Is there a special breakfast place?
Thanks John
John,

Wagner's isn't what it was since the departure of Kitty. It's fun to visit though because it's an institution, but it's simple. Louisville's don't miss breakfast place is Lynn's Paradise Cafe.

Downtown for dinner, Proof is hard to beat. Jack Fry's on Bardstown Rd., the street Sightseek is thinking of, is a very good chop house.

Porcini's is better Italian than most in a town with poor Italian food.
