Life in Lexington Our favorite things about the Bluegrass.

It’s simple, really. We love Lexington! If you’ve spent a few days or a few years here, we bet you understand. Lexington is special. Below are a few of our favorite things. What are your favorites?

Small Town Charm

Lexington’s got charm. People are nice here– you’ll find lifetime Lexingtonians and folks who have settled here from all over. It’s the perfect size to feel like home and still have plenty of festivals, arts, and goings-on of a larger city. There’s always something happening.

Horses, Horses, Horses

You don’t have to be a horseracing aficionado to enjoy one of Lexington’s most famous features. We enjoy soaking up our heritage at Keeneland, the Kentucky Horse Park, or simply driving around the horse farms right outside of Lexington. It’s good for the soul!

Have We Mentioned the Donuts? And the Ice Cream? Oh, Don’t Forget the BBQ…

We love to eat, and we eat well. No matter your budget, you can always find an amazing meal. And, thanks to the efforts of local businesspeople and the Kentucky Proud program, you’re never far from a farm-to-table meal that supports the Commonwealth. As far as donuts and ice cream go, locals will tell you– North Lime Donuts, Spalding’s, and Crank & Boom are not to be missed. And, if you are craving barbeque, my personal favorite is Blue Door Smokehouse.
