Cuban cuisine with live Latin music after 7 on the weekends. They have amazing drinks and appetizers if that is more your thing. I highly reccomend the margarita wine swirl.

Tacos reimagined- they are huge and filled with all sorts of things! This is a super cute, hipster place with a long wait time for a table, so I suggest getting your name on this list and having a casual drink while you wait.

This is a modern place just across the bridge. You can enjoy a wide variety of meal options, beer options, and other drinks while adoring the gorgeous Louisville skyline from the indoor dining to the outdoor deck. Also great just to stop in and grab a quick drink from the outdoor bar and still catch the view.

A super hipster food court-style market that is perfect for lunch. Say hi to my friends at the Mexican booth, FOKO, or try some jerk chicken pasta or sushi at the booths next door. Full of culture, coffee, sweet snacks, juices or alcoholic bevergaes. Saturday is market morning too, with extra vendors.

My absolute favorite local ice cream shop. Get a half-size ice cream sandwich with homemade cookies as the bun. The portions are huge, so make sure you have a real sweet tooth. They also have other pastries as well.

A local Ethiopian restaurant is minutes from my doorstep to theirs. They have a super rare honey wine as well. I think its like $6 a glass. If you're in the mood to try something different check it out and ask the waiter any questions since its such a different experience, but they have lamb, chicken and steak in a variety of combos as well as vegetarian options. Personally, I love it, you just ahve to be open to adventures. The food is great though.
