After Asian Food Fest, we walked up Race Street….
To go to Taft’s Ale House…
While we were there, we had to get some smoked wings with tots and beer cheese…
And on the way home, we saw the Streetcar out and about…

We walked up to Washington Park to check out the 6th annual Asian Food Fest…
We started our Asian Food Fest with a couple of Sapporo’s…
We got tried some very interesting Kimchi Poutine…
And we got some crab rangoons…
I love crab rangoons! Of course, we remembered to take a photo after we had already eaten three or four of them. And the Vietnamese empanadas we ordered were also devoured before we remembered to snap a photo.
Asian Food Fest is fun! Even more fun at Washington Park. Remember when it used to be in The Banks? 🙂

Tonight, we went up to Nippert Stadium with Cleve & Alyssa to take in FC Cincinnati’s fourth home match of the season. FC Cincinnati was playing host to the Pittsburgh Riverhounds, and they were having on Orange Out for tonight’s unveiling of FC|C’s new predominantly orange alternate third kit…

FC Cincinnati named some of the Bengal’s star players honorary captains for the match to further the Cincinnati-Pittsburgh sport rivalry…


This is one of my favorite parts of every match, where the teams come out of the tunnel and onto the pitch…





The Bailey unveiled their tifo for today’s match…
Elvis. “You ain’t nothing but a river dog.” Quality stuff.


The Bailey sat for the 16th minute in honor of the 16 Real Madrid fans who were murdered in Iraq by ISIS this week. The 16th minute of today’s match was also a moment of silence throughout the entire stadium…


GOOOOOOAL! CINCINNATI!










That Sprinkle donut was back again at halftime…












And the moment everyone was waiting for, tonight’s match attendance. It was announced before the match that over 20,000 tickets had been sold…
For the second time, FC Cincinnati set a new USL single game attendance record!




And at full-time, Cincinnati 1 Pittsburgh 0!





Another great match in a truly amazing atmosphere! FC Cincinnati broke their own USL attendance record. They had more people at their match than all but one MLS match including the Columbus Crew, who they outdrew by over 7000 supporters. FC|C is averaging 17,462 in attendance through 4 games, and the Crew is averaging 16,383 through 4 games. And on top of all that, FC|C moved into a tie for second place in the USL’s Eastern Conference! There’s something pretty incredible happening right now in Cincinnati! And we’re thrilled to be right in the middle of it! 🙂 #23375
FC Cincinnati’s next home match is on Wednesday, May 18th versus Indy Eleven of NPSL in the US Open Cup. Kickoff is at 7pm. See you there!

Today’s 513 Day! Time to celebrate all things Cincinnati! Genifer snapped this amazing photo of our beautiful Roebling Bridge on her walk home from work…
Then we had some delicious Skyline Chili for lunch…
Later, we saw the Streetcar roll by…
We lifted an “Old One & A Cold One“ at Horse Barrel to our wonderful city…
And we chuckled at this cute cartoon…
We love our Cincinnati. We hope everyone had a great 513 Day! 🙂

The parking garage at the corner of Sycamore and Seventh Streets continues to rise…
It’s already a massive structure. I wonder how high the actual parking structure is going to rise? And then, there’ll be an apartment building on top of the parking structure. YIKES! 🙂

On a whim, we went to our fifth Reds game of the season tonight…
The Reds were playing the Pirates again…

There were a couple of plays that went under review…


This play at second ended up in the Pirates manager, Clint Hurdle and Starling Marte both getting tossed out of the game…
Our friends Scott and Cathy were at tonight’s game as well…


Bryan Price wasn’t happy about Oldendorf getting tossed after the Reds pitchers combined to plunk four Pirate batters…

The Reds led most of the game that featured five home runs (one by Jay Bruce), six hit batters and four ejections. But trailed 5-4 going into the ninth. Joey Votto came on to work some magic for the Reds and reached base on a walk…





But there wouldn’t be any late game heroics tonight for the Reds. And the game would go on to finish 5-4 Pirates…




It was fun to get in another Reds game before they head out for a five-game road trip. 🙂
