Earlier this month, a new product designed by a Cincinnati company was deemed museum-worthy. The GreenBird House, from GreenBird LLC, was recently added to the Robert C. Williams Paper Museum in Atlanta, Georgia (which, according to their website, is an “internationally renowned resource on the history of paper and paper technology”).

Walking into Ludlow Wines is unique in that one immediately feels at home inside, but never loses the titillation that a window shopper gets when they finally venture inside a shop for the first time. The former is probably due to the immensely friendly staff, while the latter is likely due to the constantly changing (and always eclectic) wine and beer selection. The two exist in this conjunction, though, because Ludlow Wines is unquestionably a pedestrian shop.

Emanu opened last summer on the corner of Montgomery and Losantiville with much ado. The sign had been there peaking our interest for quite some time…and we waited and waited and WAITED! Then – yeah! It opened!
I’ve been quite a few times now and am overjoyed each and every time I go. The food is definitely unique – somewhat akin to Indian food – but it’s so refreshing! The flavor is so unique – it’s something you all must try!

BuyCincy would like to welcome Feoshia from CincyBurb. She will be contributing frequently, giving us the locally-owned best of the Cincy ‘burbs.
When it comes to jewelry, I’ll admit I’m a girly girl. I like sparkly things. That’s probably why over and over again I’ve gone to Ute’s Unique Lifestyle Jewelry in Montgomery’s Heritage District.
Owner Ute Kremer opened the jewelry and accessory shop in 2005. What makes the place really special is that she makes much of what you find there. She personally chooses the other pieces from jewelry makers all over the world.
She carries earrings, necklaces, rings, bracelets, purses and more. She also has a selection of bridal jewelry, a selection is pictured on the left.
“All the designs are my own,” says Ute. “Everything is one-of-a-kind and unique.”
She works with glass and semi-precious stone, as well as sterling silver and antiqued metal. If you catch her at the right time, you can see her making a new piece in her work space in a back room of the shop.

So – I grabbed my friend Otis and off we went!
The Bluebird Restaurant is on Montgomery Rd in Norwood and is a quaint, cute breakfast spot that has been serving breakfast to Cincinnatians for over 35 years! (not always as Bluebird).
Originally, the spot was a Country Kitchen for 30 years, then it was Cafe on the Pike and for the past two years, it’s been Bluebird Restaurant and it’s great!
It’s very clean and refreshing and has all the original diner things like the round counters you sit at, etc…
