There’s a new foodie tour in town and it’s not just for tourists. The NuLu Food & History Walking Tour takes a bite of history and bourbon balls in one of our city’s most popular neighborhoods.

The ~1.5 mile trip covers six stops in three hours and unpacks a lot of NuLu history, as well as the neighboring Butchertown area. Even the most knowledgeable Louisvillian will learn something new — like how Kentucky is the beer cheese capital of the world.

  • The Thomas Edison House
  • Feast BBQ’s pork cakes and slaw

Tours are $89 a person and max out at 12 people, so choose your group wisely. The next available dates for booking are Friday, Dec. 9, Saturday Dec. 10, and Friday, Dec. 16.
