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…
Another week, another reason to be genuinely glad you live here. This week in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky is stacked, and I mean that in the best possible way. Whether you’re looking for live music, world-class choral performances, a farm festival just across the river, or an excuse to eat your way through downtown, there…
I originally went to the Taft Museum of Art for the museum. The café was kind of an afterthought. And then I took one bite of my Croque Madame and completely reassigned my priorities. The Taft Museum Café is tucked right inside the entrance of the Taft Museum of Art in Cincinnati’s Eden Park neighborhood,…
So… I didn’t know what to expect from the Taft Museum of Art. I knew it was a historic house museum in Cincinnati, I knew there was a big Rembrandt exhibit on right now, and I knew we were going. That was about it. What I didn’t expect was to spend three hours there and…

From a beloved outdoor market returning to Washington Park to the final days of a…
There is no shortage of holiday cheer in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky once December rolls around, or November, if we’re being honest. Between drive-through light shows, walk-through winter wonderlands, synchronized music displays, and whole neighborhoods that go absolutely all-out, this region does the holidays right. Whether you’re looking for a free family tradition, a ticketed…
I still remember the first time I visited Findlay Market on a whim with my boyfriend after hearing about it from basically everyone we knew. I expected a farmers market, some produce stands, maybe a few flower vendors, call it a morning. What I actually walked into was something else entirely. There’s the market itself,…
If you’ve never been to Cincinnati’s Asian Food Fest, let me just say, your stomach is missing out. 🍜 I made it out on day one (Friday, April 25th) and showed up around noon thinking I’d ease into it. Nope. The crowds were already in full force, lines were forming at the most popular vendors,…
There’s something about being at the zoo after hours that just hits differently. The crowds thin out, the gardens glow in the evening light, and suddenly you’re surrounded by live music, spring blooms, and people who clearly had the same idea you did, grab a blanket, find a good spot, and just be for a…
