Things To Do
The Greenery: Coffee + Social Space
Great coffee spot in the heart of Lexington. Queer friendly, cool vibe inside!
Joseph-Beth Booksellers
Step back in time to 1997 and get a taste of Sian's childhood...one of Kentucky's great bookstores and pit stops.
Stella's Kentucky Deli
Great spot for a quick bite (breakfast or lunch). On the way check out the house that Mary Todd Lincoln grew up in. Sian and Alec recommend the fried green tomato BLT with tomato bisque.
Tachibana Japanese Restaurant
Lexington is home to one of the world's largest Toyota plants, so that means EXCELLENT Japanese food to satiate the urges of the executives flying in from Japan. Worth a visit if you love great sushi and Japanese fare.
Standing Room Only
Sake bar and Japanese small plates - enough said.
Kentucky Horse Park
Step into the heart of The Horse Capital of the World. An equestrian dream. Be sure to enjoy the country on the drive out, take time to appreciate the pastoral prominence and rolling hills that make Kentucky one of the most beautiful states.
Distillery District @ 1170 Manchester
You're in Lexington, Kentucky - have a bourbon.
Cork & Barrel - Wine and Bourbon
Pick up your Bourbon and other spirits INSIDE the TSA controlled area at the Lexington Blue Grass Airport. Competitive pricing and very convenient.
Constitution Rare & Antique Books
Stunning speakeasy in downtown Lexington - worth a visit if you like old books, the US Constitution, and great drinks.
Red State BBQ
Delicious BBQ next to what Sian's father likes to call, "The Bates Motel." A cultural experience like none other!
