Smoke Justis Bar & Restaurant in Covington
Smoke Justis touts itself as a sports bar, but I would say the TVs spotlighting sports are not the main event here. Smoke Justis is a great hangout for friends or family, even if sports is not your thing. Smoke Justis has a basement full of video games and offers live music on a regular...
The Wrigley Taproom & Eatery in Corbin, KY

Salvadore’s Pizzeria in Northern Kentucky
Dinner can be a battle at my house sometimes, but there’s one food that ties the family together…PIZZA! Recently we visited Salvadore’s Pizzeria on Dixie Highway in Elsmere and we had a fun family dinner. This restaurant hasn’t always been known as Salvadore’s. If you’ve been around Northern Kentucky for years like us then...
Dinner and Dessert at Frisch’s Big Boy

Max and I had a lovely...
Orchids at Palm Court Pasta Bar Lunch
Orchids at Palm Court at the Hilton Cincinnati Netherlands Plaza downtown has quite a reputation as being one of the premier restaurants in the city.

Queen City Radio
What was once a filling station in the olden days is now a hip new bar in Over the Rhine. My sister and I met after work one day to catch up at Queen City Radio and I immediately fell in love with the place. Queen City Radio just opened it’s <garage> doors this month,...
The Covington Coffee Company
After an early morning soccer game recently my dad and I decided to grab a bite to eat for breakfast. He suggested Covington’s newest coffee shop, The Covington Coffee Company. He promised me homemade pastries and coffee, which I could not resist. There’s nothing that beats Fresh Coffee in the morning, particularly after a morning...
The Rookwood Restaurant {CLOSED}
UPDATE ~ As of December 2016 the Rookwood is closed. I’m eager to see what becomes of this unique space! This summer I had the occasion to spend an evening with some truly remarkable women. Two generations of women from my mom’s side of the family got together for dinner and to catch up without...
The Schoolhouse Restaurant in Camp Dennison
I have never been to a restaurant quite like the Schoolhouse Restaurant in Camp Dennison, Ohio. Walking in the front door is like walking back in time. This schoolhouse itself is over 150 years old, and has been a restaurant for over 50 years. The owners have preserved the history and keep the dining room...
