After years and years as a prototypical sleepy Cincinnati suburb, Deer Park has become something of a real estate hot spot of late. Over the past decade, scores of transplants have bought up the community’s cozy houses with wild abandon, bringing new energy to the northeast side city. Amongst the reasons to check out Deer Park is the city’s distinc...

Slimmed down and refreshed from a year in retirement from managing, Terry Francona didn't know if he wanted to do the job again. In need of a new skipper, the Reds didn't know if they could get Francona to join the club. Both sides got their answers rather quickly once president of baseball operations Nick Krall and general manager Brad Meado...

I have always disliked the term "restaurant concept." It sounds so detached from what I truly love about restaurants. You know, a sense of individual identity − a sense that the owner or chef has a story to tell. So when I heard about a new Italian concept that is set to open in Covington in early November, I wasn't exactly enthused. However, when...

When it comes to old-school Italian restaurants, no one in Greater Cincinnati does it better than Primavista in East Price Hill. The restaurant, which opened in 1989, is not a Sinatra-era lounge like Maury’s Tiny Cove – nor a checkered tablecloth, Italian-opera-filled joint like Scotti’s. But the classic Italian American dishes prepared by chef Chr...

Cincinnati celebrated its first Sacred Heart Italian Dinner in 1910—four decades before the first Skyline Chili opened and 20 years before Buddy LaRosa was born. Automobiles were so rare that neighbors raced out of their houses to gawk when a Model T rumbled down the street. The Italian dinner at Sacred Heart Church in Camp Washington, in other wor...

My dad liked to give me pointers in life, but at a critical moment in my life 70 years ago, I’m so very glad that I chose to ignore his advice. After serving in the U.S. Navy − stationed in South Philadelphia, where I discovered the popularity of pizza and hoagies − and after helping my mother and my aunt sell slice after slice of pizza at the San...

Open February 16 to July 28, 2024. Union Terminal - 1301 Western Ave, Cincinnati, OH. A volcano awakens. A city vanishes. On August 24, 79 A.D., the city of Pompeii was frozen in time by the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius. But what nature destroyed, it also preserved. Through 150 artifacts, POMPEII: The Exhibition tells the tale of a city...

Fans of the recently closed Dear on Hyde Park square have something to rejoice about: Turns out the closing earlier this year was simply a rebrand. Happily, the space hasn’t changed much. It still has the vaulted ceilings as well as the actual bank vault turned private dining room (this was a bank before Teller’s, Dear, and Al-Posto). The front doo...
