There is a children craft place that advertises drop in events, stopped here with my son and my friend and the staff looked me and my son up and down like we didn’t belong and was incredibly rude and dismissive of us using their drop in service they advertised. My son is 3 and really wanted to do the craft so we stayed, and they spoke mostly to my friend who is white the entire time, and were super nice and interactive to a party that was there. Wouldn’t recommend this establishment. Their responses to my reviews were also dismissive and unapologetic. Would stay away from this establishment

Lexington, Kentucky isn’t on anybody’s bucket list for Black travel but, located 45 miles outside the Midwest metropolis of Louisville, its perimeter boasts prime access to the Bourbon Trail and over 65 wineries. The city of Lexington is also home to one of only 19 sake distilleries in the entire United States. Lexington also has a rich history of Black arts and Black-owned businesses including the monthly Origins Jazz series; Creauxa NOLA-themed bar that features local soul and hip hop talent from around the area and fried fish so good it could smack your mama: and the rotating cast of entrepreneurial upstarts at Julietta market that houses a think tank space for Black businesses as diverse as everything from children’s clothing to an ice cream shop.
