Slugger Museum: Take A Swing

November 13, 2013 11:35 am

There are few pieces of sports equipment as iconic as the Louisville Slugger. That piece of fine American hardwood has been the official bat of Major League Baseball for over a century. These accoutrements of your hitting heroes are still made here in Louisville, Kentucky. And the Louisville Slugger Museum allows you to take a totally unique trip through baseball history. Entering the museum, he first thing you’ll notice is the enormous six-story bat leaning against the museum’s façade. At 68,000 pounds, it would take a Paul Bunyan to swing it! Inside you’ll find smaller, but no less historically important bats, including the very Slugger that Babe Ruth used to hit his last homer for the Yankees. A number of rotating exhibitions explore other key periods in baseball history. The tour also takes you through the factory the bats themselves are made. And when you finish up you even get a souvenir bat to take home with you!

Wild Eggs: Crack A Few

November 6, 2013 11:39 am

The Zell family has been serving up spectacular fresh breakfasts to lucky Kentuckians for generations, and their restaurant Wild Eggs has become one of the most popular spots for Louisville locals to start the day. If you can make it with eggs, it’s probably on the menu at Wild Eggs! Regulars rave about the spectacular frittatas and omelets. A favorite at Wild Eggs is the "border benedict," which boasts Green chili cheddar corn cakes, chorizo, poached eggs and queso fundido with sour cream and salsa. It's a fantastic update of the classic dish, giving it a South of the Border spin. Make sure to get a side of the homestyle potatoes – they are absolutely spectacular. If you’re not feeling eggs, Wild Eggs's menu does offer some sweet options, including great, fluffy pancakes and a Bananas Foster that's to die for. Prices here are reasonable, service is great, and you’ll want to come back to Wild Eggs again and again.
