Germantown Eats & Drinks

All the spots listed here are in my neighborhood. Most are walkable.
Walkable from my house. Great NY-style pizza. The Liberty Bell is my favorite, but ask about their pizza of the month. You can also get a $2 slice of the day; the slices are huge.

Short drive. This microbrewery releases unique and interesting new beers frequently; I love their pastry sours. I recommend getting a flight. Really nice interior and excellent outdoor seating if the weather cooperates.

The museum itself is not free, but there's a great photo opp with a huge baseball bat outside the museum. It also sits on museum row so you can check out a few museums while you're there, or just enjoy the historic placards inlaid in the sidewalk.

This is further afield and very unassuming, but a true Louisville institution. If you enjoy Vietnamese food, I highly recommend. The menu is a little overwhelming. Check out the Yelp reviews before you go.
