Welcome to Best of Lexington
presented by The Front Porch
Lexington is a unique place. We live, shop, eat and play in the beautiful Bluegrass State and we wouldn't have it any other way. The Lexington Herald Leader is presenting Best of Lexington to engage the community in celebrating the places, restaurants, and local businesses we love.
​
Last year, more than 3,800 businesses, organizations, and individuals were nominated across 239 categories, and over 316,000 votes cast by engaged, enthusiastic residents. That kind of turnout shows just how deeply Lexingtonians support and celebrate their favorites.
