With three interesting new restaurants recently joining Bistro New Albany, Federal Hill, La Rosita and others in historic downtown New Albany, Louisville's Sunny Side is looking mighty bright these days.

I've been eager to get over and check it out, but the scare stories about miles-long traffic backups during the recent I-64 construction had me so nervous that I wimped out and asked a Hoosier buddy, GREG GAPSIS, to pick up his knife and fork and tell us what's going on over there.

Now the interstate is open again, Greg has completed his assignment, and he tells us that the Hoosier scene is becoming so good that Kentuckians really need to re-think our attitude about crossing the river. Here's his dispatch from the Hoosier frontlines ...

Full reports in LEO and on LouisvilleHotBytes.

All of us in the trenches over here in downtown NA appreciate Greg's coverage.

I might add that NABC & BBC (Main & Clay) beers also are available at the Speakeasy, though perhaps not during his visit; I believe they were having keg box technical issues a week or so ago.

I'd better get down there and check.

let i blossom
let it flow

great beer on tap at multiple locations in downtown NA

and they thought they could keep us locked down on grantline road forever


southern indiana may well deliver enough reason to not cross the creek to ky


psssss, there's great pizza in charlestown now

I really feel like a traitor now...I have moved so far out to the Burb's of the Ville, that now I HAVE to make a special trip to partake of what I know to be good eats on the Sunny Side.
