The Irish Rover: Frankfort Avenue Feasting at its Finest!

Vince Carter-The Vince Carter Team (Keller Williams Realty Louisville Highlands) — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 16:46:15 -0400

For fifteen years now, The Irish Rover on Frankfort Avenue has invited its patrons to feast on a fine Irish menu while enjoying the pub atmosphere of old. Its motto, "Cead Mile Failte," or "One Hundred Thousand Welcomes," successfully sums up what this restaurant strives to do: provide a place for people to gather.

The Irish Rover has tried to recreate the idea of "a place to meet family, friends, or business associates, to catch up on news, debate politics, share a joke...a place of character and cadence rather than impersonal efficiency." http://www.theirishroverky.com/index.php3?pageid=4 And if you ask its patrons, it has done this successfully. The outstanding menu helps a little, too.

The menu at The Irish Rover has all your favorites and then some. Ranging in price from $3-20, it features simple tastes you love as well as full plates of the best servings you could imagine. The menu is divided into categories that meet your dining needs no matter the time of day or the company you're with. The bar bites section features small menu items that work great as starters or shared snacks. These items include everything from salmon to stuffed portabella to bubble and squeak, a time-honored recipe of griddle-fried mashed potato cakes, onions, and vegetables. The soups and salads menu offers a flavor for every palate with a wide array of options. The Pub Grub menu items include hearty stews, casseroles, and fry ups such as smoked salmon and potato gratin. Additionally, there are sandwiches, pub plates, children's menu items, desserts, sides, Saturday brunch, wines, and beer & whiskey on the menu.

The Irish Rover also features an upstairs party room, available to host your rehearsal dinner, surprise party, anniversary celebration... you name it. And they don't just host your special events: they also participate in the Frankfort Avenue Trolley Hop in addition to a boxing day and St. Patrick's Day celebration.

So the next time you're on Frankfort Avenue, make a stop by The Irish Rover. Or better yet, plan a special date night in advance and check it out. You won't be disappointed!

Welcome to Woodmont, a Natural Choice

Vince Carter-The Vince Carter Team (Keller Williams Realty Louisville Highlands) — Tue, 25 May 2010 16:50:10 -0400

If you've been keeping up with this blog, you probably realize how often we feature communities and neighborhoods that offer a touch of the quiet life for city-dwellers in Louisville. Neighborhoods like Persimmon Ridge, Lake Forest, Glen Oaks, and others thrive because they boast of great natural shade during hot days and beautiful star-lit skies on clear nights. Frankly, many neighborhoods on the outskirts of Louisville can be ideal for home buyers looking for this type of serenity. We want to help you find the one that is right for you and your family. That's why this week we are looking at yet another of these fantastic options, Woodmont Subdivision.

Located off the Old Henry exit of the Gene Snyder Freeway, Woodmont boasts it all, "a carefully planned community, designed to provide homes on spacious lots while maintaining its beautiful setting of mature trees, a meandering stream, and gently rolling hillsides [with] more than thirteen acres of open space [including] the Club's swimming pools, tennis courts, playground, fitness center, and beautiful clubhouse with a 4,000 foot nature trail through the woods" http://mywoodmont.com/about.php . It seems there is nothing this subdivision hasn't thought of, and so amenities at Woodmont include all the must-haves: pools, a clubhouse, tennis courts, basketball courts, a fitness center, a playground, a nature trail, and the green space you need and long for after a long day's work at the office.

And the good news is that you can experience living in Woodmont or a very reasonable price! Homes that sell in Woodmont average $375,166, with a median sales price of $388,000. Homes on the market in Woodmont typically sell for about 5% lower than their listing price, giving wiggle room for negotiating. With twelve homes currently on the market and nine homes sold in the past year, there are many options available for your family's consideration.

So why consider Woodmont for your family's new home? Because "if sunny mornings on tree-lined decks, or quiet evenings under a starlit sky are some of the things you want in your future," then come "live and play where it's ‘natural and secluded, close and convenient.'" http://mywoodmont.com/about.php

Contact The Vince Carter Team today for all your Woodmont home options. They will show you the selection of homes available and give you a personal tour of the subdivision.

Abbey Road on the River in Louisville

Vince Carter-The Vince Carter Team (Keller Williams Realty Louisville Highlands) — Fri, 21 May 2010 14:15:03 -0400

Abbey Road on the River, the world's largest Beatles-inspired music festival, is coming to Louisville May 27-31, 2010! The festival honors the music and legend of The Beatles. Its crowd of 30,000 strong makes it the largest US Beatles festival, hands down.

Although it began in Ohio, since its move to Kentuckiana, Abbey Road on the River has expanded to average over 60 bands each year! These bands feature a variety of purposes, some emulating The Beatles, some simply emulating their music, and some simply celebrating Lennon, McCartney and Harrison without attempting to duplicate their work. Whatever the case may be, with so many bands and styles, everyone who still appreciates music from The Beatles will find a stage to enjoy at this festival, which features both indoor and outdoor venues and will take place rain or shine.

And if you really appreciate music, perhaps you can play and sing a little yourself as well. Abbey Road on the River isn't just about the music you hear; it's also about the music you make. Each year the festival hosts the They're Gonna Make a Big Star Outta Me music contest. Entry is free with a ticket to the festival, and the grand prize winner gets round trip air fare for two to Liverpool, four nights at Hard Days Night Hotel, tours of the famous Beatles landmarks, as well as the opportunity to perform live in Liverpool.

But you're probably more concerned about who you're going to see and hear if you attend. The list is lengthy, and includes talents from all over the world such as:

Hal Bruce from Nova Scotia, Canada

All You Need is Love from Ontario, Canada

The Café in Louisville: Fresh American Cuisine

Vince Carter-The Vince Carter Team (Keller Williams Realty Louisville Highlands) — Wed, 19 May 2010 17:39:44 -0400

Its name says it all: The Café in Louisville off Broadway and Barrett is serving up some mighty tasty and fresh American Cuisine that has been bringing patrons back time and time again since its opening in 1996. Owners Sal and Cindy Rubino take pride in their locally-owned business, providing a personal, hands-on touch by greeting customers at the door and staying involved in the preparation of the menu items.

The Café offers "satisfying sandwiches, elegant salads, hearty soups, and decadent desserts." http://www.thecafetogo.com/ Favorite dishes at the restaurant include Tomato Dill Soup, Country Chicken Salad, Louis XIV Sandwich, and Tuscan Roasted Chicken Salad. The Southern twist laced throughout the menu provides the taste of home we all long for in each bite. The full menu at The Café includes both breakfast and lunch items, as the restaurant's hours are 8am-4pm daily. Breakfast menu items range from about $2-$10 and include timeless favorites like biscuits and gravy plus new tastes to spark your palate, like Strata Del Giorno: spinach, tomatoes & onions, sautéed and layered with crisp bacon, Swiss and Parmesan cheeses, French bread and homemade egg custard, then oven roasted to a golden brown. The lunch menu is equally delicious and budget-friendly, with items ranging from $4-$10. Impressive offerings include "The Pimita", a gourmet pizza made from homemade Pimento cheese, diced tomatoes, bacon and red onions, with an oversized pita bread for its crust, served with "Old Faithful" West Yellowstone Montana Chili.

If you can't make it in to visit The Café, have no fear: they deliver! Box lunches and catering are available for customers throughout the Louisville area, and each serving is about $9 (delivery fees not included).

So make your way over to The Café in Louisville. Your tastebuds will thank you later. After all, there's no taste like home!
