This week, I’ve included more links with even more restaurant openings in Lexington! There seems to be a lot of good, yummy restaurants that have recently opening or that are opening in the near future. It’s so important to shop local!
If y’all are looking for something to do this weekend, then y’all need to go to CRAVE Food + Music Festival in Masterson Station in Lexington, Kentucky. It’s a can’t miss! I’ve been going ever since 2014 (but sadly this is the first year I’m missing it since 2014)! It’s Kentucky biggest celebration of locally crafted fare. It’s two days full of food and music – 50 food vendors, 11 bands, a classic car show, food performances, and more! The samples are $2, $3, $5!
