I’ve found my new favorite restaurant – Local 127 in downtown Cincinnati. A few weeks back we happened to stumble into the newly opened restaurant and wow what a find.

The Cincinnati Business Journal reported that the Steven Geddes, who has worked at Aureole in Las Vegas and with Wolfgang Puck, serves as the chef. The front of the house guy is Craig Nuncio and is experienced at making guests into friends.

The restaurant’s mission is so focus on using local ingredients to the fullest and to make the experience one based on gastronomy rather than just eating out. In my opinion, they succeeded on all fronts.

The chef made his way to our table not once, but two or three times to check on our experience. The front of the house dude, came by regularly to be sure we were having an enjoyable experience.

Our server was a little green and a number of questions yielded less than flattering results – but the visits by the chef and co. more than made up for any shortcomings by the server.

In an unusual twist, the menu listed the names of the companies that supplies the ingredients for the restaurant. How’s that for transparency.

At the bar, a conversation was taking place about ham auctions and $1,500 hams. Where else are you going to hear a conversation like that in the tri-state area?

Also, be sure to checkout their great selections of bourbon. One of the best I’ve run across on the north side of the Ohio River!

If you’re a foodie looking for a great experience, I highly recommend Local 127.

There are a number of apps in the itunes store for tracking miles while riding your bike, but I choose B.icycle. Dispite its funny name and sometimes akward interface, I’d say I’m a fan.  I especially love the option to e-mail yourself the results after the trip (see below.) There’s also a link to interface with google earth so you could relive that infamous ride around the block.

Ohio's Oldest Pharmacy

Between a bakery and a bank, this sign marks the spot of Ohio’s oldest pharmacy in Hillsboro, Ohio. The location is now an antique offering advertising signs and pharmacy collectibles. Looking through the windows, it looks like the last pharmacist just turned off the lights back in 1964 leaving more then 100 years of store in place.

Google street views are not available for Hillsboro to confirm, but this should be the correct information about the store.

Like thousands of Americans, I too had my time with Flat Stanley. Since Dayton is Birthplace of Aviation, Stanley got to see the sights of the world famous aviators.

Trip to Bardstown, Ky

A trip down the Kentucky Bourbon Trail - What could be better in August than a trip to the home of bourbon. We only stopped at two of the distilleries, but that was enough to make me want to go back for more. This trip – Maker’s Mark and Woodford Reserve. Next trip, who knows – but am looking forward to it whenever it is!
