ATING out late: Think about
bars that serve food, as well
as Mad Mush, Tolly Ho, Qdoba
and places like that.
After a night on the town and an
empty stomach (well except for cer-
tain substances), it is just the time to
gather yourself and get some food.
Here’s the guide for everything you
will ever need to know about late
night dining.
If you’re looking for a staple on
UK’s campus, look no further than
Tolly Ho. Located on South Broadway,
it has classic diner food and breakfast
all day. Cheeseburgers, sandwiches
and milkshakes are all popular choic-
es. And, if it’s your first time, make
sure to tell the staff.
The Qdoba on Euclid is also open
late on the weekends. It is open until
4:30 a.m. on Friday, Saturday and
Sunday. You can go with the classic
quesadilla or burrito, but the option of
a breakfast burrito is now there from
midnight to 4:30 a.m.
If you are more of a pizza eater in
the late night hours, there are numer-
ous options available for you. Mad
Mushroom on South Limestone is
popular because of the pizza and
cheesesticks. Thursday through
Saturday they are open until 3 a.m.
Another pizza place is Goodfellas
Pizzeria, located inside of Two Keys
Tavern. Not only is the pizza good,
but you should never have an
excuse to go hungry after a night
out considering it is indeed located
inside of the bar.

Getting Around
night out on the town usually consists of
calling taxis to take people to and from
their destinations. However, cabs can be
hard to rely on at times when their services are
busy. Fortunately, there are two unique alternatives
in Lexington for finding safe and reliable rides that
many people are unaware of.
One option to taxi cabs is BeMyDD, a driving
service that resembles a chauffeur at a cost lower
than most taxis, limousines and other chauffeurs.
Professional designated drivers use the customer’s
car to ensure a comfortable and safe transportation
experience.
The drivers arrive at the pickup location in which
they leave their cars behind and drive their cus-
tomers’ cars. At the destination, the drivers will
wait in the car until the customers are ready to
leave. The service is considered cheaper than oth-
ers because the designated driver and personal
driver service costs between $12.50 and $15 per
hour. There is a minimum of three hours for the
hourly flat rate, which allows you and your passen-
gers to stop as much as you want and wherever you
want within a 50-mile radius.
To guarantee a driver, reservations can be made
on-line at BeMyDD.com, over the phone or by
using the official BeMyDD mobile app.
The 360 Limousine is another alternative to call-
ing a taxi. When you call the driver Eddie Ward,
known as “Fast Eddie,” you will encounter a differ-
ent experience than with any other limousine serv-
ice. The brand new 10-passenger Lincoln Limousine
greets its customers with a red carpet. Inside,
clients will find rose pedals scattered on the floor
and streamers hanging from the ceilings.
“We decorate cheesy to make everyone laugh and
to start their night off right. We want our customers
to feel like they are getting into a big birthday pres-
ent,” Ward said.
The service is highly requested, so reservations
are recommended. The difference between 360
Limousine and other companies is that there is no
minimum requirement, so the customer can ride for
20 minutes or for four hours. The service cost a dol-
lar a minute plus a $10 fuel fee.
“The main goal is to make the client happy,”
Ward said. “I work
with and am friends
with other limousine
companies so that if
you have a group of
30, I can call them
and they can take
some of your party.”
360 Limousine can
often be found driv-
ing around downtown, where people can be
picked up and given free rides around the down-
town loop so they can see what the service is
like.
Ward’s reasoning for being so generous with
rides is that he “ looks forward to the future busi-
ness and new customers.”
The 360 Limousine can be reserved by calling
859-797-8739, and more information can be
found on Facebook.
Whether it’s calling a taxi, having a profes-
sional drive you in the comfort of your own
car, or riding around in an entertaining limou-
sine, there are plenty of ways to get around
the city of Lexington safely. When going out
for an exciting night, just remember no form
of transportation is as costly as driving under
the influence.
