| At 21C letters rain down on you while waiting for the elevator |
A wedding of some dear friends took Jeff and I to Louisville in July. I have family in the area, but truthfully haven't had a chance to explore the food scene in the 'Ville yet because I'm always busy with family events. We booked at the Hotel 21C, and I knew we would have a great weekend.
21C Museum Hotel is truly my favorite place to stay. Not only is it affordable, but it is mind-blowing. The lobby and lower levels of the hotel are actually a free modern art museum with revolving exhibits and lots of interactive installations (think Floor 4 of the IMA). Its restaurant/bar, Proof on Main, is also a see-and-be-seen spot for the Louisville "it" crowd. The whole situation may just be the epicenter of hipster-nouveau-art chic. Beware:
it's edgy! In my opinion, in the best possible way, but some may be offended by some of the art (for instance, the first time I went to Proof on Main, there was a huge photographic installation of a collection of breasts that was so tasteful it took awhile to realize what exactly you were viewing, so you get my drift).
