After work this evening, we walked through the Northside Farmer’s Market…
We stopped at Urban Artifact to try their latest creation called Love Letter Peach Midwest Tart, have another taste of their Anaglyph Banana Midwest Fruit Tart and try their new Spicy Chariot Tart Cherry Gose…
Then we stopped a taco at Django Western Taco because it was National Taco Day!
And then we headed home…
It was a pretty good Wednesday in Northside! 😀👨🌾🍺🌮❤️

At the end of our street, all these cones were having a cone party…
We walked through an open house of a new home for sale around the corner from us…
It was nice. But it was waaaay out of our budget. We like our house just fine, thank you very much. We kept walking over to Boswell’s Alley for lunch…
We shared some Bos Bites…
And we shared a Super Grill…
YUM! The fire trucks were pulling out just after we passed by…
We stopped for a beer at Urban Artifact…
We had an Anaglyph Midwest Fruit Tart made with real bananas and a Tricorne Tart Pawpaw New England IPA that they collaborated to make with Sam Adams…
And we got to hang out with our new friends, Tayler and Chris…
It was another fun Saturday in Northside. 😀🍺🍻❤️

This afternoon we went back over to the new Taft’s Brewporium for lunch…
Garlic knots, 10″ pepperoni pizza, loaded tots and some shuffleboard…
More of the Brewporium was opened up this time, their space is huge…
Later, we met some new friends at Higher Gravity and caught the second half of the Michigan game. And then we walked down to Second Place for FC Cincinnati away match to St. Louis. Michigan finally pulled away from Purdue, and the FC|C match ended in a 2-2 draw. It was another really fun Saturday in Northside. 😀⬆️❤️

After the Reds game, we walked through Oktoberfest Zinzinnati 2017…
Samuel Adams and Urban Artifact collaborated on a beer for Oktoberfest…
And it was outstanding…
The Klaberheads were getting ready to perform as we were walking through…
We’ve been to every Oktoberfest since we began dating back in 2011. 😀🥨🇩🇪❤️

When we lived downtown, we used to love going to Taft’s Ale House down in OtR, even though we didn’t get there as often as we would like. When we moved to Northside, we noticed that Taft’s had a huge warehouse at the corner of Spring Grove and Mitchell Avenues. We hoped that they had a taproom but no such luck. The warehouse space was just a canning and distribution center. Fast forward a year or so and come to find out that Taft’s is indeed finally opening a tap room in the warehouse. And today was the soft opening of the new Taft’s Brewporium just down the street in Spring Grove Village….
It’s a huge space…
Complete with shuffleboard…
All our Taft’s favorites were on tap…
Taft’s Brewporium also serves food, mainly New Haven-style pizzas. From what I’ve read, New Haven-style pizza is a cross between old-world Neapolitan and New York-style pizza. It uses coal-fired ovens to create a thin, crispy, lightly charred crust. Hey, pizza is pizza. Let’s give it a try…
We couldn’t resist starting with some loaded tots as well…
And we got a 10″ pepperoni pizza. It was delicious!
And with that, we were stuffed. The official Grand Opening for Taft’s Brewporium is next Saturday. It sounds like a pretty fun event…
Great beers. Great pizzas and tots. Great place. We’ll definitely be back very soon!
Taft’s Brewporium is a terrific addition to the neighborhood! 😀🍺🍕❤️

This afternoon we walked down Hamilton Avenue to met Randy, Allison and Genifer’s nephews at Arcade Legacy Bar Edition...
It’s usually only open to adults. But on Sundays, they open it up to allows kids as well…
I’ve never heard of Mad Tree’s Dreamsicle before but it’s pretty good stuff…
We ordered some snacks. I didn’t expect the nachos to be so huge…
After playing video games until our fingers hurt, we walked over to Boswell’s Alley to get a bite to eat out on their patio…
I love that Boswell’s always has a riddle up on their blackboard…
It was another great Sunday in Northside. 😀🍺👽❤️

It very rare that we find ourselves over on the east side of town. But after chasing around after FC Cincinnati rally towels, that’s exactly where we found ourselves.
We decided to finally check out Streetside Brewery on Eastern Avenue over in the
East End/Columbia-Tusculum part of town for the first time. We’d tried a couple of their beers at Higher Gravity in Northside, and we were pleasantly surprised by how good they were. We were really excited to see what else Streetside had in store…
We arrived at Streetside just ahead of one of those beer tours…
Genifer has a Tea Bags and I had a Little Balls of Blue mixed with the Goseface Killah while we watched Arsenal take on Leicester City in the kick-off of the new EPL season…
Streetside offers a range of steamed sammiches as well…
In hindsight, I wish I would have tried a sammich. Genifer wishes she got a steamed soft pretzel. Oh well. Next time. Eventually, the beer tour moved on to their next location…
Awesome place. Great beers. Next time we find ourselves on the east side of town, we’re definitely stopping back into Streetside for a beer and a steamed sammich. 😀🍺🍻❤️

I actually had a Summer Hours where it didn’t rain. So we walked down to check out Higher Gravity Crafthaus, the new bar/craft beer & wine store in Northside…
Higher Gravity has 14 beers on tap. And you can check out their current draft list lineup on Untappd…
Higher Gravity also has over 400 cans and bottles on-shelf and in their cooler…
Their fully stocked walk-in cooler…
I had a Keypunch from Urban Artifact and Genifer had a taster of Jolly Pumpkin Artisan Ales Isla Estraña Saison Farmhouse Ale…
And we shared a Short’s Exeter sour with strawberry and lemon…
And a we had a couple of tasters of Streetside Brewery Little Balls of Blue and a Sumatra Mountain Brown from Founders…
Higher Gravity is such a cool place. It’s like a having a little Party Source just down the street from us. Northside just keeps getting better and better. 😀🥃❤️

Today was July edition of The City Flea at Washington Park. It’s been a while since we’ve been to our last edition of The City Flea. With FC Cincinnati playing away to those stinkers down in Louisville, we didn’t have very much to do today. At all. So we drove down into Over-the-Rhine and parked the Jetta in the Town Center Garage behind Music Hall on Central Parkway for just $3…
By the way, the surface lot just on the other side of Central Parkway next to Music Hall was charging a whopping $10 to park. So if you think about it, we kinda started our Flea seven dollars ahead! And speaking of Music Hall, it looked like they’ve been making a lot of progress on Music Hall’s rather extensive and elaborate renovations…
Someday I’m actually going to actually get one of these Ebbet’s Field ball caps…
Afterwards, we stopped into Sundry and Vice for a drink…
It was a great to wander around The City Flea again. And the drinks were delicious! 😀
