We recently moved to the area and had seen this beautiful church which reminded me of Notre Dame. We stopped on a Monday morning to walk through. While it isn't on the size scale of most Western European churches I've visited, it is equally impressive, especially the stained glass windows. We were surprised at what a phenomenally beautiful cathedral, which reminded us of Europe, could be found in Covington. It is indeed a treasure. The marble along with the intricate mosaics from Germany pair well with the Venetian glass and make this a must see if you are in Northern Kentucky.

The overlook is the best view in the tri state area. I could sit and look at Covington and Cincinnati's skylines for hours. There are many playgrounds for kids, a golf course, a museum, shelter houses, an event location, a historic bandshell, and so many green spaces with picnic tables and places to relax and hike.

One of the best kept secrets in Cincinnati is actually hiding in plain sight. As you cross the Roebling bridge, which is famous in its own right, you will see huge murals on the wall on the Kentucky Riverbank, that are now termed the Roebling Murals. These beautiful murals trace the history of the area including bison migration pathways of old crossing the Ohio River, uncle Tom's Cabin story of Eliza the slave escaping across the Ohio River, and paintings of Roebling Bridge architect John Roebling who went on to design the Brooklyn Bridge in nearly identical fashion. The view from the murals, of the great Ohio River, the highlights of the architecture over on the Cincinnati shoreline, and the Roebling bridge itself are simply outstanding and photogenic, in any season. Stop over and have a scenic view with a history lesson that can be enjoyably absorbed. I have brought numerous international visitors, scholars and students to see this spectacular site, and they all insist on its being a great spot.

We sat outside the front door in the parking lot for a couple hours on a great September day and enjoyed a few of their draft brews. A bouncer at the door was monitoring mask usage and monitoring a queue of people waiting to go up to the rooftop bar. Although it took a couple hours, we got a text and went up to the roof for another round. Everyone was appropriately spaced and the bartenders were all very attentive. We'll be back!
