If you live in the Cincinnati area and are looking to dine at an “environmentally conscious” restaurant then you really need to visit the Green Dog Cafe.  They offer organic, locally sourced menu options, including many vegetarian options.  The food here is delicious and served with a fancy flair, but the restaurant itself is laid...
Houdini's Room Escape

Houdini’s Room Escape

Recently I was invited to visit Houdini’s Room Escape in Montgomery, Ohio. Until I received this email I did not know much about real life escape room games.

Broadway in Cincinnati Presents IF/THEN

Broadway in Cincinnati Presents IF/THEN

I had not heard much about IF/THEN before attending the show last night.  My busy schedule of late did not allow me the time to research the show as I usually do before I go.  I’m starting to realize though that this might be the way to do it when going to a show….with no pre-conceptions...
