Could it be that the new Portland is in\u2026 Kentucky? Louisville has asserted itself as a lively, offbeat cultural mecca on the Ohio River. New Louisville, also known as the East Market District or NuLu, features converted warehouses used as local breweries, antique shops and the city\u2019s coolest restaurants. On Bardstown Rd in the Highlands you\u2019ll find a hipster strip of shops and bars, not to mention many \u2018Keep Louisville Weird\u2019 stickers. Bourbon reigns in Louisville. This is the traditional jump-off for the Bourbon Trail; with bourbon\u2019s current wave of popularity, new upstart microdistilleries, including some in and around Louisville like the small-batch Angel\u2019s Envy, are giving the old names in bourbon a run for their money. Try for the first Saturday in May to witness the \u2018greatest two minutes in sports,\u2019 the Kentucky Derby.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Couldn’t have said it better myself. Other than Philadelphia, I think I might like to visit the other 8 cities in their top 10 list. Thank you, Robert Reid!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
