With it all stormy outside, what better place to be than in a restaurant without windows?

So we stopped into Sotto to grab a small bite to eat before heading home. We shared
a delicious caesar salad…

And then we shared the incredible Short Rib Cappellacci…

Amazing dinner. We can’t wait to eat at Sotto again very soon. 🙂

This afternoon 21C Museum Hotel played host to the November edition of The City Flea.

This City Flea was special. It was a collection of vendors with brick and mortar stores.

“All of your favorite small businesses under one roof right before the obnoxiousness of the
holiday shopping season tries to consume us all. Avoid the malls this year and start fresh
with the “Small Mall.”


















































The City Flea is always fun. And this one at 21c Museum Hotel was no exception. 🙂

When we woke up this morning, Milan had already pulled out most of the stuffing and one
of the squeakers from his new dog toy we just got him a few days ago.

He pulled the stuffing and squeaker right out through the dog’s mouth…

It was just like the days of the old Destruct-o-Dog. A little missing stuffing or squeakers
wasn’t going to stop Oscar from collecting dog toys though…

He had both of their new dog toys, a dog bone and of course, his turkey on his dog bed.

They’re pretty funny. And love their toys. 🙂

We stopped in to Metropole in the 21c Museum Hotel for a nightcap…






What a fun night. I ❤ my girlfriend. 🙂

We were all dressed up and looking sharp from the Igby’s one-year anniversary party
so we decided to finally stop in to the new Boca for a drink and take a look around.





WE ordered a couple cocktails, The Madison and Whisky Smash…

They were some delicious, delicious cocktails.

As we were getting ready to leave, Chef David Falk sent us over two glasses of champagne…



Beautiful interior and a gorgeous space. We can’t way tot actually have dinner at Boca. 🙂

Tonight, Igby’s was celebrating their one-year anniversary. It’s one of our favorite bars
downtown so we thought we’d stop by and help them celebrate. Apparently, we weren’t
the only people that wanted to help them celebrate…



The place was just as packed as it was when we went to their opening. And that’s a good
thing. I get the feeling there will be many, many more anniversaries in Igby’s future. 🙂

Sculpture by Casey Milliard sit just above the Serpentine Wall at Yeatman’s Cove along
the Ohio River. “Shark Girl on the Ohio River.” Pretty random.

Apparently, the theme of the day is construction. It’s everywhere in downtown Cincinnati.
It’s on Fountain Square as they continue to put up the US Bank ice rink…

It’s over at Carew Tower as they break out the holiday decorations…

It’s definitely at the site of the new Dunnhumby Center on Fifth Street…



And it seems like it’s at almost every intersection…

“The road to success is always under construction.” 🙂

We got the very slightest dusting of snow overnight…

Just enough to make feel even chillier on a morning walk. Brr.

HalfCut will soon be Cincinnati’s source for the best local and rare craft beers. According
to their website, you’ll be able to sample beers in their shop and buy Growlers (32&64oz.)
to go so you can enjoy fresher, straight-from-keg beer wherever you want.


HalfCut will be opening soonish at Twelfth and Walnut Streets in Over-the-Rhine. 🙂
