Downtown for dinner, Proof is hard to beat. Jack Fry's on Bardstown Rd., the street Sightseek is thinking of, is a very good chop house.

Porcini's is better Italian than most in a town with poor Italian food.

Thanks. I appreciate the suggestions.

One more question; what time should I arrive in town on Oaks, and Derby Day to avoid the crowd and get fairly good parking? We are staying in Lexington. And, what time should I schedule dinner after each day's racing due to the exiting crowd?
