There was a lunch at Arnold’s to celebrate my 5-year anniversary today. I had a burger and a Braxton Graeter’s Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip Milk Stout…

It’s nice to feel appreciated. 😀🍔🖐️🍾❤️
On our way home from Higher Gravity, I saw the remnants of what looked to be a bear sticker on one of the windows of the empty retail space at the Gantry…

I thought it was kind of neat. And I like bears. 😀🐻❤️

Today was gorgeous. The sun was out and the temperature was in the mid-70s. Higher Gravity had their garage door open for the first time this year. So we decided to stop in for their Thursday night Meet the Brewery featuring three beers from Ballast Point…

They had Ballast Point’s Aloha Sculpin IPA with notes of mango, pineapple and guava, Sour Wench Blackberry Ale and Willet Sea Monster Bourbon Barrel Imperial Stout. We also had a taster of Founder’s Oatmeal Stout on nitro…

We made Higher Gravity’s Instagram stories…

It was such a pretty evening…


The Meet the Brewery events at Higher Gravity are always tasty and fun. 😀🍺🍻❤

I was running a couple of errands around downtown this morning. And on my way back to the office, I saw this little guy in the crosswalk at Sixth and Walnut Streets…



I wonder what his story is? It reminds me a lot of the Toynbee Tiles around downtown. I’ll have to keep an eye out to try to see if there are any more of them around downtown Cincinnati. 😀🏙️🤖❤️

We ordered another delicious half & half pizza from Chameleon for dinner tonight…



And we had to get some Nono BBQ boneless wings as well…


I love Chameleon’s pizza and wings. We have some really great pizza options in our neighborhood. And I really love that. 😀🍕🐔❤️

You forget just how pretty the mornings are when the sun is actually out…

It was amazing how different the sky was when we were just about to head out…



What a beautiful way to start the day. Good morning from Northside. 😀🌄❤️

Recently, I found an unused Downtown Gift Card while I was organizing. Over on DowntownCincy.com, I was scanning the list of all the restaurants that accept Downtown Gift Cards looking for something new and different from lunch. I noticed that one of the participants was Spoon&Cellar at the new Holiday Inn just around the corner from our office over on Seventh Street. I had Spoon&Cellar’s club sammich a while back and it was really good. So today, I decided to use a portion of Downtown Gift Card and get a Spoon&Cellar Steakburger with bacon for lunch…



That was a really excellent burger. Nothing fancy just a really good burger. 😀🍔🍟❤️
