclusive Salmagundi Club of New York City for an evening of sleight-of-hand, misdirection, and magic. Limited to just 40 guests, this is an intimate experience of wonder. While this is not a kids show and the magic is geared towards adults, the performance is entirely “clean” and appropriate for audience members age 13 years and older.

Hispanic Society of America
Museum filled with paintings by El Greco and Velazquez, as well as many other Hispanic cultural artifacts.
15
What Lifts You Mural
You can find one of the town’s most famous photo ops in The Gulch neighborhood—a pair of intricate white lace wings against a black wall. There's usually a line, so go early in the morning or late in the day for fewer crowds. Try to find the easter eggs that the artist put into the mural: a cowboy hat, guitars, and barbecues to represent Nashville. Explore other street art in Nashville on a mural art tour—you'll see lots of other great sights, with plenty of time for photo ops.
