Number
6. That’s the number of hills across Louisville that the Metro Government has designated as safe sledding spots. Plan ahead of next week’s snow with our guide to sledding in LOU.
Biz
A coming-soon downtown Louisville hotel has a new name. Hotel Bourré Bonne is expected to open on W. Market Street by next month. It was previously known as the Canopy by Hilton. The $75 million hotel will have 168 rooms.
Eat
I Love Tacos is coming to NuLu. The local chain is opening its seventh location in the space formerly occupied by The Local Seltzery. Serving tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and salads, it’s expected to open early this year. (Louisville Business First)
Open
Pints & Union held its grand opening on New Year’s Day. Located in the former Against the Grain Public House space on Bardstown Road, the pub with an Indian-influenced menu moved across the river from Southern Indiana.
Fun Fact
Nouvelle Bar and Bottle is home to Kentucky’s only Champagne Master — that’s like a wine sommelier, but bubblier. It’s part of the reason the NuLu spot made the cut for Wine Enthusiast’s list of the “Best Champagne Bars in the US.” It was selected alongside another Louisville bar: The Champagnery.
