All of the food here is beautiful and delicious, but our favorites are the turkey sandwich and the pepperoni pizza. And you'll be just as pleased with any soup of the day and dessert that's offered.

Craft beers from all over the world plus awesome food and the best soundtrack I've ever heard. If you sit in the choir loft, you'll think you're in a European pub. Burgers are made from humanely raised and butchered cows -- and they're excellent. But we usually split an order of shiitake mushroom sliders and frites.

The largest of the Olmstead parks in Louisville. If you're looking for a treat after a walk in the park, stop at Sister Bean's Coffee Shop across from the park and try the locally made Louisville Creamery ice cream. In the fall, don't miss the Jack O'Lantern Spectacular, a 1/4-mile walking trail through the forest at night lit be 5,000 carved pumpkins! Proceeds benefit the local parks system.
