Looking for a charming city neighborhood to open a locally-owned restaurant? Mt. Washington residents say they have just the place for you.
In tonight’s brainstorming for the city’s Mt. Washington Neighborhood Enhancement Program (which I attended representing my very cool new employer greatercea.org), one idea came up over and over again from every group in the room. Mt. Washington is hungry for a new local sit down restaurant option that will serve as a social space in the community and draw young families to the area.
Combined with ideas on a community garden vocally supported at the meeting, a hyperlocal restaurant could likely make a large impact immediately, giving the residents a place to walk to, hang out at, and spend some cash.
So, investors and restaurateurs, I know of at least 40 dedicated advocates (and, if those 40 were representative of the community, many many more) that would gladly support and market this option. Go, check out this great community and see the opportunity to add some interest to a unique Cincinnati neighborhood.

Using this story as a cheap excuse to bring half a dozen home ($2.50/piece when you buy 6, $2.75/piece when bought individually), I stopped by after work and picked out an assortment.

On January 25th, MiCA’s original O’Bryonville store will bid adieu and join up with its sister store, MiCA 12/v in Over-the-Rhine. The new combined store will feature lines that were previously exclusive to each MiCA location. While both stores saw an increase in holiday shopping in 2009, owners Mike and Carolyn Deininger decided to combine their resources into one store in order to work on product development, their own artwork, and to give the full attention of both owners to customers at one location.
Mike Deininger said the success of MiCA 12/v and the growing Gateway Quarter area were a large factor in consolidating both stores to the Over-the-Rhine location. “While we have
loved being a part of the O’Bryonville Business District, the early success
and customer loyalty to our second store in OTR’s Gateway Quarter has
opened our eyes to the great potential of this historic neighborhood at
Cincinnati’s core.”
