Does Ashton Kutcher need to give it a big kiss on the
lips to remind you how sexy it is? Does it need to be remodeled, painted red or
offer bacon ice cream to get you excited? I'm talking bout Dutch's Wine
Merchant and Beer Dock on Erie Avenue in Hyde Park. Sure it's been around for
60 years and yeah it's kind of a hole in the wall. But next time your walking
to the neighboring UDF for a double dip of frozen yogurt or a 4-pack of toilet
paper, stop and appreciate it for what it is -- mature, tasteful, and undeniably
interesting.

While other Cincinnati restaurant owners stamp clever slogans on their menus and hire PR directors to handle media outlets, Anne McManus uses an old, often forgotten formula to run Carl's Deli in Hyde Park - word of mouth. It's a shocking strategy and an edgy game plan given our changing times. But it's just crazy enough to work.

Slowly
emerging in Cincinnati, a line of no-nonsense bartenders are looking to
eradicate the overly-hyped, dumbed-down cocktails and flavorless
combinations that have become so prevalent today. You won't, for
example, find a Strawberry Daiquiri at Rookwood Bar and Restaurant,
where Rommel Wells is mixing serious, handcrafted drinks.
He is, so to speak, raising the bar with his nod to classic, respectable beverages filtered through his own creative lens. In a world of noisy, drink-slinging madness, Wells breathes life into the bar experience.

They're calling it "Wheels on Wheels," I'm calling it the best thing to happen to my lunch break in a long time. Cafe de Wheels, the burger truck taking Downtown and Clifton by storm has added another tool in its arsenal, Thursday afternoon Segway deliveries in and around Downtown.In case you haven't noticed, its been cold. Like really cold. And, although my hunger for the best burger downtown is nearly crippling, so is the 16 block roundtrip walk for Cafe de Wheels from my office during my lunch break.
