Savoir Adore at Zanzabar March 9, 2010

Until last week I’d never heard of Savoir Adore, the Brooklyn band playing Zanzabar next Tuesday night. I got an email from a PR person at their record label. Not only was the email really nice and gave me lots of information and audio tracks to check out but the author talked about all the [...]

Our New Love: The Swan Dive

I’d heard about The Swan Dive for quite sometime of course but it’s just enough off my normal routes that I’d never gone to check it out. Then a couple weeks ago my friend Rob, who is a vegan, (Hi Rob!) ate there and raved about it. Then someone on Facebook mentioned going to The [...]

Zeppelin Has Booze!

I had heard this new from a friend already but I’m glad to see the Germantown & Schnitzelburg Neighborhood Association blog confirming it.
If you are planning a night out for New Year’s Eve, consider keeping your business in the neighborhood and conducting your own “Schnitzelburg Walk!” The latest news in the local bar scene is [...]

Where to Eat in Louisville: Smoketown USA (by Jay Garmon)

This is the first of what I hope will be many posts by my friend Jay Garmon in his role as Consuming Louisville’s carnivorous correspondent. Here’s his bio:
Jay Garmon is a Louisville native, passionate
carnivore and a professional geek. He writes for Consuming Louisville

Sunergos Coffee

I had the chance to very briefly check out Sunergos Coffee recently. It’s not on any of the routes I normally travel so I’d only been there once before. You know it’s close to though? Nord’s Bakery. It’s my new tradition to have Nord’s doughnuts during the first weekend of the new year. What goes [...]

The subtitle for this post is Consuming Louisville meets Nord’s: A Love Story.
Good gracious I’ve lived a sheltered and deprived life seeing as how until oh so recently I’d never had an apple fritter from Nord’s. Nor had I had one of those buttercream filled and iced long johns.
Nord’s is an old school neighborhood [...]
