COVINGTON, Ky. - Thanksgiving has turkey and stuffing. Valentine’s Day its iconic candy hearts. New Year’s Day has its pork and sauerkraut (Covington’s German roots talking), and the 4th of July its deer burgers and goetta ’dogs (personal favorites).

COVINGTON, Ky. - Don’t genuflect now, but Ash Wednesday is next week. And with the coming days of fasting, ashes, sackcloth, denial, and ritual penance, most people feel obligated to squeeze in the last-second revelry known as Mardi Gras.

Several Covington establishments can help you out in that regard, as well as some non-NOLA doings ...

COVINGTON, Ky. - Yeah, it’s Super Bowl weekend ...but we’re not enthralled.
No. 1, our local team hasn’t been to the game since they started using leather instead of intestine to make the football. And No. 2, imagine come Monday telling a co-worker that “watching the game on TV” was the highlight of your weekend.
At least get out and watch the game at a ...
COVINGTON, Ky. - Question: How many words are in the seventh book of the Harry Potter series?

That’s one event going on in Covington this weekend (...
