In the Gateway Quarter, there’s a restaurant called Senate that’s the darling of the Cincinnati
foodies. I’ve avoided this place like the plague just because it’s been so incredibly over-hyped.
But today on the way back to the office, I finally broke down and decided to try their burger.





And I ordered their fabled duck fat fries…

The burger and fries were both really good. But not the way this place was hyped, I really
expected both of these items to be the most amazing thing I had ever tasted. And sadly,
they just didn’t live up to the hype. But they were still good.

I guess it was a good thing to try once. But there are better burgers a lot closer to home.

I love this time of year. 🙂

When we were on our way back from our walk, we saw these chalk directions on the sidewalk
that must have been leftover from the opening weekend of Cincinnati Dreams Italy…
















I love stuff like this. 🙂

We went to Genifer’s nephew, Aiden’s soccer game this afternoon.



Aiden was in goal in the 4th quarter and didn’t allow a goal.


His team lost but Aiden played great especially in goal!

Genifer and I went to Findlay Market today for lunch. She had never been to Findlay Market.



Genifer got a burrito bowl from the relatively new burrito place…




I got a Bahn Mi sammich from Pho Lang Thang…






While we were at Findlay Market, we picked up a couple of pumpkins to carve next weekend.

Findlay Market always makes for such a fun and delicious afternoon

And it’s supposed to be gorgeous all weekend! 🙂

I figured out what they were building at Lytle Park. It’s a Bocce court. How cool is that?


I betcha it’s tied in somehow to the Cincinnati Dreams Italy exhibit at the Taft Museum of Art.
