IS IT DOUGHNUTS OR DONUTS?!

New Year’s resolutions? Cute. But we’re talkin’ doughnuts here (or is it donuts), so your “no sugar” era deserves a quick retirement. Treat yourself to one of Louisville’s delicious local shops and snag a melt-in-your-mouth classic from Nord’s Bakery, or grab a coffee-and-glazed combo at North Lime Coffee & Donuts. If you’re feeling nostalgic, how about Sugar & Spice, Plehn’s Bakery, or Clifton Donut Shop. All great choices. Cheers to starting the year strong and with sprinkles!

THIS WEEK

Start Your Day With Fewer Sirens

We all enjoy starting our day with an email that screams at us, don’t we? Wrong. That was a TEST… and you PASSED it. Every morning, the 1440 editors comb through over 100 respectable sources, pick the stories that matter, boil them down without adding extra gravy, and lay them out like a calm breakfast. You get a 5-minute newsletter that’s quick, straight-shooting, and written by people who appear to have read the manual. No bots. No slant. Just plain, thorough news on politics, business, and culture for over 4 million readers who’d rather ease into the day than have it kick the door down yelling. Always free. Subscribe For Free*

LOCALS ONLY

• It’s a good time to check out our outstanding local museums and take advantage of free or discounted days available now.

• New J-Town amphitheater gets ready to host concerts and events soon.
