Lexington dining, sites

Murray's -- "fine" dining but you don't have to get too fancy.

Panera Bread! is always good. On Richmond Road and Nicholasville Road.

Wild Oats.

Amazing Indian food to rival Bombay House: India Garden just north of New Circle Road on Richmond Road. Set back a little from Richmond, it's close to the Chop House. Our busboy was David, who chatted with Scott and me in Spanish.

Joseph Beth books is what a bookstore should be. It's huge. It's beautiful. It's happily situated near Wild Oats, Panera Bread, and Lexington Green mall. A huge top floor opens up in the center to overlook the children's section downstairs. Signed pictures of such authors as Stephen King line the wall near the register. Chocolate bourbon balls are available.
