Their web page covers all the important details!  Need I say more.  Don’t miss “The Original Cincinnati Restaurant Week‘ beginning on Friday September 9th and ending Sunday, September 18th.

We have taken advantage of  unbelievable prices for food at some of greater Cincinnati’s eateries and have never been disappointed.  In fact, in some places, we’ve found the fixed price menu to be less expensive than ordering just 2 appetizers off the menu.

Hope you find the time to check out the great deals.

Bon apetit!

"Blues Festival Official Logo"

On Saturday August 6th, downtown Lebanon Ohio is dedicated to the “Blues”!

The Lebanon Blues Festival in historic downtown Lebanon runs from 11am until 11pm -with entertainment, food and …no admission fee.

And considering the size of downtown Lebanon, it certainly handles massive crowds for both the Blues Festival and Country Applefest in September.

If you’re roaming around on  N. Broadway Saturday afternoon -come visit the Open House at 23 N. Broadway- a neat mutli use property nestled in the heart of historic downtown Lebanon.

Open 3:30-5

Of course, if you’re in downtown Cincinnati this weekend you might catch the “other” Blues Festival starting tonight and running through the weekend.  All the “Blues” should make this weekend fun for all ages!

The 2nd Annual “Crazy Cardboard Regatta” at Voice of America Park starts with a party today at 5pm.

The actual  “Crazy Cardboard Regatta” races begins at noon on Saturday…and yes the boats must be made out of cardboard.  The event is a great way for everybody who’s been hiding inside all week to get out and have some fun.

Best part the event is FREE. Park your car at Voice of America Park, Miami University, VOA Learning Center and the West Chester Medical Center on Cox Road.

Sometimes you just have to go with the flow- my idea of a great Easter Bunny!

Have a great weekend.

Local vendors showing off their goods at the Home and Garden Show.

If you park in the garage across the street- you can use the skywalk to access the Duke Center- skipping the rain and getting a great view of the entire show.

There were a lot of neats thing to see… a tub -definitely too cute to hide in a bathroom.

Not related to the show at all- but a colorful pair of boots walking toward the displays.

But the most amazing thing to see is a giant (and I mean huge) bug- tucked away in a corner.  He or see is part of the “Big Bug” display coming in April to Glenwood Gardens in April.

I think this “bug” was at least 12 feet tall and maybe 18 feet long.  Fortunately non of the companies specializing in pest control had booths nearby.

Have a great weekend.

Snuggled into wooded hillside of Eden Park sits one of Cincinnati’s premiere jewels -the Cincinnati Art Museum.

In addition to wandering around the halls viewing tons of artwork and exhibits- the building itself is an interesting mix of old and modern architecture. 

Focus has been to make the facilty easily accessible to everybody and it’s hard to complain about free admission and the museum is open 6 days a week -Tuesday through Sunday.  There’s $4. charge for parking, but there’s a free public lot for Eden Park  just a short walk from the museum’s entrance. (Art and exercise)

While lots of Cincinnatians flock to other area landmarks, we often forget the jeweled treasure of art and history sitting just off Gilbert Avenue in Eden Park.

So if you’re looking for someplace to wander, the Cincinnati’s Art Museum is a great place to start.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
