This week in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, the calendar is genuinely overflowing, in the best way. The Reds are home against the Mets to start the week, The Lion King is mid-run at the Aronoff with showtimes almost every night, and Thursday brings both Rockin’ the Roebling on the riverfront and Cincinnati Opera opening its…
Findlay Market had been on my list since basically the moment I moved to Cincinnati, but it took my partner finally saying “okay, we’re going” to actually get me there. He’s been going his whole life. His parents grew up making trips there. For him, it’s just part of what Cincinnati is. For me, it…
June is not slowing down, and honestly we wouldn’t want it to. Whether you’re looking for a night at the ballpark, a weekend market haul, or your first Cincy Fringe show, Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky have you covered this week. We’ve got a killer Saturday lineup with multiple markets happening at once, a World Cup…
Some places you stumble onto by accident and just never forget. That was Little Spoon Bakery & Cafe for me, we spotted it on a whim while walking through Newport on the Levee after a movie at the AMC, ducked in, and immediately filed it away as a place we had to come back to….
June is officially here, and Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky are wasting no time, this first week of the month is already packed. Whether you’re in the mood for a throwback night out at the aquarium, fresh finds from local makers in OTR, or parish festival food that hits different, there’s something on this list for…
June is here, and Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky are absolutely delivering. Whether you’re looking for festival vibes, live music under the stars, a big Reds night at the ballpark, or a reason to cross the river into NKY, this month has something going on almost every single weekend, and most of it won’t cost you…
This might be one of the best weeks on the Cincinnati events calendar I’ve seen in a while, and I am not being dramatic about it. We’ve got the final day of Taste of Cincinnati on Memorial Day, a beautiful thread of AAPI Heritage Month events running all week long (as someone who’s half-Asian, this…
Some of the best restaurant discoveries happen by accident, and Alcove by MadTree is proof of that. We’d actually had it on our radar for a while (it came up while we were researching OTR’s dining scene), but it took a nearby trip to City Flea at Washington Park to finally push us through the…
When I moved to Cincinnati, I wasn’t sure what the food scene was going to look like. I had vague memories of hearing about chili on spaghetti, which, I’ll be honest, did not sound like a selling point, and that was about the extent of my expectations. What actually happened is that I fell completely,…
Kanji OTR had been sitting on my restaurant list since the start of the year, one of those places I kept meaning to get to but never quite prioritized. Then, within the span of a few weeks, two different friends raved about it completely unprompted. That was all the nudge I needed. My partner and…
