In order to expand our foodie horizons, we have been trying to go out to eat in the Newport side of downtown more often. Primarily its because its an easy bike ride from our neck of the woods and also because as you travel down Monmouth, away from the Levee, there are so many wonderful restaurants and storefronts to explore! I have enjoyed some wonderful food @ La Mexicana, Dixie Chili and the Newport Pizza Company - all indie restaurants and all reasonably priced. There are some independent business storefronts down on that stretch of Monmouth, and desolate as that stretch of the road can sometimes seem, there appears to be a dedicated core of folks that help these business survive year after year.
I didn't know there was a newsletter for the Newport area until i had one sent to me by the writer of Urbancincy - I'm so glad I've been enlightened! Reading the newsletter, it appears that there is a new member of the Newport business group. I'm not much of a knitter, but knowing how dedicated my knitting friends are, i am always glad to put the word out. For those of you who are looking for a place to buy knitting goods downtown, you are in luck! Hopefully, after time goes by, Knit On! will either offer classes for newbies like me, or have sewing classes (which i know i can handle).
Here's the info from the newsletter:
Knit On! moves to Monmouth

Then Knit On! is the shop for you! There new location on Monmouth Street now has three times the size of our original shop, so there is plenty of room to see all of the Knit On!'s fabulous yarns and accessories they have in stock.

KNIT ON! 735 Monmouth Street, Newport KY 859-291-5648
For basic info, their website is: http://www.knit-on.com/ . From the pics of the store's new location, it looks like they've moved into the old space that Resser Cycle used to reside in, which i think is a really cool old bank building. They are open 7 days a week (Monday through Saturday : 11am - 7pm, Sunday: 12 noon - 6pm), so make sure to stop by and welcome them to the area!
