There are a LOT of places to eat. Probably more than any comparable sized city in the state. The problem is Black Friday Traffic, It is horrible on the strip. Im not sure our Wayne Co guests want to test back roads to the mall area to get a bite to eat. Downtown I guess all the market square restaurants will be open. Does Eat Place, Max's Brick Oven, Cynthia's, etc....I would recommend any of them if you want upscale.

You can check this link for what is at each exit. Avoid traffic on exit 4 if you can and use exit 7.

As for travel time, we are about 2 1/2 - 3 hours west of Bowling Green up the Natcher Parkway, West Ky Parkway and I-24. So however long it takes to get from Monticello to BG, just add it on. You will be on central time.
