Queen City Radio
What was once a filling station in the olden days is now a hip new bar in Over the Rhine. My sister and I met after work one day to catch up at Queen City Radio and I immediately fell in love with the place. Queen City Radio just opened it’s <garage> doors this month,...
The Covington Coffee Company
After an early morning soccer game recently my dad and I decided to grab a bite to eat for breakfast. He suggested Covington’s newest coffee shop, The Covington Coffee Company. He promised me homemade pastries and coffee, which I could not resist. There’s nothing that beats Fresh Coffee in the morning, particularly after a morning...

The Carnegie Presents Rock of Ages
Ella and I went to see Rock of Ages at the Carnegie this past weekend and I’ve been belting out 80’s tunes around the house ever since. My children are un-amused, but I just can’t help myself.

The Schoolhouse Restaurant in Camp Dennison
I have never been to a restaurant quite like the Schoolhouse Restaurant in Camp Dennison, Ohio. Walking in the front door is like walking back in time. This schoolhouse itself is over 150 years old, and has been a restaurant for over 50 years. The owners have preserved the history and keep the dining room...
The Cincinnati Shakespeare Company presents “All the Great Books (abridged)”
If you think that the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company only performs the works of Shakespeare you are incorrect. They bring many other wonderfully written works to the stage and sometimes they even cram over ninety great works into one amazing show. It sounds impossible, but somehow they made it happen. “All The Great Books (abridged)” is...

Our family loves to play board games. You might even say we are obsessed, so it only makes sense that we would love to hang out at place like The Rook OTR. What a genius idea to have a bar that serves up board games alongside cocktails and shareable snacks! The Rook OTR has 800 games...
