Friday Five: Cinco de Mayo

April 29, 2011

Two big things coming up next week: Cinco de Mayo and Derby. You’ll see some Derby-related posts from me early next week, but I’m in a mood for spicy Mexican, so Friday is devoted to Cinco de Mayo! In the past few years, there’s been a surge of good Mexican restaurants– no longer the beans/rice/protein, [...]

Are you celebrating the Royal Wedding?

April 28, 2011

I know– we broke away from the Crown more than two centuries ago, but we, as a nation, seem to be unreasonably interested in the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. Are you? (Shh– I’ll probably get up a little early and watch a bit of the ceremony in my pajamas.) There are watching [...]

Review: Brij Mohan

April 27, 2011

I have been thinking about Brij Mohan since the last time I was there, which was Thursday. And before that, I thought about it for a week after the first trip I made. I am absolutely obsessed. Brij Mohan used to be only an Indian sweets (mithai) shop. Folks would come from all over– as [...]

April 24, 2011

For those of you that celebrate (or those of you that don’t but still like to eat out on Sundays), where did you head for brunch? A quick spin through Facebook shows that Orchids, Via Vite, and Rookwood were all noted as “best brunch!” (with a varying amount of exclamation marks). We did Nada, which [...]

Friday Five: Spring Libations

April 22, 2011

Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been hooked on springy cocktails, beers and wines. Despite the fact that it’s still raining (and raining… and RAINING) I’m hell-bent on casting off the jackets and drinking refreshing drinks. Here are my favorites: 1. Garden and Tonic. It’s Q Tonic, Gin (I use New Amsterdam) and Bitter [...]

April 21, 2011

So every blog and its brother is writing about Cirque du Soleil’s dress rehearsal that a lot of us attended last night. You can read reviews of the performance from a couple of folks: Cincinnati Readventure 5chw4r7z Family Friendly Cincinnati And I’m sure there will be more– this is just as much as I’ve seen [...]

The Skinny Pig to open in East Walnut Hills

April 21, 2011

Jenny from Urban Cincy wrote about Josh Campbell’s new place, The Skinny Pig, opening in East Walnut Hills. I’ve been meaning to talk more extensively to Josh about this for a couple of weeks now, but kept missing him– I’m so glad another restaurant is opening in De Sales Corner, a cute (but underutilized) area [...]
