NKY Publisher’s view

I’ve said it before and I will say it again—this is our BEST issue of the year! We feature so many businesses, organizations and people that make Northern Kentucky so great. The community and support we have in Northern Kentucky is special and I am beyond grateful to be a part of it. It is such a great place to live, work, play and, for me, to raise a family.

Celebrating its 12th year, the Best of NKY is always a fun community-driven event and feature. It was a blast to host this year’s event at the beautiful Turfway Park Event Center. We packed the house with the best of the best and over 750 attendees! Dive in and see who was voted No. 1 and be sure to support all those who make the Northern Kentucky area one of the best!

Adding to the fun, we also provided a glimpse of the Northern Kentucky region’s local eats. From fast casual and family dining to date night options, you are sure to find something that everyone can enjoy. This obviously doesn’t include ALL of the great places to dine in NKY, but it does have some local favs and a quite a few new eateries! 

NKY is a fun-filled place, but I didn’t have to tell you that! We capture just a snippet with this issue and I know there is so much more to explore. Enjoy these few last weeks of summer—maybe dine al fresco visiting a neighborhood restaurant patio or pack a picnic and hit a local park. For me, I will be soaking in the last few days with my two boys before they head back to school.
