Meet NKY! Julia Keister and Hannah Lowen, a local married couple, will tell us all about this underrated LGBTQ+ destination in the southeast.

They’ll give us an idea of what this region of the US has to offer and why LGBTQ+ travelers should be adding it to their list of vacation hotspots. Julia was the owner of Lil’s Bagels – a Covington, Ky. bagels, coffee and more shop that was also a local LGBTQ community spot for events. Lil’s is currently being reimagined in a new space as Lil’s Kitchen. Hannah is the Vice President of Operations at New Riff Distilling in Newport, Ky. Newport is right next to Covington, and both are just across the river from Cincinnati, Oh. New Riff is a family and independently owned bourbon distillery that’s on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail Craft Tour and also a stop on our local bourbon trail, The B-Line.
