LOUISVILLE MAGAZINE 7.17 51 THE RED YETI BEST BRUNCH STROLL CC CC Once a month, weather per- mitting, 10 or so neighbors on my block do a Sun- day-morning walk across the river on the Big Four bridge, an excursion with a reward on the Indiana shore — a patio brunch at the Red Yeti brewhouse. Highlights there include fresh-picked salad greens with cukes and pickled red onions and house- made balsamic honey vinaigrette; crispy fried potatoes; bacon and really divine breakfast sausages from Miller Farms in Guston, Kentucky; Weisenberger Mill Cheddar grits; fresh kale (if you're into that); made-to-order omelets; waffles with fresh fruit and whipped cream; and your choice of a mimosa, Bloody Mary or house-brewed beer. It's all a bargain at $15, and there's a bonus: You get to walk back across the Big Four and burn off a few of those calories. Brunch hours are 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. (256 Spring St., Jeffersonville) — Jack Welch READERS' CHOICE PIZZA RESTAURANT 1. The Post 2. Coals Artisan Pizza 3.

Crescent Hill Craft House MORTON AVENUE DOG PARK BEST DOG PARK My dog Reese perks up in his seat as I turn onto Morton Avenue. He knows where we are, and his low whine builds into the largest howl his 25-pound frame can muster. Beyond the double-gate of the Morton Avenue Dog Park, across from Flanagan's in the Highlands, he will follow the perimeter fence, nose to the ground, looking up only to greet another dog (or someone with a treat bag). The afternoons I've spent here, finishing reading assignments for my graduate degree, outnumber my fingers and toes. At eight years old, my dog doesn't do much playing. In fact, he doesn't seem to understand normal dog play behavior and barks in other canines' faces. But from his picnic-table perch, he's content to watch the other dogs scramble through the wood chips, running and catching tennis balls. — Jenny Kiefer
