Dean's is the other half of the great produce rivalry that plays out every day in front of the Findlay Market market house. I haven't had much of a different experience here than I have at Gaudio's. The produce is really good there. The prices are also great, even though sometimes I find better deals on certain things at the competitor. We did really luck out at Dean's once. One Sunday my wife and I were there a little later in the day and were getting ready to finish up. Just a couple of things were left that we needed so we stopped at the produce section, floating between Gaudio's and Dean's. A row of watermelons lined the back of the area of Dean's and they loudly announced that their seedless, good-sized watermelons had just been reduced to $1 each. The announcement was enough to have us finish up our day at Dean's and we left with a bag full of produce and a couple watermelons under each arm. read more

Findlay Market

Great restaurants and shops in and near Findlay Market, Cincinnati!…read more We had a free day while visiting relatives, and any day is fun at Findlay Market in the mid-north of the OTR (Over The Rhine) area of Cincinnati! (Well, not Mondays when they are closed :-). Parking isnt free, but it's not too expensive, and we had no problem finding a space in the North Parking Lot between Findlay Street and the market. We came in through a covered outdoor walkway, with a few vendors and with clever sayings along the sides. Then a cute photo-op with a cartoon Reds statue. Then the market stretching left and right, full of fresh produce, meats and cheese, and ready-to-eat foods of all kinds. On our first walkthrough we just scanned left and right to see some of what's there. It was busy, but not uncomfortably crowded. Out the south door of the market onto Elder Street, there's several murals, and more shops and restaurants. We always stop in at Maverick Chocolate Co. for a few yummy samples from so many flavors. They used to make the chocolate here, and now it's made just across the river in KY, where you can still get tours and probably samples :-). We sampled around six varieties! And decided on four. But it was a hot day, so we decided to circle back later for our purchases. The staff was welcoming, and maybe they didn't really know that we would return, but they were still just as kind as can be :-). We walked west to Elm Street to the stop for the free Connector streetcar, just to take a little ride around town, partly to see some of the hundreds of murals around town! And we got off again, later, at the same stop. Right there at the west end of the Market building there's an outdoor bar and patio. I, myself, was ready for a little refreshment, and they poured me a delicious local bourbon cocktail, while others of us had local craft beers. We found shaded seating among probably 20 or more round red metal tables, with chairs that were really raucous when moved! The seats fill and empty in fits and spurts, and there"s a handful of backless stools at the bar, so if you wait a little, you'll find a place to sit. We dove back into the market for some freshly-made pierogis, and a to nearby bbq, too. And afterwards, we circled back to Maverick for delicious fresh-made artisanal chocolate :-). Yum, yum, and more yum! We saw so many places we want to return to! Findlay Market has everything! I'll post a very few of so many photos that we took of a full, fun day. It's a nice area to walk around, shop, eat, and drink. And it's a great spot to catch the Connector streetcar to get around OTR and downtown Cincinnati, to within a-few-minutes-walk of the porch-swings overlooking the Ohio River near the ballpark :-)

I recently stopped here when me and my wife were in town in cincinnati. I've been to Cincinnati…read moretons of times but I've never visited the Findlay Market. This place was better than most of the Markets that I've been to in recent memory! Some of them are bigger but this one is a medium-sized Market to say the least. They have great produce in one section by the parking. Great variety of stores. I do like the outdoor tables as well. The cons I will say about the Findlay Market are the parking. You are expected to download an app and pay for parking that way instead of just getting a QR code that will redirect you and put in your payment information and the other con is once you leave the Farmers Market there really isn't much to really see or do since it's kind of blighted from a 1 block radius of leaving the market

Sometimes honey or baked goods. You might also find a bite to eat! I particularly enjoy the market in the summer because then it's outside at Hoffner Park. In the winter it's inside the church up the road.

As a new resident perusing the streets of Northside, I happened upon a placard claiming a Farmers'…read moreMarket from 4pm to 7:30pm at the North Presbyterian Church. I walked in through the doors of the Church and found a smallish set-up with tables stocked with wares from various farmers and food producers. Fab Ferments was my first stop where I had utterly sublime Kimchi. Their juniper caraway saurkraut was super tasty too. I spoke with one of the two business partners of the fermented food operation and it was a pleasure to speak to the fellow who made the food I was enjoying so much. His affected hippiesque speaking style was appreciated, not overwhelming and lent authenticity to the experience. I was, after all, chowing down on rotting vegetables. But rotting in a truly remarkable way. Flute music was being played by another guy at a nearby table, and it seems that music is scheduled for proper marketing ambiance. The website lists some of the products to expect, but microgreens, honey, various root vegetables, gourmet cookies, spices and herbs, apples and other stuff I'm forgetting are there for your shopping convenience. As with most farmers' markets, bring cash. Wednesdays from 4-7:30pm. Street parking and probably lot parking available, though I walked it.

They do have some vegetables even when the regular farmer's market isn't in season, and it's also a good place to search out local snack brands. Did you know that Hen of the Woods chips come in white cheddar jalapeño? I didn't, but I couldn't leave without a bag. The place is as pricey as one might expect, and is likely to serve only as a source of these niche food items rather than a staple, but as such, it is successful.

DIRT: A Modern Market

I'm sorry, I really don't get this store…read more.. When we went the shelves were pretty bare, no one greeted us, and the cooler that looked like it houses veggies was completely empty. We were in on a Sunday around 1. So pretty typical biz hours? They are a curated mini-market of sorts making a home for niche locally made products like honey, jam, kombucha, coffee and sauces. I get the idea - and I appreciate it, I really do. I'm actually doing an event series called Cincy Made with nearly every vendor in this shop. I am a die hard supporter of local. But the part I don't get is what makes this shop any different from anything else? And that is straight up honest feedback. I am not trying to be mean, just an observation. There are just so many places that carry these locally made products now (especially at Findlay!) I just feel like they are going to have to do something different to separate themselves if they want to stay open longterm. I cannot see myself making a special trip here because most of what they have, I can just pick up where I am already doing my local shopping.

Cute little market with fun organic and local items--in the food and frozen department, as well as…read morelittle gifts and kitchen items. It's kinda like a curated boutique food market of sorts, in a lovely little space. I suppose some might think of this as hipster grocery shopping. If I lived nearby, it might be a place I'd get some special items for a dinner party, or in a pinch just to splurge on myself.

The service is really good. Seated promptly, waters come out promptly, minor order modifications handled easily. We have really enjoyed the variety of food.

We find the drinks particularly reasonably priced and the cocktails are good. We really like the blueberry one. The space is sunny and open.

It's a family-run spot inspired by their grandfather's bakery and Italian culture, truly living up to their motto of being "not just a café, not just a restaurant, but an experience that is authentically Italian." We ordered the Crostone, an assortment of Italian breads featuring different toppings. One with fresh salmon cream and Asiago cheese, and another with roasted cherry tomatoes and stracchino, along with their Bufalina pizza. For drinks, we tried the Mokaccino Ferrero Rocher and their seasonal Arancia Nutella Latte. Everything was delicious and made for a great lunch. Definitely stop by and check them out for a unique café experience!

Nothing was too sweet and I enjoyed everything. The inside had a nice airy feel to it. They have a cute little kids corner filled with books and fun stuff for the little ones to stay busy while waiting on meals. They close at 3 so I recommend enjoying it for brunch/lunch!

Being visitor from VA Beach, I asked what's the recommended dish, the server suggested omelette. But I wasn't in the mood for omelette so I saw shakshuka. I tried their Green Goddess version that has spinach (instead of tomato sauce) and feta. The food is a solid 3. I also ordered the Dubai Chocolate latte. It was a 3 as you taste more the milk than the chocolate syrup. I also got their chocolate chip banana bread.

I stood in line and patiently waited until I got to the front. When I did, I was rewarded with possibly THE GREATEST SALTED PRETZEL OF MY LIFE. The only other one I can think of that comes close is Miller's Twist in Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia. This pretzel was literally fresh out of the oven. The lady took the little pans/trays out of the oven, put the pretzel on the rack for like 10 seconds, and then boxed it up and handed it over to me. Damn near burned my hand by trying to take it out to take a picture lol. One bite in, and I knew this was one of the best things I have ever eaten in my life. It was salty, buttery, chewy, crispy. A perfect soft pretzel. I definitely should have bought more than one. By themselves, I could have probably ate 5-6 of them, no joke. This thing was perfect! Will be dreaming about this one for awhile!
