Fun & Games at The Rook OTR
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...
Ché Argentinian Restaurant
Over the Rhine is bursting at the seams with restaurants these days, and there’s just about every different kind of cuisine you can think of. One of my recent favorites is Ché Argentinian Restaurant on Walnut Street. Ché is probably most well known for their unique empanadas and gourmet pizza pies. If you go with friends...

Christmas Saengerfest 2015
It’s the most wonderful time of the year, filled with many wonderful traditions. And as I’ve mentioned, one of our favorite traditions is attending the Christmas Saengerfest in Over the Rhine. It was a truly magical evening, filled with music, smiles, and beer. We heard beautiful voices singing, visited a live nativity, saw nativity sets...
Throwback Thursday :: Taft’s Ale House
I love to see beautiful old dilapidated buildings transformed and finding new beginnings. St. Paul’s Church in Over the Rhine is a perfect example, it has been born again as a brewery, restaurant and bar….Taft’s Ale House and Nellie’s Tap Room. We have yet to dine at Taft’s Ale House, but we did stop by...
The Eagle Food & Beer Hall
Any time you talk about fried chicken in Cincinnati or Northern Kentucky someone is bound to mention The Eagle Food & Beer Hall in Over the Rhine. The Eagle’s fried chicken truly is something to talk about. It’s very tasty! But it’s not just about the chicken at the Eagle…their sides and snacks are pretty...

Bockfest Parade 2015
We have gone to Bockfest for years.

A friend of ours even suggested that we go on israel group tours but we decided to go another...
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. ...
Rhinegeist Brewery in Over the Rhine
Cincinnati seems to be going back to it’s beer-brewing roots. There seems to be no shortage of micro breweries, craft breweries and home-brewers (my husband included) in the Greater Cincinnati area. We have decided, along with our good friends to make a habit of planning date nights that revolve around local breweries. I decided that...
LumenoCity in Washington Park
Last night we attended the most magical artistic performance that I’ve seen in years. And I’ve seen some terrific shows, but this event was in a class of it’s own. The Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra teamed up with the May Festival Chorus, Singers from the Cincinnati Opera, and dancers from the Cincinnati Ballet to put on...
A Tavola Pizza in Over The Rhine
I had the grand opportunity to dine at A Tavola in Over the Rhine tonight…it was delicious. It was the annual gathering of my sweet Auntie Annie and her nieces.
