Here are the results of our 22nd annual “Best of Louisville” readers poll on the city’s top restaurants, retail stores, personalities and services, along with an even dozen Critics’ Choice picks to help spice up the mix.   

HOME AND DESIGN — HOOSIERS ON HIGH
The modern look is anything but sterile in this gorgeous Utica, Ind., walkout ranch.

SAGE OF THE SAX
A world of novice and veteran musicians have taken to the teaching techniques of jazzman Jamey Aebersold.
by Thompson Smillie

WHEN PUNK ROCKED LOUISVILLE
The release this spring of Bold Beginnings: An Incomplete Collection of Louisville Punk, 1978-83 brought back a power chord of memories for Louisville Magazine contributor James Nold Jr., who was the lead singer in one of the 10 bands on the CD of original recordings.

END INSIGHT — THE KINDEST CUT
In short, I go to an old-fashioned barbershop with everything but a striped pole rotating outside the door.

DINING OUT — GRAPE LEAF
Louisville has no shortage of quality Middle Eastern and Mediterranean restaurants.

THREE FOR TEA
Ask a wine expert what to serve in accompaniment to a citrus salad like the one featured in this month’s Dining In, and the first concern will be how to take on the grapefruit.

DINING IN — DRESSED IN TEA LEAVES
Summerize your vinaigrette dressing with orange juice and concentrated Earl Grey tea.

DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT — SHEERAN HOWARD KING
“I try to work with pieces my clients have already acquired and love — their heritage pieces and family heirlooms. I always ask to see what’s tucked away in the china cupboard.”

GARDEN GOODIES
Evergreen Japanese Sacred Lily

MADE IN THE SHADE
Selecting and cultivating plants that are receptive to full or partial shade.

DESIGN FINDS — DECLARATIONS OF INDEPENDENCE
Some local homeowners are “flying” the patriotic colors of red, white and blue on more than their porch flags.

SPECTACULAR BIDS
Big crowds show up when a house and everything in it goes up for bid.

UP TO YOUR NECK
These fashionable necklaces can liven up even the plainest outfits.

SYMPHONY FOR BATONS AND JOYSTICKS
“My two greatest loves were always music and video games,” the 39-year-old says. “I just never thought about putting the two together.”

TORCH OF JULY
As groundskeeper of the Peterson-Dumesnil House, Joe Winkie knows his share about flowers. But the chrysanthemums and red peonies he’ll display July 4 have nothing to do with a garden party. Not by a long shot.

ZOO BABIES
Match these Louisville Zoo babies with their traits.

J.K. MCKNIGHT — FOUNDER, FORECASTLE FESTIVAL
J.K. McKnight doesn’t look like your typical captain. He doesn’t don a sailor’s cap and he’s more likely to discuss environmental activism than wind patterns.

FEEDBACK

EDITOR'S LETTER: BUMP ON A BLOG
Personally, I’m hoping that this blogging craze becomes something of a journalistic leisure suit, a fashion that brings media down to the masses but in an ultimately short-lived, unsatisfactory way.
