Ehrmann's - cinnamon crisps, butterscotch danish, butter kuchen, and perhaps the pinnacle of human civilization, their caramel ice cream
Cherokee Dairy - great chocolate chip ice cream, but my favorite treat was always a butterscotch sundae made with coffee ice cream and their fresh, real whipped cream
Reed's - 3rd and Oak - My favorite place for raspberry sherbet
Leo's Hideaway - great food nestled in the then-derelict part of downtown (Market? Main? I was a kid)
Stebbin's - on Chestnut - the first place I ever had shrimp when I was a kid
Cape Codder - the best fish and cole slaw
Toddle House - ice box pies and the world's best hash browns
Imorde's - real, homemade soup, salad, sandwiches - if a time machine brought it back, it would be a hit again. Ahead of its time...
the Rialto, the Mary Anderson... those great theatres we destroyed (and the neighborhood ones - the Bard, Uptown, Cozy). Thank goodness the Palace was saved
Parkside on New Cut Road - the first restaurant meal I remember from childhood: roast beef sandwich smothered in gravy
Rene's - on Bardstown Road - our first real French restaurant
the Green River friday night fish fry in a basement next to the Cozy - the best fish ever. (it was a lot like the Fish House's)
All the places that let me listen for hours to records without buying anything, and educate myself in jazz: Stewart's, Vine Records, Shakleton's
Calandrino's Pizza - our first pizza place, with pizza served on aluminum pedestals
Mammy's barbeque at Bardstown and Taylorsville
Bob Colglazer's Ranch House - the Ranchburger was a precursor to the Big Mac
Scotty's Market - Highland and Bardstown - great little grocery that made its own bottle mayonnaise. Delicious and unique...
the Zanzibar - great, divey UL hangout
The original Cardinal Inn
