Is there a special breakfast place?


The Derby Trip will be followed by a few days in Keenland. Again, any suggestions for things to do, places to dine, farms to visit would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks John

There are lots of chain restaurants near the intersection of Hurstborne and Shelbyville Road (Carabba's, Bonefish Grill, P.F. Chang's).

A lot of people like the Cheesecake Factory at the St. Matthew's Mall at I-264 and Shelbyville Road.

If you really want to celebrate and have some money to spend, most of the locals prefer Max Ruby's.

One of my favorite places (that is not as well known and you do not have to dress up) is the Come Back Inn on Swan Street (there is also one in downtown Jeffersonville).
