Friday night girls night! After reading some reviews on Sartre, learning they serve food at Rheingeist, and looking at their menu, I was convinced it would be the next restaurant to try. The girls and I loved the design and atmosphere, particularly how open it felt compared to other downtown spots. Our waiter was knowledgeable…

Who doesn’t love this time of year?! Starbucks holiday drinks, light displays, shopping for those perfect gifts for the ones you love… I get excited for peppermint bark and peppermint ice cream! I also love all the local holiday events that Cincinnati offers. The zoo lights are definitely on the top of my list! I…
Maize
Maize, in OTR, is a unique blend of Venezuelan with Caribbean flavors. Like the name implies, most of the menu is corn-based and gluten free. There are delicious plantains in several menu items as well as offering empanadas and arepas. The atmosphere feels modern and “cool” with fun blue and yellow wall art, bar stools,…
Buckabee Brownies
Buckabee opened earlier this year as Cincinnati’s only brownie bakery. Located in Blue Ash, Buckabee sells about 16 flavors daily which includes their permanent flavors and seasonals. They just came out with a pumpkin chocolate chip that I already regret not trying! Other flavor choices include coffee and white chocolate, birthday brownie (with sprinkles of course), peanut butter…
Libby’s Southern Comfort
I’ve been following Libby’s on social media since their opening about 6 months ago and finally got around to going! They have had a lot of good press already and I’ve only heard positive reviews. Polly Campbell from the Cincinnati Enquirer wrote a great review, adding Libby’s to the list of spots able to claim…

Cincinnati Restaurant Week
I celebrated restaurant week hard with 3 dinners at 3 amazing spots! I didn’t plan to but ended up at all Latin and Italian restaurants and tried some unique food that was new to me. I thought about organizing this post by ranking the restaurants but they were all so incredible! So, in order of…

The vendors included a variety of restaurants and bars that were voted in the Best of Cincy awards, which were just announced. Each booth had a sample food and/or drink to try. It was an incredibly…
