Need your (Louisville) advice ladies!
Hi~!
I'm a California Nestie traveling to Louisville soon. I'll be there for a convention, so my days are completely filled (it looks like I won't be able to do much touristy stuff. Booo!). But since meals are on my own, I wanted to know about any restaurants in Downtown that are a MUST. Things to consider: no car (don't mind short taxi rides), and traveling alone (Booo again).
I'm already planning to have a Hot Brown (is J. Graham's Cafe at the Brown Hotel the best/only place??) and Derby Pie (where??). Oh, and I hear a new White Castle opened up in Downtown, so I finally get to try them (WHOOT~!). What else???????
TIA~!
Re: Need your (Louisville) advice ladies!
Well, i'm in Houston but i go to louisville 1-2x/month and stay downtown in the galt house.
There isn't a TON of great food downtown unfortunately. There is a good new sushi place called 'Raw'. As for 4th street live, most things are pretty mediocre, though there is a whisky bar where they make a wonderful cosmo:-) And I think there's a place called the Red Star which is pretty good.
On 6th and....Market? Main?....there's a restaurant called The Bristol - not bad.
If the weather is nice you can walk / jog across the 2nd street bridge and there is a good restaurant right on the river...ugh now i cannot remember the name...but it is right next to hooters:-)
If you venture into 'Old Louisville' I like Amici and 3rd avenue cafe.
R U staying at the Galt? They have a wonderful gym so be sure to pack your workout gear! Oh and be sure to get a room in the East tower, since the west tower is kinda old and resembles an old saloon / brothel:-)

I think PittTexan is thinking of Rocky's. It's in Southern, IN just across the bridge and is a great place to eat outside with a good view of the river and downtown Louisville. Buckheads is right next door although I'm not a fan. There are several restaurants at 4th Street Live (Red Tavern, Hard Rock Cafe, Maker's Mark, etc.) Oh! There is a fabulous casual restaurant on Main Street called Luigi's. It's a great little pizza place and they sell lots of interesting and tasty pizzas. The owner (Luigi) is from Italy and is a character! Another interesting place on 4th street is Cafe Kilimanjaro. It's a little hole in the wall restaurant but the food is fantastic.
