Best Smokehouse in town!! Easily one of our favorites. A bit of a "dive," and it's hard to get a table so get there early if possible!

The staff here is SO FRIENDLY and the coffee is amazing! It's usually pretty quiet in the cafe. If you get there early, pop in next door at Nord's Bakery for a famous Bacon Maple Donut!

Instead of cake at our wedding, we ordered 50 dozen Nord's donuts, and now our wedding reception is the stuff of legends. My favs are the french twist and the bacon maple. But get there before 11am or they'll be sold out!! Stop by Sunergos Coffee next door for a life-changing latte.

Literally less than two blocks away, you can't go wrong with Scarlet's delicious treats! They also have some coffee items. They do have more limited hours so keep an eye out for that.

Best deep-dish this side of the Ohio River. All their pizza is great, but the special deep-dish is amazing. Be ready for a longer dinner, though -- the deep-dish takes about 40 minutes to bake.

We would be remiss if we didn't make a recommendation for the best Ethiopian restaurant in town -- and yes, there is more than one! This is one of our favorites spots to get really authentic Ethiopian food. The Doro Wat is always a good starting place if you're new to the cuisine.

Parks & Nature

Walk the loop or picnic in a pavilion, swing at the playground or run through the splashpad. This is perhaps the most beautiful, scenic park in all of Louisville. It's worth even just a short drive around the scenic loop to enjoy the immersion into nature while you're in the heart of the city.
