America's Friendliest City
Marikka's Restaurant & Bier Stube
Where it all began. This is where we had our first date and now the rest is history. Have a beer and a frankfurter with extra kraut, Prost!

Horse Country Guide
The Bluegrass is known for its horses, bourbon, and basketball. This guide will help in picking out farm tours where you can learn about horse breeding, feeding, and medical care. We love our tours at Claiborne, home to Secretariat's final resting place. You can also pick out a number of other farms known for big winners!
Take a tour of Keeneland
Races won't start for another week, but you can choose from a variety of experiences to tour the grounds.
Bourbon Country Guide
If it didn't come from Kentucky, it's not bourbon! You can travel all over the state, but we have some great distilleries here near Lexington: Town Branch Distillery; Barrel House Distilling Co; James E. Pepper Distillery Bluegrass Distillers. A little further out you'll find Woodford Reserve, Castle & Key, and Four Roses.
Buddha Lounge
Our favorite go to place for sushi and a Sapporo. Fun fact, groomsman Tim photobombed a picture with bridesmaids Jill, Makaine, Holly, and me 3 years before we met.
The Burl Arcade
Skiball, Qbert, and Tetris...what's not to love?
Red River Gorge Geological Area
Lexington is about 45- 60 minutes from the Red River Gorge, nestled in the Daniel Boone National Forest. If you have an extra day it is well worth the drive for a Spring day hike. National Bridge is a 1.5 highly trafficked, easy, hike that will get you a beautiful view for not a ton of effort. Auxier Ridge Trail to Courthouse is a 4.4 mile out and back, moderate, and popular trail with great views. Sheltowee Trace extends from Northern Kentucky to Cumberland covering 38 sections. But if you start at the Connector Trail #211 you can access the suspension bridge which isn't for the faint of hearts.
Bible Mini Golf
Follow an 18 hole mini golf course through the old and new testament...hasn't changed a day since 1985.
