y absolute favorite part of publishing Key Magazine Cincinnati is doing “research” for the weekend getaways!!! Researching for the stories is a blast.... this time… Louisville! Only an hour and a half away and such an easy drive...there’s a fabulous city packed with history, great food, museums and sites… And bourbon! First stop was shopping In the hip “NuLu” district with fun little boutiques and a nice variety of restaurants. We headed over a few blocks and checked in at the Homewood Suites Downtown....A relatively new hotel with fabulous rooms in a great location! Cocktails at Naive Easy parking and centrally located for this getaway. Time to start eating! First stop was Naive. We were fortunate to go there on the day of their brand new menu, and they wowed us with stunning cocktails and bites to eat! Tucked away on an adorable corner of Butchertown, they are cranking out fabulous food in a sleek and stylish decor. When shopping earlier, we spotted this fabulous 12 KEYCINCINNATI.COM
looking yellow house that is now Bodeguita de Mima, and is the most wonderful place. Cuban food with live music and impressive surroundings, every course was better than the last. Large portions and so tasty, we cannot wait to go back. We drank. We ate. We had a great time. Now, time for bed. Thursday was our touring day. We started at the Louisville Slugger Museum, The tasting at Kentucky packed full of sports Peerless Distilling Co. memorabilia and lots of history and facts about teams and players from all over the country. The tour was definitely worth it, and you even get to take a home a mini bat. Lots to do, so we headed right across the street to the Kentucky Science Center which is an absolute must, especially if you have kids. They will absolutely love it! So many things to see and do to keep them busy for hours. We spotted the KMAC Museum with an incredible gift shop that was packed full of art, jewelry, and cute gifts. A small art museum above that had two great shows going on.
