Deskey details.

Friday morning mimosas to celebrate some big wins this week at Deskey…

Americano Burger Bar.

Tonight, we went over to check out the brand new Americano Burger Bar on Race Street in downtown Cincinnati. Americano is the latest concept from Chef Christian Pietoso who owns both Via Vite on Fountain Square and Forno Osteria in Hyde Park…

The ceiling is pretty spectacular…

An American flag made completely out of Budweiser and Miller Lite cans…

We shared the Americano Burger, not pink with a half-order of the cajun seasoned fries…

And the mini corn dogs, which turned out to be not so mini at all…

The burger was outstanding. Definitely one of the best burgers I’ve ever had downtown. The mini corn dogs we really delicious as well. And we wished we would have ordered a full order of the cajun seasoned fries. They were incredible. Delicious stuff!

After we finished our burger, it was time for some shuffleboard…

Americano is fantastic. The burgers are out of this world. There’s a great draft beer list. And how can you possibly go wrong with shuffleboard? I see this place quickly becoming one of our favorite go-tos.

Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer: The Musical.

Tonight, we had tickets to see Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: The Musical at the Aronoff Center… 

It was a super cute show! “She said I’m cute! I’m CUUUUUUUUUUUUTE!” 🙂

Downtown details.

Someone did a drawling in the dirt on the front window of the old Dennison Hotel on Main Street…

#TBT Pause for paws.

Milan used to really love his chew toys…

We really miss that bud dog. A lot. 🙂

BRU Burger Bar.

This evening we stopped in to check the brand new BRU Burger Bar at the corner of Walnut and Sixth Streets…

We started with a couple of the Ballast Point Pineapple Sculpins…

And we decided to share the BRU Burger…

Just look at all that burger deliciousness…

That was one delicious burger! And the fries were on point too. Perfect! And then Genifer tried their Peach Cosmo and I had a Founder’s Breakfast Stout…

BRU Burger Bar has some great, affordable burgers that large enough to share, and a great draft beer list. We’ll definitely be back very soon! And often! 🙂

Lunch at V’s Cafe on Seventh.

After checking the new FC Cincinnati store, we swung through the new V’s Cafe on Seventh to grab some lunch to go…

I ordered the Not Another Club… Turkey with house maple espresso bacon, white goat cheddar cheese finished with a red pepper aioli on a flaky croissant bun…

It was a pretty delicious sammich…

And their deviled eggs were pretty unbelievable…

I also some of the best broccoli cheddar soup I’ve ever had. Genifer ordered the Shamrock pastrami sammich but somehow ended up with the Dagwood instead. She said it was good but she really had her heart said on the Shamrock. We’ll definitely be back for lunch at V’s Cafe on Seventh. Hopefully then Genifer can finally get her pastrami.  🙂

A big day for FC Cincinnati.

Today was a big day for FC Cincinnati. First, FC|C opened a retail space on the ground floor of their headquarters on Fourth Street. So today at lunch, we went to check out the FC|C new store…

We had to go up to FC Cincinnati Headquarters on the third floor to find someone to let us into the store…

We picked up a couple FC Cincinnati shirts as early Christmas presents. Right now the store was stocked with the same items that are available from their online store. We were told that in the next week or so new items would be arriving including a 3/4 zip-up and pullovers. And then we were invited to watch FC Cincinnati’s big announcement unveiling of FC|C’s first class of player signings!

The first ever player announced in the history of FC|C was former MLS Rookie of the Year and Chicago Fire defender, Austin Berry

There were 11 FC|C players in all that were announced today as part of the first class. It’s a terrific start to the full 24 man roster. And it was pretty awesome to get to watch today’s big announcement from the conference room at FC|C Headquarters!

It’s a pretty exciting time to be in Cincinnati! 🙂

Corners of our home.

Genifer started decorating our home for the holidays. Here’s our little tree…

Our little fake tree…

Our Charlie Brown Christmas tree…

And the wreath on the backside of our front door…

Even Oscar was getting into the holiday spirit…

He wasn’t happy about it but still, he was pretty pretty dang cute…

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! 🙂

Downtown details.

On our way to Redsfest, we couldn’t help but notice that it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in downtown Cincinnati. The Olympic Garage…

In the lobby of the Westin…

The big holiday tree on the Square

And in Carew Tower…

And then after Redsfest, we got a closer look at the tree on the Square…

And Arnold’s is also looking very festive…

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in downtown Cincinnati. 🙂
