Equipped with 10 billiard tables, a 50 foot bar and a 1,000 gallon aquarium adds to the ambiance of the room. Felt isn't solely ...
Louisville, Kentucky owes its fame to the most exciting two minutes in sports. The Kentucky Derby has taken place at the infamous Churchill Downs for over a century. However, if you are unable to bear the crowds on the first Saturday of May, the Kentucky Derby Museum is open all year round and showcases the history, the competition and the roses of one of the most famous horse races in ...
Forget what you think you know about trendy restaurants. Located on Barret Avenue, Lynn's Paradise Cafe is hard to miss considering there is a large ceramic teacup in the parking lot.
Esquire magazine calls it "One of the four most fun restaurants in America" which is perhaps an understatement. Don't be fooled by the odd large tree growing in the center of the dining room, Lynn's breakfast, lunch and dinner menus ...
This past week The Courier-Journal described a new urban addition to Kentucky's bourbon trail. Basically we've got so many fine establishments serving a wide variety of the great bourbons produced here in the bluegrass that spending time in Louisville enjoying bourbon is a great alternative to only using Louisville as the "where I'm lying my head at night" home base.
I don't know exactly which 12 locations in Louisville ...
August 25 from 4:00 - 9:00 p.m., at the Oasis Festival Tent & Field, to the delight of beer fans visiting or local to the area, it's once again time for Brew at the Zoo!
Live entertainment, a wide variety of microbrews, great food, and a great cause: our awesome zoo.

August 16-26 at the Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center, the fair is back!
Worth a visit, definitely, with indoor (air-conditioned) exhibits, and more than its share of outdoor vendors, live music, interesting sideshows, and diversions, the fairgrounds are conveniently located near the airport--so even if you're only here for a short time, there's no reason not to hop over to the biggest deal all summer.
Paid concerts include:
Rascal Flatts
American Idols
Trace Adkins
Def Leppard/Styx/Foreigner
Free ...
Stuff left to do this summer, if you're visiting the area:
The Knobstone Trail is a 58-mike hiking trail that, believe me, compares with anything the Applachians want to dish out: on a small scale. It's still a butt-kicker fun for the whole family. Some sections are aggressively rugged, and have too many switchbacks for kids, so preview the trail info on its website before heading out with young ...
It's going...going...gone! Downtown, baby!
Anyone who's ever dreamed of hitting one over the back fence is going to enjoy the Louisville Slugger Museum in Downtown Louisville. Heck, I get excited about it, and I've never even played in more than an intramural college league.
Of special interest to Charles Schultz fan, Peanuts at Bat is on exhibit until September 16, but before you even reach the ...
Insiders tell me that the Louisville Zoo's new Glacier Run Splash Park may be off to a slightly, um, crappy start.
The concept is ideal, don't get me wrong: who hasn't considered how wonderful it would be to cool off, on a long, hot day at our city's awesome zoo?
But while the park is currently a new attraction, it's "splasher" beware. Hazards on the scene include kids in regular ...
What does a Komono Dragon, an Albino Alligator and a Tarantula have in common? They're all residents of The Louisville Zoo!
My wife and I recently visited our zoo for the first time, and what a nice surprise! There was a great assortment of animals from all over the globe, and the layout of the exhibits was very nice. There were several indoor pavillions showcasing different species, and even a special ...
