The Laughing Man, believed it was on Division Street, just off of West
End Avenue.  This is a downtown rest.  probably about 15 minutes
(because of the traffic - maybe 20) from the Opryland Hotel.  It was a
small, cozy place with very reasonable prices.  I hope that it's still
there and is as enjoyable to you and it was for me.  My favorite dish
was steamed vegetables on rice.  Really good stuff..."
