Very interesting town. Horse racing is part of the tapestry that is the history of Lexington. There are many tributes to horse racing in restaurants and businesses everywhere. Keeneland is the very well known racetrack located in Lexington, Kentucky is famous for its bourbon production, and Lexington has a new distillery district that is modern concepts layered in historic spaces. It has hip spots for bourbon and beer tasting, food, pizza, hatchet throwing, and the best ice cream in Kentucky.
