When I’ve moved somewhere, my favorite finds in a new city are always those little restaurants and shops that are locally owned and exclusive to that city. Lexington has a lot of great spots that are really special. Zuni, Part of Le Matin bakery, I’ve mentioned before and is probably my favorite lunch spots. And, if you’re looking for a great “Ladies who Lunch” stop you can’t beat The Greentree Tea Room. The Greentree requires a reservation and you’ll find it downtown on Short Street just before Victorian Square. The Greentree is absolutely delicious (the menu changes at the beginning of each month) and the atmosphere is simply charming.
Two more recommendations for Lexington visitors:
Joe Bologna’s has my vote for the all-time best pizza. It, too, is downtown on Maxwell (just north of the University of Kentucky) located in a converted synagogue. If you’ve never been there before be sure to order a breadstick.
And of course, you have to have some Barbecue. My hands-down fav? Billy’s BBQ. Located on the corner of Tates Creek (a.k.a. High Street) and Cochran. To the embarrassment of those who dine there with me, I love it so much I can practically drink the sauce! Love it! Check back later for more local flavor finds!
