The Glitz at Irish Acres Gallery
Oh, you will not believe this place. A multi-sensory fantasy experience. A delicious luncheon (call ahead for reservations) is offered most weekdays and all weekends from March to December. The atmosphere is fabulous – and you don’t have to be an ‘antiquer’ (I’m not). Located about 40 minutes from Lexington. http://irishacresgallery.com/

Greentree Tearoom
A wonderful experience where tradition meets style. Offering luncheon teas as well as afternoon teas. Reservations necessary.  Located in the heart of historic downtown Lexington.
