We are attending the Forecastle Festival on the Waterfront there for the weekend , but we'll have a full day to do/eat whatever we want - we wanna make it count! Suggestions? :) Thanks!
Quills Coffee new location on Main St. is a great place to start. For BBQ try Feast BBQ Another option in the same area is Grind Burger Kitchen. The B & B Lamps and Shades is my personal favorite. Top that all of with a cookie or other treat from Please & Thank You

Joe's Crab Shack is not local-it is a chain and is not really cool. I haven't been there recently so I hesitate to make recommendations - sometimes restaurants have a very short half life. I also don't like to use TripAdvisor recommendations, but Yelp has recommendations and they are mostly for food.
Joe's Crab Shack, Churchill Downs, Downtown, Cherokee Terrace, Louisville Zoo Museums. All of it. University of Louisville
