Let's do Lunch Today at The Café
(The Café; Lunch Today)
It's been almost a week since Thanksgiving Day, and chances are most of us have eaten up the leftovers by now, or discreetly discarded the congealed remains. It may still be a little too soon to think about settling down to another expansive repast, though, so this week let's do lunch.
In fact, let's do two!
The Café, formerly known as the Café at the Louisville Antique Mall, has reopened in new quarters after losing its locational clause as a result of a move: The historic red-brick factory on Goss Avenue that housed the antique mall (and the Café) is going condo, prompting its long-time tenants to move. The Café now turns up in bright, sunny quarters in an attractively restored old warehouse building next door to Louisville Stoneware east of downtown.
Lunch Today, a pleasant shopping center spot in Indiana just minutes across the Ohio from downtown Louisville, lures a lunch crowd to modern shopping center space in Water Tower Square, an office park and shopping complex built around the 19th century American Car and Foundry Co.
We've dined happily at both destinations recently. Now that we're stuffed like roast turkeys on a banquet table, chances are we'll be going back again. You don't have to eat abstemiously at these places - certainly not if you go for the oversize wedges of homemade cakes at the Café or the rich pecan and chocolate bars at Lunch Today. But stick with salads or a half-sandwich-cuppa-soup option, and you can go out feeling both satisfied and virtuous.
