The Restaurant Scene in Louisville’s Red-Hot NuLu

There is a stretch of East Market Street in Louisville, Kentucky, that is jam-packed with new restaurants. They’ve been calling this area NuLu — a portmanteau of “new” and “Louisville” — since it’s basically where every single cool, artisanal, slightly Brooklyn-y thing lands. You’ve got your restaurants like Rye and Decca, which focus on simple, product-driven food in casual settings, but also brick-and-mortar locations of food trucks (Taco Punk), excellent beer stores (Louisville Beer Shop), and coffee spots (Please and Thank You).

Harvest: Local Cuisine, Killer Bread Pudding

Sometimes on vacation I just want to enjoy a dinner out, to not take notes or photos of my meal. Yet sometimes that meal is so impressive that I still need to write about it, even though I can’t provide as much detail as maybe I desire. The restaurant though should be recognized for its high quality, even if that mention is brief.

While in Louisville, we dined out one evening with my friend Fred and his wife, selecting a restaurant that none of us had ever been to before. We took a chance, dining at Harvest, a “locally grown restaurant,” situated in the downtown NuLu district of East Market Street in Louisville.

Sustainable Design Consultants Begin Work Evaluating East Market District

Earlier today, a group of environmental analysts descended on Louisville’s East Market–or NuLu–neighborhood for a tour. They’re in town thanks to a grant from the Environmental Protection Agency, and for three days they’ll be studying the neighborhood with an eye toward ways to improve its sustainability.

Global Green—a California-based environmental non-profit—is leading the project, with help from local community leaders and the U.S. Green Building Council. As they learn more about NuLu, they’ll be offering recommendations to make the neighborhood more livable and environmentally friendly.

Beating the crowds with a weekday lunch at Rye

NuLu’s Culture As An Economic Driver

By GILL HOLLAND
Your Voice Contributor

I am honored to have been asked to share a positive news story/opinion piece with the Voice Tribune readers. So I will share a bit about the NuLu story. I am presently the elected President of the East Market District Association, our neighborhood business association. My wife Augusta and I developed The Green Building (presently the “greenest” commercial building in Kentucky) and are still working on several more historic buildings in the East Market Street area just east of downtown.

Five years ago, East Market Street was a diverse urban environment, on the up-and-coming “cutting edge” (at least in my opinion having moved from Manhattan’s East Village). Most folks at the time, however, would have said it was on the less desirable “bleeding edge,” and most of the 30,000 daily cars never stopped on East Market Street while zooming east from downtown to their suburban homes. Despite the First Friday Trolley Hop, the area may have been known primarily at the time for being an area for social services (Wayside, Jefferson Street Baptist Center, Home of the Innocents)….
