The west end( Vanderbilt )area is nice and its also a cheap cab to downtown if your looking to do some sight seeing.

My recollection from those trips is that right off of campus is a nice, somewhat quirky neighborhood with some very interesting shops, restaurants, etc. Though it's been a while, so things may have changed.
I also remember that Vanderbilt coeds walking around the area provided some very nice eye candy... :-)
