The taxidermied animals have names, and some of them are not for sale because the owners simply like them too much to let go. Hail is a record shop and curiosity store in Covington where vintage vinyl shares floor space with mounted creatures sourced from antique dealers. Berry the Bear and friends are permanent residents; the records turn over. A useful stop if your living room needs both a new album and a peacock.

A matcha café that sources its tea directly from a family farm in Shizuoka, which means the starting point is better than most. Little Matcha landed in Covington after starting as a pop-up, and the menu rotates every two weeks so the seasonal lattes, strawberry one week, ube the next, stay worth revisiting. Hojicha and genmaicha lattes fill out the board, but the matcha is clearly the main event here.
