Things To Do
Horse Country
An organization dedicated to partnering with local Thoroughbred farms, equine clinics, racetracks, and aftercare facilities across Kentucky to help connect the public to the sport of Thoroughbred racing. From stud farms, nursery farms, feed mills, and equine medical clinics there are a ton of options to choose from to make your visit to "horse country" one of the most iconic!
Wild Eggs
This has easily become one our favorite spots for an early morning breakfast or brunch! Try their mimosas, fresh baked muffins, or their AA egss any way you like.
Kentucky's Capital City
Frankfort, Kentucky is just a short drive from Lexington. Explore the capital city during your stay and enjoy the beauty of the floral clock on Capital Avenue, visit the grave of Daniel Boone, or tour the capitol building!
Saul Good Restaurant & Pub
Saul Good has good food, and even better dessert! Be sure to try their famous chocolate fondue!
The Kentucky Castle
Take a tour, have some brunch, or enjoy a rooftop dinner at one of the most beautiful, historic landmarks in Kenucky!
Carson's Food & Drink
A rustic, yet refined restaurant located in downtown Lexington. They offer several craft beers, wines, and Kentucky bourbon cocktails. We highly recommend the filet medallions, smoked gouda mac'n'cheese, and the chicken and vegetable soup!
Keeneland Racetrack
"A National Historic Landmark, Keeneland features beautifully landscaped grounds that are open to the public every day. Fans and horsemen alike are welcome to enjoy our spectacular racing, or simply visit the grounds and celebrate Keeneland’s timeless beauty." Guided tours are also available!
Red State BBQ
Sit back, enjoy the funky, cool surroundings of the little roadside barbecue joint that could. I guarantee you won't leave hungry after having their brisket plate and your two favorite side items to go along! Take a look around, and you might even discover the bride's signature on the wall dating back to her first visit in 2016!
The Amsden
This local coffee shop is a hop, skip, and a jump from my apartment and is my favorite spot for a specialty coffee drink. What's even better, is the little boutique that is attached right next door!
