Cincinnati Preservation Association’s 2014 Mansions of Lafayette Avenue Tour
Our region is full of beautifully restored historic homes and buildings. We really do have some amazing historic architecture all around our region, and since I was a young girl I have had a fascination with older homes and even old buildings that house businesses. I love pretty much all vintage architecture. I think I...
York Street Cafe
Last week I had the pleasure of dining at the York Street Cafe in Newport with some of my favorite ladies. I have not been to York Street Cafe in years, and I had forgotten just how wonderful it is. Their seasonal menu offers unique dishes with fresh ingredients, and since we were all sharing...
Pictures of Henry by the Ohio River
Last night was a beautiful spring night, and we took advantage of the weather and spent the evening outside. First we had a scrumptious dinner (and some good brews) at Keystone Bar & Grill, where we dined outside watching the world go by. Then we took a walk down to Riverside Drive along the Ohio...

Bockfest Brewery Tour
Even if you don’t drink beer, or have any interest in beer festivals, you should consider going on a brewery tour in Over the Rhine. These tours are not just for beer lovers and history buffs. I think everyone should take this tour to realize what lies beneath the streets you drive on in Cincinnati. ...
Cincinnati Shakespeare Company Presents: Henry IV
The Cincinnati Shakespeare Company has just begun performing Henry IV last week. I haven’t had a chance to see this show yet, but if it’s anything like every other show I have seen at Cincy Shakes then you know it’s going to be great. We’ve yet to see a show there that we haven’t thoroughly...
The Children’s Theatre Presents “Willy Wonka Jr.” {GIVEAWAY}
I have such a soft spot in my heart for Willy Wonka, Charlie Bucket, Grandpa Joe and the whole gang. Roald Dahl’s book “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” was one of my favorites growing up, and I’ve even re-read it a few times as an adult. I’ve watched both movies repeatedly, as have my children. ...
Art of Food at The Carnegie
Every year when the Art of Food comes around at the Carnegie in Covington they have a marvelous opening night event. I know this from pictures I see and stories I hear, but alas, until this year I had never been. Each year I had some sort of conflict or another. This year was no...

Rusty Bucket started in Columbus OH, and now has locations in Ohio, Michigan and Indiana. They serve classic favorites such as pizzas, burgers, meatloaf, salads, steak, and more. For...
Broadway in Cincinnati presents EVITA at the Aronoff
This week I was given the opportunity to go to the Aronoff Center to see the Broadway musical Evita. It was a stellar show…three days later I’m still singing the songs from the show everywhere I go. You may be thinking to yourself, “Oh I’ve seen that movie, why should I go see it at...
Cincinnati Shakespeare Company Presents: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
For Valentine’s Day this year we had an extra special date night! Thanks to the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company we were invited to the opening night of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. I love opening nights at Cincy Shakes…not only is there always a great sense of excitement in the air about the show that is...
