St.James Square Art Festival

Hey guys, I wanted to say you should all definitely check out the St. James Art Festival. The last day is tomorrow from 10-5. It is a great event to get away from everything, especially the memo writing, and see or buy some really cool art from all across the country. There is food, beer, and a lot, and I mean a lot, of tents dedicated to different types of art and artists. I wish I could have stayed longer, but law school happens. http://www.stjamescourtartshow.com/

Sweet Treats and Late Night Eats

Hey guys, so I am sorry I haven't posted in a while. I have a memo due, well Monday, and I have been outlining and all that good stuff. Speaking of lack of time, because of the time crunch I have been under, the only way that I have been able to get my food fill in is late night eating. I do not suggest this for those carb watchers out there, but me and my girlfriend have been eating late and when I say late, I mean like one in the morning. To satisfy our late night cravings, we recently went to this pizza joint called Papalinos. This place has great food and is open Friday and Saturday until 5 a.m. The other nice thing is that Papalinos allows you to buy pizza by the slice. Their pizza was excellent and we also got a calzone thinking it was going to be something you can eat in one sitting. Well, we were wrong, the calzone is the size of basically a pizza tray. Now, the calzone did take a little while to cook, but I did not mind because it was huge, I was hungry, and it was only $10. I really like this place, so if you ever find your stomach speaking to you around midnight, like mine does all the time, or you are preparing for the hangover the next day and want to take the edge off, check out Papalinos. (p.s. I went to the new one near the campus next to the new Qdoba, Cardinal Blvd. between 3rd and 4th street--Cardinal Towne) http://papalinospizza.com/Home.html
I also wanted to talk about some awesome dessert places I have found. I am not a big dessert guy, I definitely prefer salty over sweet, but with that said I do enjoy good ice cream. I found out that the best of Louisville award winner for the best ice cream place is Comfey Cow. Again, this place is in the same strip as Papolinos between third and fourth street--Cardinal Towne. http://thecomfycow.com/ The atmosphere is really laid back with outdoor seating, wooden booths, and hand drawn flavors. They offer a vast amount of flavors they always have and flavors of the month. I got one of the flavors of the month, red velvet cake, and it tasted just like a red velvet cake, choclatey with a hint of cherry at the end. My girlfriend got the salted caramel ice cream which is one of their big sellers. To both of us, it tasted like the center of the soft caramel candies, so, in other words, it was delicious. When my dad visited, I took him to The Homemade Ice Cream and Pie Kitchen. I want to say that I love food and I think its pretty obvious, but this Caramel Dutch Apple Pie was the BEST pie I have ever eaten. I ate it in the time it took commercials to pass between shows. I have actually been back since. There are a lot of locations, but I have been to the one on 1041 Bardstown Rd. and 12613 Taylorsville Rd. near Simply Thai. http://www.piekitchen.com/index.html
