This is a MUST TRY for foodies -- many Louisvillians consider it to be the best (or at least one of the top 3) restaurants in Louisville. Honestly, everything there is fabulous, but I especially recommend the Salbutes appetizer. Reservations aren't required but are definitely a good idea on weekends and/or for larger groups. (Over Derby, reserve far ahead of time.)

A Germantown Favorite, especially for meat-eaters. If you're not sure whether or not you like German food, you definitely will after eating here! (However, if you're both gluten-free and vegetarian, there won't be much on the menu for you.) And it's within easy walking distance of my house.

Drinks & Nightlife
An adorable, old-timey, neighborhood-y, but also funky and fun bar within close walking distance. It's my favorite drink spot in Louisville. It's pretty chill on weeknights but busy on weekends.

This is a hidden gem! Literally, you have to know it's there because the sign is tiny and really hard to see unless you're standing right in front of it. It has a speak-easy feel, super-dark and atmospheric inside, very comfortable seating and amazing cocktails. This is the perfect date spot. Not good for large groups, as it's very small inside.

This is an amazing tribute to Muhammad Ali that the whole family can easily enjoy. Even if you're not already a fan of the man, it's very worth checking out.
