Louisville

Hello! I've been back in St. Louis for my spring break and have gotten to discuss Sullivan and Louisville with a lot of people. I was talking to my doctor the other day and he said that he and his best friend from childhood had planned to meet up in Louisville this year to explore the town. He asked if I knew any good places to eat around there. I didn't even know where to begin! My favorite place is the Garage Bar in downtown Louisville. It was created out of an old gas station, yet still has a sophisticated atmosphere and very unusual cuisine. My favorite thing there is the beet and carrot salad which has no lettuce, but instead is full of quinoa, a delicious grain. I also love La Coup, which is a very classy and upscale restaurant downtown. My roommate interns there and loves working with the executive chef, a 2005 Sullivan graduate, Bobby Benjamin. For a less expensive taste of Louisville, check out Spinnelli's. It is a pizza place with a very eclectic atmosphere. There are several of them all around town. Finally, for dessert, my favorite place is called Sweet Surrender, and mostly specializes in cakes. They are to die for and the little bakery and coffee shop is the perfect place to go and chat with friends. So whenever you get to Louisville, check out all of those places! Or take your family there when they come to visit. I'm so happy that the place I chose to go to college has so much more to do then just college stuff. It's a really great way to entice my friends into coming and visiting me:)
