Local events and things to do for families and kids around Louisville, Kentucky
After hearing a lot of positive reviews from fellow parents and teachers at my son’s school we decided to check out Floral Grind Florist and Coffeehouse over the Holiday break. It was a slow day for them and we were the only customers there at first. We spent some time browsing through all the fun decorations, knick knacks, jewelry, and […]

Just pulling up to Hi-Five Doughnuts, in Butchertown’s Butcherblock, you’re immediately greeted by the bright yellow, inviting storefront. Be prepared to wait in line at least a few minutes. We thoughtfully picked, what I had assumed to be an “off” time of day, Sunday at about 12:30, but we still had a wait time of around 5 minutes. The line […]

My friends and I visited the recently opened Martin’s Bar-B-Que Joint in Indian Springs. Martin’s is a popular fast casual restaurant with roots in West Tennessee. We visited on a Monday night and we were able to order right away. We were handed menus upon arrival and ordered our meals at the counter. The set up was similar to Joella’s […]

Over the past couple of months, I have visited both Louisville locations, but my first experience was at the original location in St. Matthews […]

Westport Village has a new coffee shop called The Coffee Zone and we all hope it is here to stay. It went into the old Heine Brothers space, right next to The Comfy Cow. I pretty much stick with the same thing when getting fancy coffee, a vanilla latte, however, I noticed they had some seasonal flavors and said why […]

We had a great girls’ night recently at Noosh Nosh on Brownsboro Rd. Noosh Nosh is a more casual restaurant by Louisville Chef Anoosh Shariat, (hence the name) that is open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It has a casual atmosphere with lots of tables, an amazing walnut wood bar, and it has a huge oven that looks like a giant, […]

Taking smoked meat to the extreme, Guy Fieri’s Smokehouse doesn’t disappoint – in food, fun and atmosphere! We were fortunate enough to attend the media opening of Guy Fieri’s Smokehouse, with Guy himself in attendance, educating us on the fine aspects of his passion for food, as well as his affection for Louisville! Located directly in the center of Fourth […]

Long before the 502 Café had a brick and mortar location at University of Louisville’s campus it was my family’s favorite food truck. “The Barbecue Man” as we affectionately referred to him had a food truck of the same name that would frequent The Flea Off Market. The first time we stopped by he was parked out in front of […]

We visited Lovewell Coffehouse after a morning of Sunday flag football and had some nice, quiet family time while we were there. Lovewell is located at 5219 Mt. Washington Road, off of Preston Highway and not far from Preston Crossings 16 Movie Theater. This coffee house is different than most as it is only open from Friday-Sunday from 9am-5pm. They […]

My family and I decided to check out RecBar recently after hearing good things about it from some friends. RecBar is located at 10301 Taylorsville Rd, near the heart of Jeffersontown. While we went to eat, my husband and kids really only agreed to go with me so that they could check out all of the old school arcade games! […]

I decided to check out Chillburger while I was in Valley Station recently and I’m really glad I did. Chillburger is located at 10700 Dixie Hwy, across from the Kroger there and not far from the Gene Synder. It is a drive up or walk-up only restaurant that does have seating outside (some tables have umbrellas). Chillburger is a locally […]

My three kiddos (ages 9, 8 and 5) and I headed to try the new pizza place, MOD, in Hikes Point. It’s located off Breckenridge Road in McMahan Plaza right next to the Park Federal Credit Union. MOD was easy enough to find, but parking was limited out front. We parked in the overflow behind the building, just had to be […]
