The tour begins in the hush before dinner at Old Gilman Grill, where the city’s brick streets and neon signs sharpen into appetite. Guides lead a small group through West Village’s changing storefronts — past a rooftop view that frames the Tennessee River and the sandstone bluffs that edge the city — stopping to sample chef-driven plates that tell Chattanooga’s recent culinary story.
