Covington
Covington’s history is rich in firsts. It’s the first city in Northern Kentucky to pass a non-discrimination ordinance protecting LGBTQ people. A Covington politician, John G. Carlisle, was one of the co-creators, along with E.H. Taylor, of the Bottled in Bond Act-- guaranteeing high quality bourbon for the first time in U.S. history. And the inspiration for the Brooklyn Bridge grew in John R. Roebling's mind in Covington. Seriously, the Roebling Suspension Bridge, which he designed and built, spanning from the banks of Covington to Cincinnati was Roebling’s model for the Brooklyn Bridge in NYC.
One of the best things about traveling to Covington is the array of authentic, local as local gets, unique shops, street art, restaurants, walking tours, bourbon bars, and craft breweries to visit.
