Covington restaurants expand outdoor seating with City's help
COVINGTON, Ky. -- Restaurants in Covington continue to create new, temporary outdoor dining areas on sidewalks, in alleys, on medians, in nearby lots, and on metered parking spots.
This morning, Covington’s Public Works Department employees installed plastic barricades filled with concrete to block off an area in front of Ripple Wine Bar to expand that Pike Street establishment’s seating capacity. (IDs attached to individual pictures.)
The outdoor seating is being approved on a case-by-case by the City as a way to help restaurants open back up to the public in a safe and successful way. Details of the ReCov campaign (short for #RecoverCovington) can be seen at this link,

A dozen and a half restaurants have been approved so far for additional seating.
