The Campbell House (And The Newest Rackhouse Tavern): A Lexington Tradition
If you're looking for somewhere to visit, stay, or eat at in Lexington, look no further! The Lexington Campbell House is a property right in the heart of Lexington, located on South Broadway. It's close to campus, downtown, Rupp Arena, and a good local for traveling to venues farther out such as Keeneland. If you live here, you've probably driven past it multiple times, wondering what the gorgeous white buildings were for (I know I have). This property, which used to be a horse farm, has had multi-million dollar renovations, turning it into a beautiful hotel with one of the best restaurants I've ever eaten at.
The Lexington Warehouse Block: A Whole Day of Fun in One Place
Hidden out of direct sight, the Warehouse Block is Walton, National, and North Ashland Avenues, on the east side of Lexington. Right off of Winchester Road, and a 7 minute drive from U.K.'s campus, the area is super easy to get to. There's street parking and parking lots everywhere, making it just as easy to visit as well. There's no reason to not check this place out! With over 30 small businesses in this small community, there's food, beer, fitness, and shopping for absolutely everyone.
El Charro: Skinny Margs and Vegetarian Flautas
When I go out with friends for margs and tacos, I always feel like the only non-meat meal option is a cheese quesadilla. That's why I was so excited that El Charro decided to add some more vegetarian to their menu! These Flautas are filled with mashed potatoes and topped with lettuce, pico de gallo, sour cream, and queso fresco.
‘Pies, Pies, Pies’… Why I Love Missy’s Pies
My main goal when I made this blog was to tell y'all about the awesome local food in Lexington, so here's my first go! I got to go by Missy's Pies and meet some of the people over there, and of course got to try some of my favorite dessert in Lexington. And I'm SO excited to get to tell you all about this amazing #KentuckyProud brand!
