We’re #3!

March 30, 2010

Wow, thanks everyone! The results from City Beat’s Best of are in, and wine me, dine me came in 3rd, behind Scott Sloan’s blog (warning: not really SFW) and Urban Cincy. Considering WMDM is kind of niche-y, and the only porn around here is food porn, I’m pretty thrilled! I do have one comment– and [...]

Review: Essencha Tea House

March 29, 2010

I love tea. I have issues with tea. Terry will attest that I buy too much of it– favorites include fruit teas from Europe, Red Label, and I can’t seem to walk out of Teavana without spending large amounts of money. It’s like the teenage girls who work there see the invisible sign that says [...]

Cocktail Hour: The Negroni

March 28, 2010

A couple of days late, but Cocktail Hour can be on Sundays, right?  I say yes. Once spring hits, I start craving gin and rum cocktails.  Whiskey just seems so fall/wintery to me; gin and rum, on the other hand, taste like Springtime.  And, if the weather is any indication, Spring’s a little bit off– [...]

Call up City Council: Don’t let them legislate away food trucks!

March 24, 2010

Got this press release and thought you might be interested. Food trucks– like Senor Roy’s and Cafe de Wheels– could be regulated away from city streets. Considering that they are respectful of other small businesses and are filling a need for late night dining downtown. I love seeing food trucks in other cities– in New [...]

March Madness: Cake vs. Pie

March 23, 2010

Jezebel is doing a different kind of March Madness… a bracket pitting cake against cake, pie against pie, for an Ultimate Cake vs. Pie-off! I like March Madness, but I’d much rather pit cake vs. pie.   You can vote daily at Jezebel.com — today’s choice?  Red Velvet vs. Coconut in the Cake Conference, and Sweet [...]

Restaurant Week Starts Today

March 22, 2010

It’s that time of year– the spring edition of Restaurant Week. This event is so much bigger than years past– it’s hard to make a decision when there are so many great restaurants (and only a week to enjoy the great deals). It doesn’t matter where you live– there are restaurants downtown, in the suburbs, [...]

Cocktail Hour: Manhattan

March 19, 2010

If there’s one thing that symbolized my childhood, it was the Manhattan. Wow, that sounds really dysfunctional, but truly, some of my favorite times that I look back on in my childhood involved my Aunts Dora and Martha, who came over often (particularly for holidays) and my mother would make cocktails. Neither my parents or [...]

I neglected to post about St. Patrick’s Day..

March 18, 2010

….first, we headed to O’Nati’s pub on Fountain Square, where a big bunch of fabulous folks were gathered to listen to Naked Karate Girls and a U2 cover band, but mostly drink beer. Then, Kate, The Boyfriend and I went over to Arnold‘s– where we had some killer fried cod (crispy, yet tender and flaky, [...]
