Louisville, Kentucky was founded in 1778 at the falls of the Ohio River as the staging area for George Rogers Clark’s Revolutionary War campaign against the British in Vincennes. The little village...

I am among those troubled Gen X-ers who often times mutters the phrase "There is nothing to do!" I get bored fairly easily, it's true. On the days and nights that I feel particularly bored and...

Pros: Great restaurants, great college b-ball, the DERBY!
Cons: Hot & humid in July

Louisville, Kentucky is first and foremost, home of the Kentucky Derby, the greatest two minutes in sports. For those of you who don’t already know, the Kentucky Derby is the premier horse race in the world, and it’s always run on the first...

Pros: Mexican Buffet
Cons: Not 24 Hour Mexican Buffet

If Tex-Mex is your style, you'll enjoy Tumbleweed Restaurants. This is
another Louisville based restaurant that is hitting the big time.

The food is very good, well prepared and served by an unusually friendly
staff. The staff,...

Pros: Excellent filets, side dishes, great wine selection
Cons: price is a little high, but well worth it

I am sure it is easy to say this since I am from Louisville and have a rather biased opinion. Most people have heard of Ruth Chris' Steakhouse. We finally have a Ruth's here in Louisville so I saved up, took a second mortgage and went to try out the...

Pros: small town feel with big city convenience. Unique, beautiful, and entertaining
Cons: unpredictable weather

I was born in Louisville, Kentucky twenty seven years ago and have lived here since. When you spend that much time in one city it is very easy to overlook things that visitors might find interesting. I was surprised to find that it was fairly...

Pros: Small city with quite a few places that will make you forget you're in the city.
Cons: It's my hometown. Of course, there are no cons.

Pros: great BBQ
Cons: too quiet for some?

Louisville is a completely underrated city and a great place to live. It is very beautiful and green --it has one of the highest percentage of parks in the country. (Several of the parks were designed by Olmstead.) I highly recommend going to Iroquois...

Pros: Yummy
Cons: None

Well you finally decided to come to Louisville, and you wake to another beautiful Kentucky Day. Now where to eat a hearty breakfast to start the day off right? Well, you can't go wrong with either of these restaurants, definitely the two places to eat...

Cons: none at all

In 1870, five years before the first Kentucky Derby was run at Churchill Downs, a combination delicatessen and Livery Stable opened at the corner of Fifth and Breckenridge Streets. For the next thirty years the restaurant's proximity to city hall, the...

Pros: Taste, Ambience, and Service at the Oakroom
Cons: Pricey

Back from our Romantic Celebration in Louisville - I was ready
to get on the scale. To my surprise I hadn't gained 5 pounds.
Only luck, I assure you because we were wined and dined in style.
But, just to be sure I'm sipping a slim-fast...

Pros: Many things to experience
Cons: Lots of traffic

I have lived in Louisville all my life. I love it here! We have so many things to do. We have several museums, many different top performing arts, and of course Churchill Downs. My favorite is that it is horse friendly. We have parks to ride in and...

Pros: Fun, frolic and Louisville
Cons: It's only two weeks

When it comes to geography, I used to suffer from Native Nu Yawka syndrome. There's New York City, on the other coast is Los Angeles, and in between, is, well, the rest of the country. So twelve years ago, when my husband announced that he had a job...

Pros: Historic, fun, great food, and friendly staff
Cons: none at all

Jimmy Buffett and Parrotheads everywhere owe Carl Kaelin a huge debt, without him Buffett's famous song "Cheeseburger in Paradise" would have been something like "Ham and Cheese on Rye in Paradise". I doubt it would have been a hit or become a...

Pros: Nice place to visit, big parks
Cons: None

My wife took me to Louisville for my birthday a
few weeks ago. I had heard about the Louisville
slugger museum for years but had never been
there. I am a big baseball fan...
