new restaurant is opening this year in a space that was once home to a landmark Newport eatery. Whether a fi sh sandwich will be on the menu is to be determined. Brothers Dean and Shane Gosney own 846 York St., the former address of the Green Derby, a restaurant that had a 70-year run in Newport serving its famous fi sh sandwich among other American fare. The Gosneys are giving the building a full renovation. They said they have found an operator, and the business is expected to open in July. “The reason we bought it was the history of the building,” Dean said. “But we’re not restaurant people. We’re building people.” The original two-story building, located on the northwest corner of Ninth and York streets, is 1,300 square feet on each fl oor. The main dining area will be on the fi rst fl oor, with a dining room on the second available for private events. Coming down is the single-story addition along Ninth Street, to the rear of the building. Going up in its place is a 1,400-square-foot addition for a kitchen, as well as a patio with an outdoor bar. As part of the renovation, the Gosneys removed formstone, likely installed in the 1950s, from the facade, revealing the original brick construction, as well as a hand-painted “Green Derby” sign on the front of the building, likely dating back to the 1947 opening. It is that sort of historical detail that the Gosneys want to preserve and highlight, even if the new restaurant is not named the Green Derby.

There’s a new bakery in Covington, and inclusivity and fresh ingredients are at the forefront of the plan. “Growing up, I was always spending time in the kitchen,” said Chase Maus, co-owner and head baker. He got his start baking with his Grandma Mary and his Aunt Rose. “That’s how I learned to care for people, through food.” He’s named his new bakery after them, Rose & Mary. It’s been a long road for Maus to get to owning a bakery. He went to college with thoughts of joining the medical fi eld, spent time teaching English in Chile before he moved back home to work in the restaurant industry. Restaurants were too fast paced, so Maus found himself baking again. It’s his dream, he said. Rose & Mary Bakery started out as a stand in several farmers markets but now has a storefront at 39 W. Pike St., Covington, across from Braxton. The bakery off ers all kinds of pastries from the humble cookie to croissants and other more time-consuming treats. They also have hot sandwiches on house-made bread, soups and other cafe food, as well as house-made eggnog and coff ee from City Roastery. In the future, Maus says they may even off er house-made pizza or popup dinner experiences. Everything is baked in-house. “Very few hands and a lot of work going on above our retail space and in our kitchen,” Maus said. See ROSE & MARY, Page 2A

Shane Gosney, the Green Derby Restaurant building co-owner with his brother, Dean Gosney, stands inside the main entrance at the Green Derby Restaurant on Jan. 11.

“Is it going to be the Green Derby? Probably not,” said Dean. “Because the Green Derby becomes the building and the location, not the restaurant. That building will become the Green Derby and stay the Green Derby. There’s not anyone over the age of 50 years old in Northern Kentucky that doesn’t know the name the Green Derby. That name recognition carries a lot of weight.” See GREEN DERBY, Page 2A
