For a couple days now, some of Cincinnati's best local restaurants have been celebrating Restaurant Week with some tasty deals. From Sept. 2nd - Sept. 7th, a 3-course meal at area landmarks such as Primavista, Tink's Cafe, and Washington Plaform will only set ya back $28.08. 

This weekend, Daveed's and Chalk better get ready for a BuyCincy staff invasion. For a full list of restaurants participating, along with their menus, and dates of participation, head on over to the Greater Cincinnati Independents website.
ListermannLabel01.jpgListermann's has enjoyed a reputation as one of the tri-states' finest brewery supply stores for over 15 years. The Listermann "Brewing Company", however, was just premiered this past week. BuyCincy met up with brewers at a beer tasting last Saturday to try out their newly approved "Wild Mild Ale."
bourbon.jpgWoodstone Creek's Straight Bourbon Whiskey, made locally in Norwood at Ohio's first microdistillery, debuted tonight at the Party Source's Craft Spirit Tasting event in Covington. 

Woodstone Creek is the first Ohio-made aged bourbon released since 1865. Bottles will be labeled with barrel number in limited edition releases one barrel at a time. Barrel #1 bottle #1 will be auctioned off September 6th at Gourmet Sensation to benefit Hospice of Cincinnati. 

Based on the quality of Woodstone Creek's Vodka, I intend to find a bottle soon.

Looking for a new hot spot for lunch?  At Bouchard's Anything's Pastable...anything is possible with pasta!  As a carb-lover myself, I was very excited to see what was cooking at this spot down at Findlay Market...
bizSpot.jpgMecklenburg Gardens has been one of Cincinnati's finest institutions since its inception in 1865. Patrons, menus, and neighborhoods have changed, but this spot in Corryville* remains a delightful look into Cincinnati's past. The floor in front of the bar dips noticeably to reveal nearly 160 years of wear, and the wall is covered in photos of former patrons who seem to be saying "drink up!"
If it seems like its been a long time since we talked about Javier's extending their hours for dinner and getting a liquor license, that's because it has.  Think January.  Before Taste of Cincinnati, before Opening Day, and even before the Great Blizzard of 08. 

However, The Cincinnati Blog is now reporting that Javier's dinner service and bar will be up and ready in the next few weeks. The hours don't look too shabby either, food service until 10pm and drinks until 2am.  We're not sure yet if these are hours Mon-Sun, but we sure hope so. We loves us some Javier's.

In the thick of summer I avoid the long lines at the more obvious and notorious ice cream establishments, in favor of some unique and treasured favorites. Aglamesis Brothers ice cream in Oakley and Montgomery, call it by just plain Aglamesis, has been enticing people well beyond my short life. The establishment just reached it's hundredth year, and has much of its original decor restored or preserved. I CRAVE the supremely dense chocolate shakes with homemade whipped cream and butter cookies, which I have been known to request in my father's infamous Aglamesis pick-ups.

Enzo's has been a neighborhood secret for Gateway Quarter workers and residents until now. Enzo's is announcing the start of its new delivery service, reaching downtown and uptown. Want to try breakfast or lunch? Just call or fax an hour beforehand, and order from the menu here.

So, maybe you know the College Hill Coffee Company and maybe you don't.  The shop has been the subject of several apperences in the nationally syndicated comic strip The Dinnette Set and was voted the best coffee shop in the city of Cincinnati by the readers of CityBeat.  However, there is more to this coffee shop than just a great cup of coffee.

This flavour diva recently hostessed a fun and charming cocktail and hors d'oeuvres party Saturday night and I definitely couldn't have pulled it off without help from three lovely helpers:  Stepf, Karen and Findlay Market!  Findlay Market is full of fresh and delicious ingredients and menu inspiration.  Here's what was cookin' and where I bought the ingredients...
