That’s a lot of Rhinegeist…
Pretty flowers and sunlight at Lytle Park…
Looking back down Fourth Street…
And pretty evening clouds over downtown Cincinnati…

Tonight, we picked up a couple of pizzas from Pi Pizzeria on Sixth Street…
We had a buy one pizza, get one free through sqwid.com. So our bill was really cheap…
We got a thin crust The Hill…
And a deep dish South-side Classico…
We got a lot, a lot of pizza. But it was such delicious stuff!
YUM! Great stuff! And there’s lots of leftovers for lunches! 🙂

Today was the first Second Second on Main of the season. SSoM is OtR’s eclectic monthly street festival on Main Street. It’s hard to believe but SSoM is entering it’s 11th year of Sunday Fundays!
We stopped into Lucca, who were celebrating their one year anniversary. Such cute stuff…
And I loved this painting at Urban Eden…
It started to look like it might storm…
But it didn’t. A drop or two and then the storm clouds blew right over. We found the home of OtR’s new florist, Gia & The Blooms…
And we hope these guys are back in for the July SSoM…
We’d definitely like to check out their jerk! We didn’t get a chance to check them out today.
It was another great SSoM! July’s edition of Second Sunday on Main will take place on Sunday, July 10 with the theme of MAINpride – featuring the annual Drag Races and more, presented by Below Zero Lounge. A very appropriate celebration of all things pride in the wake the horrific tragedy that just took place in Orlando. 😦

We had breakfast at First Watch on Seventh Street this morning. Little-by-little over the last few weeks, they’ve been doing some redecorating of their interior. It’s a very welcome update. It looks very rustic and farm-fresh now…
Brand new look inside, same great breakfasts…
And The Elevated Eggwich was one of the best breakfast sammiches I’ve ever had…
Even after all this time, First Watch is still one of the best options for breakfast in all of Central Business District. 🙂

Today was just a normal Thursday. Nothing really noteworthy happened all day. The highlight of our evening was ordering LaRosa’s calzones and salads for dinner…
YUM! Taken with Instagram. 🙂

Tonight, we went over to Fountain Square to check out our first Reggae Wednesday of the PNC Summer Music Series…


My favorite Reggae band, The Ark Band made a surprise appearance…
They were the playing with Yabba Griffiths, who was all the way from Jamaica…
Just Jerks: Ena’s Jerkmania food truck was on the Square serving up delicious Jamaican Jerk Chicken dishes…

We shared the Spicy Jerk Chicken and rice box with fried plantains and maniac sauce…
Holy geez was it ever delicious and spicy! I’ll never get tired of looking at Carew Tower…

This evening we walked up Vine Street into Over-the-Rhine to check out the brand new board game parlor called The Rook…
The Rook is Cincinnati’s first Board Game Parlor, and features nearly 1000 board games along with a full service bar and restaurant serving game night classics!
Growing up, we used to play Rack-O a lot…
I remember playing Hi-Ho Cherry-O…
And classics like Chutes and Ladders and Candy Land…
They had all sorts of drinks with nostalgic touchs like adding a candy necklace garnish, or a pop rock or pixie stick cover rim…
Genifer started with a Tequila Sunny D Rise…
We ordered everything from the “Straight from the Game Table” section of the menu. We tried the traditional classic rolls, bacon & sharp cheddar dogs and the cheesy buffalo chicken tots…
Everything was really good. But hands down the winner was the traditional classic rolls…
Then we got into some games. We started Chutes & Ladders and Candy Land…
And then we dove into some Sorry!
Genifer also tried the Capri Against Humanity drink…
How fun is that? We also played a few rounds of Exploding Kittens and multiple hands of Uno! It was a really fun trip down memory lane. And definitely one that we look forward to taking again very soon! Such a few evening! 🙂

I got us one-day passes to the Bunbury Music Festival down at Sawyer Point for Genifer’s birthday back in April so we could see The Killers. Genifer loves The Killers. They played at the casino a couple years back. We missed out on getting tickets but we got to listen their show. We said when they come back that we’ll definitely be getting tickets. And that day is finally here. It seemed liked such a long time away when I bought the tickets. But it’s finally Bunbury Friday, and we couldn’t be more excited…
Time for The Killers!!!
And there was the added bonus of the Reds Friday night fireworks…
You can hear the fireworks in the background…
Such an incredible night. So much amazing music. And the The Killers were just outstanding. Click to see all the photos we took on Friday at the Bunbury Music Festival 2016.
