Don't dwell on it for too long, though, because you've still got to decide what kind of spices you want; your desired sauces or dressings; what kind of noodles, etc, etc. As you munch later on, you might try to count what other Cincinnati Vietnamese restaurants you had ordered this dish from; we promise you won't need to relinquish your chopsticks hand to add it up. ]]> http://www.buycincy.com/flavor/2008/05/cilantro-vietnamese-bistro-foo.html http://www.buycincy.com/flavor/2008/05/cilantro-vietnamese-bistro-foo.html Restaurants 45219 Cilantro Vietnamese Thu, 15 May 2008 11:47:04 -0500 Northside: Farmers Market Starts June 4
Blueberries.jpg

Buy Cincy spends many a weekend in Northside at the fabulous local restaurants (Melt, Slims, Honey...) and the eclectic businesses (ShakeIt Records, Bughouse Video, Casablanca Vintage Clothing Store...). Add some of the city's coolest bars (the Comet, the Gypsy Hut, and of course, Northside Tavern), and you've got a great place to play.

Soon, we'll be hanging out there on Wednesday nights, too, when the Northside Farmers Market opens for the season.

But nestled in Clifton Heights, Maki Express is giving its patrons a simple and pleasurable experience that's sure leave some extra cash in your pocket (for another visit maybe?).

tn.jpg
O'Bryonville, that quaint strip of Madison Road wedged between Walnut Hills and Hyde Park, is BuyCincy's kind of place: Independent, locally owned and operated businesses as far as the eye can see. Some of these businesses (The BonBonerie, Bob Roncker's Running Spot and others) have been there for decades, and we look forward to working our way down the strip. But it's one of O'Bryonville's newest businesses that caught our eye recently, The Coffee Shop on Madison.

kist_1.JPG The official start of the farmshed season at Findlay Market (although many vendors have attended occasionally throughout the winter depending on what they had available) is this coming Saturday, April 19th from 8 - 6. I contacted the attending farmshed and outdoor vendors and asked them what they'd be bringing to market on opening day. Many vendors will also be offering a raffle item for the Farmshed Spring Kickoff. Raffle tickets can be purchased from the individual vendors.

(According to Cincinnati Locavore, both markets at Findlay Market and Burlington open that day!)
It doesn't get much more local than farmers markets, and our region has a bounty. Now, there's a comprehensive (but unofficial) Web site for local farmers markets: www.cincinnatifarmersmarkets.org.
Check it out, and don't forget your reusable totes for all that produce!

For fans of Riverside Korean Restaurant in Covington, BuyCincy has some fabulous news: Cafe Riverside, a Korean tea and pastry shop, opens Monday in the former Mad Cup at 514 Madison Ave. in Covington. The cafe will serve about a dozen varieties of tea, plus coffee and Korean baked goods -- think walnut buns, sweet rice cakes and red bean fillings*. At night, expect Korean wine and dessert wines, plus appetizers from the adjoining restaurant.

Cafe Riverside is owned by Mark Jang, who also owns Riverside. Cafe Riverside will serve two purposes: Accommodate overflow crowds on weekends and expose Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky to a different side of Korean culture.

New owner Chris Bronger made over the decor, and the menu is still full of diner standards and comfort foods, with breakfast items, burgers and malts.
Bronger resurrected the Hathaway's specialty salad - a scoop of cottage cheese with yogurt, coconut, walnuts, raisins, fruit and apricot dressing. He also added steak and eggs, a mushroom-and-Swiss burger and a couple of healthier choices, a grilled chicken salad and sandwich.
We're anxious to know what the new space looks like.  Let us know in the comments!

One would have to assume that if approved, the Mexican eatery would move from a lunchtime-only restaurant into one open for dinner.  We are all for adding another affordable dinner option downtown, but this might mean more time on the treadmill every week.  If this happens, it is going to be hard to resist going to Javier's multiple times a week, especially for the BuyCincy staffer located exactly two blocks away (that would be yours truly).
