Ok, hands down the best donuts on the planet! Arrive early enough that they haven't sold out. Try out their specialty maple bacon or butter cream. Pair it with a visit to the "Book Nook" across the street, and wash it down with Sunergos coffee next door. The recipe for a great morning in Louisville!

A place just for popsicles? Sounds boring, but believe me, this is not your average popsicle. These are amazing! They have fruit and cream based pops, with standard flavors like coffee and passion fruit. Or try something more exotic like mango habanero or cucumber lime.

Parks & Nature
This is a great park with plenty of walking/jogging. It has multiple areas with grills and playgrounds, perfect for a family cookout. We enjoy the scenery of the stream that winds through this mostly wooded park.

Drinks & Nightlife
The traditionally working class (now artisanal-hip) Germantown/Schnitzelburg neighbourhood boasts a pocket bar on every other corner. Nachbar started out appealing to the musicians and artists who flocked to the area's affordable shotgun houses, but now draws a cross-section of locals, especially on the dog-friendly patio. The worn wood panelling and thrift store decor are balanced by none-too-shabby craft beer picks (including local favourites New Albanian Brewing Company and Bluegrass Brewing Company on tap). Generous pours and budget-friendly prices don't hurt, either. Locals order Old Forrester (Ol' Fo') on the rocks.
