Pluk’d and Good Bowl, down and out in New Albany

Pluk’d and Good Bowl were sister concepts that opened in February, 2025 at 2441 State St. in New Albany, the remodeled former Tucker’s American Favorites. One of them served moderately healthy bowls, and the other one didn’t. This said, and speaking as a resident of New Albany, these concepts didn’t seem out of line with […]

Edibles & Potables: Gaga over Wawa? Nahnah. WHYWHY?

Recently it was revealed that New Albany’s North Side would be GETTING A WAWA. Knowing my luck, they’ll probably have a float in the Harvest Homecoming Parade. Perhaps appropriately, given the usual fan boy ‘n’ girl hosannas greeting the prospective arrival of a glorified convenience store, NA’s new gas station-cum-driver salvation dispensary will displace a day […]

The Food Peddler has closed its doors in New Albany

The building at 2602 Charlestown Rd. in New Albany (Colonial Manor to locals) has housed many restaurants over the years, including Mario’s Pizza, Great China and Mandarin Cafe, all of which enjoyed lengthy runs.

Pints&union passes from “Memento mori” to “Requiescat in pace”

Full disclosure: the author was beer director at Pints&union from 2018 through 2023. Eight months after debuting at 1576 Bardstown Rd. on New Year’s Eve following its move from New Albany, dissolution came quietly for Pints&union after a final performance on Saturday. Connoisseurs of irony (alas, our numbers steadily dwindle) will note that during the […]

Our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has made our 24-year journey so remarkable. We have been blessed to serve […]

Hip Hops: The shocking fate of an innovative brewer in pre-Prohibition New Albany

I’m writing a book about beer, and the first of several deadlines is today. Speaking as an expository writer (my efforts at fiction have always been abysmal), one must learn in order to teach. Consequently, research began in January, and the only sure thing is that more of it will land on the cutting room […]

The last day for New Albany’s Honey Creme Donut Shop is March 3

Late last summer the owners of New Albany’s venerable Honey Creme Donut Shop (514 Vincennes St.) announced that they were seeking a buyer, and an auction process was arranged, which ultimately did not yield a new investor. They carried on, but now the business will shutter after a final day of business on Monday, March […]

La Fogata Taqueria is open for business in New Albany

Over the winter the long-dormant former Applebee’s building on Grant Line Road in New Albany began stirring, and was completely transformed on the exterior, erasing most of the chain restaurant traces. We love it when indies reclaim their turf. Eventually I saw an alcoholic beverage application, and the waiting game began. Here’s the “blurb,” as […]
