I just stumbled across this restaurant and had to add it to my list of recommendations. One of the best pizzas that I have ever had. And they have dessert pizzas too with Nutella & fresh strawberries. Absolutely amazing!! It is worth the trip to pick up one of these pies!
When I am in the mood for dining on a fabulous rooftop this is where I go. The inside is gorgeous as well. The food is fabulous. I have never had a bad meal there. Very much a part of Lexington. You'll want to dress up when you go here. Their Sunday brunch is always a winner as well.

A gorgeous antebellum home that was converted into a restaurant and is quintessentially Lexingtonian. Their patio is one of my favorite places to dine. You will want to dress up a bit when you go here. It is a hidden jewel here in Lexington.

A great casual dining spot with my favorite Hot Brown in town. The hot brown is a Kentucky specialty that was created at the Brown Hotel in Louisville. It is delicious comfort food and Winchell's is amazing! You need to go when you are hungry because you definitely won't leave that way.

If you are in the mood for an amazing pork chop (they are cooked medium) or some delicious shrimp and grits you should head to Coles. The pork chop is mind-blowingly good and the shrimp and grits are sublime. They are my two favorites so I haven't had a chance to try more of their menu but based on those two items, I doubt that you could go wrong.

If you are in the mood for casual home cooking then Ramsey's is the perfect spot. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. They serve fresh local seasonal vegetables and they have the best pie in town. I would make an effort to go here while you are in town.

I just went here the other night for a friend's birthday and was quickly reminded how wonderful it is. I had amazing Aracini and Chilean Sea Bass along with a delicious moscato and a fabulous dirty martini. They nailed it the first time around. It is a quiet little spot that is tucked away but worth finding if you are in the mood for some incredible Italian food. Quiet and intimate. Great spot for a date night.

If you are in the mood for something filling and economical, you can't go wrong with Mancino's. The subs are amazing! I love the Reuben, Veggie and Club. I always just get a half and the portions are huge! Great for lunch or dinner. They close at 8:00 p.m. so just keep that in mind.

This is one of my all time favorite places in Lexington. The food can be a little adventurous but it is absolutely amazing. The ambience can't be beat. It is an outdoor restaurant so the weather plays a big roll in when you can go but this is place you will hate to have missed. So make it a priority when you are here. You won't regret it.

This is a Lexington institution, locally known as Joe B's. Most locals have grown up eating here and have loving memories of their breadsticks. If you go, be sure to get a breadstick and their potato soup is pretty tasty too. Not to mention all of the pizza options. A great casual dining option.

This little restaurant was recently ranked in the top 100 in the country. It is in an up and coming area and is packed on a regular basis. So call ahead and make reservations. It is a casual/hipster area. The peanut butter and jelly appetizer is one of my absolute favorites as well as the grilled lamb chops. Be sure to save room for the handmade ice cream next door at Crank and Boom but don't forget that they close at 10:00.

If you want to taste what a good home cooked meal taste like in Kentucky, go to Cracker Barrel. I have never had a bad meal there in over 30 years of dining with them. It is comfort food with a country atmosphere. A third of the restaurant is a cute country store. Great for picking up a souvenir or two. If you want a true southern meal, try the country fried steak with sawmill gravy, dumplings, macaroni and cheese and green beans with some buttermilk biscuits and a sweet tea with lemon to wash it all down. YUM!

If you are craving authentic Greek food while you are in town this is the place to go. The owners are from Greece and have brought their delicious receipes with them. I have been to Greece many times and I love having this restaurant in town. They make my favorite Greek cookies, Kourabiedes, delicious light shortbread like cookies covered in a mound of powdered sugar. And the okra cooked with tomatoes are wonderful comfort food.

Whenever I am in the mood for a good steak this is the only place I go. They have chicken and seafood too as well as freshly made sushi.

They also have Kobe beef if you are in the mood for something special.

Sightseeing

If you are visiting Lexington, KY in April or October then you should go to see the races at Keeneland. It is very much part of the culture and history of Lexington. A big social occasion where you can see people dressed in a variety of apparel, from casual to formal. You may see distinguished visitors like former Presidents of the United States and other dignitaries. If you are there in the Fall try some Burgoo. It is a delicious stew that will keep you warm.

The estate of Ashland belonged to Henry Clay, one of Kentucky's most preeminent Senators. If you come in late April or Early May you should definitely go and have lunch at the Gingko Tree Cafe on the grounds of the estate and tour the peony garden. They have some that are over a 100 years old. And you can take a guided tour of the house as well. A beautiful old home dating back to the 1850's.

Parks & Nature

This is the only park in the World dedicated to the Horse. As a horse lover myself I have been many times. You can see many different breeds of horses, go on a trail ride or carriage ride to tour the park. There are often special events and horse shows going on out at the park so be sure to check its website to see what might be going on while you visit. It is easy to navigate and the scenery is iconic within the state of Kentucky.

This park is within walking distance from the neighborhood. 600+ acres with a 16 acre fenced in dog park that has a separate 4 acre fenced in area for smaller dogs as well. Soccer fields. A bike trail. A new Splash pad and playground. And an amazing equestrian program. Dogs must remain on leash.

This little 26 acre park is just a stone's throw away and is a little hidden gem in the middle of Lexington. You can go there to enjoy a peaceful hike, enjoy some beautiful nature and natural springs and learn about the history of Lexington. Great for small children. No pets allowed.

Everything Else

If you are in town and find yourself in need of a haircut, color or undo I would recommend giving this salon a call. Katie does my hair and is absolutely amazing. She does color, fantasy color, updos and braids. I have long, thick hair and she has taken care of it for years. I have never been disappointed and regularly receive rave reviews for my hair, courtesy of Katie.

If you need to get a nice manicure/pedicure while you are in town, this is my favorite spot. I love their Spa Pedicures & SNS nails. The do a fantastic job and they are next door to one of my favorite sushi places and there are some amazing Cupcakes on the other side. Take advantage of getting some pampering while you are in town. Then kick back with some delicious sushi.

It occurred to me that since so many of my guest bring their pets with them that it would be good to list a 24-hour Emergency Vet Clinic. This is where I have taken a few of my own dogs for after hours emergencies and specialized surgeries. They have a wonderful staff and you can find comfort in knowing that they will receive 24 hour care.

I went to school in England and as a result, I am a huge fan of cider. So I was thrilled when Pivot Brewing opened here in Lexington. It is our first and only cider brewery. They frequently have fun events on top of serving a delicious variety of cider.

If you are in the mood for a good cigar or want to learn more about cigars, Jake's is the place to go. The owner, Jake, is often there and he loves to teach others about cigars and has worked with a South American company to craft his own individual cigar. They have a massive walk-in humidor and a fully stocked bar. A great place to kick back with a few drinks and a great cigar.

Entertainment & Activities

This is such a fun experience and if you are in town on and want to try something different I would absolutely recommend this place. I have been several times with different groups of friends and it is the perfect thing to do before dinner. It lasts about an hour and you usually end up working with other people including your friends to find clues and solve the puzzles. If you like a good mystery don't miss out on this while you are in town.

Movie Tavern is my favorite local theatre because you get reclining seats and can order food and drinks to enjoy during the movie. They also have a Saturday and Sunday brunch until 2:00 with $5 mimosas and bloody marys. So it is a fun spot if you are in the mood to catch a show while you are in town.
