Shamrocks, FreshLo & Sky Cubacub

COVINGTON, Ky. - Sunday is the feast day of that Irish bishop whose life and activities some 1,600 years ago are shrouded in myth, mystery, and scholastic controversy - but since he DID become a saint, and he HAS come to represent all things related to Ireland, there will be a whole lot of partying going on in #LoveTheCov this weekend in honor of St. Patrick ... especially given that recently appr...

Big Cuz, fried fish & Derby Does Drag

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).   And of course Easter has its Pappas eggs (you thought we were going to write “colored h...

Mardi Gras & more

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.   (Or at least that’s our assessment.)   Several Covington establishments can help you out in that regard, as well as some non-NOLA doings ...

You could stay home and get sulky, or you could don your galoshes, brogans, waders and ponchos and head out into #LoveTheCov.   So what if you turn waterlogged and your fingers grow wrinkly?   You won’t notice when you’re laughing and eating at The Art of Food, drinking an Ignitor Maibock, toasting suffragettes and statuett...

Glory Days, chick flicks & cookies

COVINGTON, Ky. - Whether you’re nuts about high school sports, spending time with your significant other, or trying odd taste combinations, this is the weekend for you.   Glory Days, relived Northern Kentuckians are just bonkers about high school sports, and that’s a fact. (EDITORS’ NOTE: Whether that’s 100 percent-always a good thing would be a voracious argument...

Scorpions, moonshine & Miss Kentucky

COVINGTON, Ky. - What do the soon-to-be Miss Kentucky, a new OJ theory, black forest scorpions, a new nightspot called Sugar Whiskey Sis, a brand-new 5K race tied to a holiday have in common and painted wine bottles have in common?   They all can be found in Covington this weekend.   (Of course you already guessed that, given this IS the weekend events roundup for #LoveTheCov.)   Or...

Belly dancing & the treble viola da gamba

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 ...

Horcruxes & Hunchbacks

COVINGTON, Ky. - Question: How many words are in the seventh book of the Harry Potter series?   Answer: 198,227.   Well, that’s what wiki says - and if turns out to be one of the questions in Friday night’s Harry Potter trivia contest at Keystone Bar & Grill, well ... you owe us a sandwich. Or a beer.   That’s one event going on in Covington this weekend (...
