I drove down Frankfort looking for the charm of Louisville, and was wholly unimpressed. There really was nothing to see here. More

Frankfort Ave has many good restaurants and interesting shops. The mix is eclectic and if you are able, you should attend a Friday Night Trolley Hop. In the summer on Friday nights, Frankfort Ave comes to life with street muscians sidewalk sales and samples. More

Frankfort Ave. has plenty to see and do. There are some excellent eateries and coffee shops as well as great places to buy gifts. I've bought many a Christmas present at Just Creations. More

Not too congested street dotted with a lot of fantastic restaurants, and in my opinion, has taken the lead from Bardstown Road area. Varanese, Porcini's, Volare to name a few. Quaint shops also make his area a great place for shopping, but in the shopping competition, Bardstown Road has a slight advantage. Seems to be fairly safe at all hours.... More

Frankfort Ave along Clifton and the Crescent Hill area has the best shopping in Louisville. Just park and walk as far as you wish and visit all the Ma & Pa stores along the way. You can pick up some great gifts for your friends and family or for yourself and have great dining experiences along the way. Visit anytime... More

Looking for something different to do on a Friday night, my friends and I decided to try out the Frankfort Avenue Trolley Hop - what a great decision! There's so much to see, do, eat, and drink! We parked at Mellwood Art Center, and were very impressed by the facility. It looked really busy, probably due to the three weddings... More
