After photographing the park during the day, I needed to capture it’s splendor at night.






























It’s just one of those things you have to see in person, especially at night. Just wow.

Another defining feature of the Smale Riverfront Park is The Black Brigade monument.
Cincinnati’s little-known Black Brigade was formed in 1862 to build critical barricades
and fortifications in Northern Kentucky to defend Cincinnati from Confederate attack.










Wonderful addition to park. 🙂

After Crave, we walked back to Smale Riverfront Park with Gretchen and Martin.


And we wandered around the Labyrinth at Smale Riverfront Park…



And we checked out the Cincinnati Bike Center…


Amazing park. 🙂

After stopping in for a drink to scope the place out last night, we stopped back into
Crave to have a drink and check out their menu. Did you know that they have a Saturday
happy hour that runs from 11-6? No kidding. I don’t know another place that does this.
I started off with one of their Summer Shandy signature cocktails…

Then our friends Gretchen and Martin joined us. We had a few drinks and ordered a few
dishes to share off of their happy hour menu. We ordered the Kogi beef tacos…

Korean chicken nuggets…

Chicken sliders…

Steak bites…

And we just had to try the S’more brownie for dessert…


When we were getting ready to leave, the place was packed…

Incredible place with very delicious yet surprisingly reasonable food.
I definitely see us spending many a Saturday afternoon at Crave. 🙂

I was contacted a while back by the architecture firm that designed all the water
features at Smale Riverfront Park. They saw the photos that I took of the park, and
they asked me to take some more photos of the park for them. Today, I finally got out
to photograph the latest gem in downtown Cincinnati.
