What restaurants are open?

Say! Later on, could I drop by and borrow an electrical outlet for an hour or so? I'm thinking recharge ...

You would be the third charge today Robin..... course you can mate.

Excellent!! I just tried to call you, but AT&T's EDGE network is screwed up as well - I keep shifting from 1 bar to No Service, and I couldn't talk to you.

Maybe, if it's okay, a little later on Mary and I will bring by both our portables and cells - and a light bar so we'll need only one plug - and accept your hospitality for an hour or so while we catch up on old New Yorkers and buy some splendid coffee drinks.

Hey, neighbor! North or South Birchwood? We're just a block west of you.

No good answers, I'm afraid, and I HATE to hear that Red Pepper is closed by the outage. I wonder if Doll's will get restocked today. We're also down to one-third of a tank of gas, and that's a whole nuther story.

We are on the North side. It feels like we are in a war zone or something. I am generally a resourceful person. I mean- come on- McDonald's is always open. And it was. You just couldn't get anything to eat there. This morning, my usual ten minute commute turned into 50 because I was literally caught in the McDonad's traffic on Brownsboro Rd. The line was into the road both ways. I was stopped about 20 minutes. Traffic lights downtown are still currently out. An actual stoplight flew into the window of the building I work in. Ugh.

My fiance and I both filled up on Friday out of fear of this. But I'm not sure what happens when we run out of gas either. Its crazy to think how much time we spent trying to get food last night and came up empty handed.

La Grange is up and running if anyone feels like taking a drive We are thrilled to have power, thought it would be days.

Impelizzeri's in the Highland's was open last night and we had our meal there. I would imagine they are still open today.

Tony Impellizzeri's is open at Hurstbourne & Shelbyville rd normal hours.

We live in Crescent Hill on Birchwood and could literally not find anything for dinner last night. Everything in our fridge- which is brand spanking new- ruined within three hours. We barely found ice. Dolls was open but had no meat of any kind to grill. The Kroger on lower brownsboro in Crescent Hill was closed. All the Frankfort ave restaurants around us are closed. We did hear at 11 pm that Clifton has power. We also heard (a rumor) that beer depot had power. It did not. We drove up Frankfort towards Shelbyville Road. Everything was closed up until the mall area. We stopped in to go to Arbys. As we approached the door, they came out to say they ran out of food. The McDonalds and Taco Bell close by both had what looked like an hour wait. As did Outback. We forgot to check whole foods.

I guess the point of this- is I don't love fast food, but I'm hearing that Crescent Hill area may be without power for several days. What should we eat? I'm thinking of picking up take out from downtown, which is where I work. But most of the restaurants around here are closed at 4. I'm assuming the lines are going to be long everywhere.

Oh and both Red Pepper and Simply Thai were closed. My go tos for take out!

Walmart Grocery is open, though Kroger on Hubbards is not.

DCE and most downtown businesses are open...

All restaurants at the Dutchmans/Breckinridge quadrant were open last night. I'm assuming they all are today as well. Be warned though - they were all on extremely long waits. We opted for Q-Doba and even that had a line out the door.

Both my house (in Old Louisville) and my place of employment (UofL) have electricity, so I feel (and know) that I am one of the lucky ones. The car is on "E" - my fault entirely - but I'm not going to complain. I could go a week on "E."

I must have missed something, but I was up Sunday morning from 2-8am and did not see any major notices about this coming. I read the entirety of the interwebs while nursing a nasty head cold and didn't notice much warning. I was actually at the Heine Brothers on Frankfort between noon and 1. Lots of wind, but little idea of what was to come. Driving from Lyndon to Old Louisville around 2 proved to be quite interesting. Just shows the unpredictable nature of weather.

My girlfriend reports that the Lyndon area is completely shut down.

We were in Lyndon last night and Westport Village was open and hopping, as were the liquor store, Pizza Guy, Joe's Old as Dirt and the Walgreens. Funny though - the BP and Thornton's were closed.

Hi Folks,

Corbett's is open as usual for lunch and dinner and unfortunately Equus and Jack's are down without power, best of luck to all...what a mess

The last I checked the Highlands around lunchtime, everything in the Original Highlands up to Mid City Mall was closed. Molly Malone's was the only place open in the Original Highlands Baxter Avenue stretch. I had lunch at City Cafe in Mid City Mall which was packed.

Hey, all just thinking of you and hoping you and your loved ones are safe and sound. I had no idea it got so bad.

As it stands, just over a week ago, I was getting ready to evacuate my home here in South Florida as Ike was on a dead on course for us. I would have headed to Louisville for a bit of rest and relaxation. Ike slipped past us, but didn't spare a thing in its wake, Louisville included. I'm guessing most of you don't stock extra water and food for hurricane season...who would in KY???? Hope all the roads are cleared soon and that life quickly returns to normal.

Just took a stroll through the hood. The restaurants on north side of St Matthews open...Asahi sushi place, Pie Kitchen and Stan's Seafood. Lotsa Pasta had their door open, but it didn't look like they were serving...I may be wrong. Rainbow Blossom, Simply Thai, Fishery closed.
