This is a fantastic trail system that is only just barely out of town. East and west pinnacles are moderately challenging and each about a 3 mile hike in total. I recommend grabbing breakfast to go and enjoying the sunrise from the east pinnacle.

These are my gold standard for bagels. I've been chasing this high ever since I left Berea and I've yet to find a comparison. Plus, in the evenings it converts to a bar- what isn't to love? - Rachel
Joseph-Beth Booksellers

Nick and I (+ everyone else in central Ky) went on a lot of dates to Joseph Beth. The Bronte Café located inside is also nice.
The Kentucky Bourbon Trail
Ya'll know what the Bourbon Trail is. However, I reckon Kentucky's tourism board will pursue litigation if we don't plug it. That being said, Buffalo Trace is my favorite distillery to visit. -Rachel
