9 4 LOUISVILLE MAGAZINE 5.14 food drink The Place Downstairs (9200 Taylorsville Road, 333-0376, theplacedownstairs.com) The newest venture from the Martinez dream team (the trio responsible for Guaca Mole, El Taco Luchador and Mussel & Burger Bar), The Place Downstairs is accessible to the public only by an elevator ride to the basement of Mussel & Burger Bar. With a menu lush with luxury ingredients ó white asparagus salad with quail egg, Ibérico ham, black truffe and trumpet vinaigrette — this is the place you'll take the date who's way out of your league. Impressive. Wild Rita's (445 E. Market St., 584-7482, wildritas. com) Of the more than 50 tequilas available, the most expensive shot is a whopping $75 for an allegedly worth-it pour of Gran Patrón Burdeos. Order the El Diablo Margarita. And if you visit Monday through Friday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. and sit in the bar area, margaritas are $4 and tacos are $2. Little Jerusalem Cafe (5312 S. Third St., 614-6465) A hidden jewel in the South End, Little Jerusalem Cafe serves Palestinian food inspired by chef-owner Sami Barghouthi's native Jerusalem. The pièce de résistance? Arabic coffee, served blisteringly hot in tiny silver pots with individual espresso cups. Order a house- made baklava to dunk in your thickly spiced coffee; the layers of golden puff pastry and honeyed walnut take the edge off the beverage and your day. Four Sisters (2246 Frankfort Ave., 384-4262) "We wanted to bring (Vietnamese) street foods to Louisville," says Thuy By Elizabeth Myers Louisville Magazine publishes its comprehensive restaurant listings in EATS, issued each fall and available year-round on newsstands.
