This fall, don your walking shoes, head to Jeffersonville, and experience the thrill of looking down on the Ohio River flowing under the historic Big Four Bridge. Lunch places abound in the area, so whatever appetite you work up you will find satisfactory sustenance.
Ramiro’s Cantina Express
253 Spring Street
Jeffersonville, Indiana
Although we had a variety of cuisines to enjoy for lunch — pizza, chicken, pub fare — we walked into Ramiro’s Cantina Express. It’s one of those friendly family-run places with grandmother helping to serve from the build-your-own burritos/tacos/nachos menu. After lunch, be sure to duck into the quiet, walled garden close by for a refreshing breather and moment of peace. If you have room for dessert, you could also stroll up a block to Schimpff’s Confectionery (347 Spring Street) which opened in 1891 (just four years before the railroad bridge) and offers every sort of candy and sweet treat imaginable.
Rain or shine, strolling the bridge and exploring what this part of Jeffersonville has to offer is a worthy afternoon adventure.
