We went to Cincinnati yesterday and spent the day with Jim Krupa and Rees. Visited Findley Market, originally a German market started by Bavarian (I think) settlers in Cincinnati sometime in the 19th century, maybe 1870 or so. Wonderful place. Want fresh fish? they've got it. veg? ditto...sausage? what kind? what animal? bison? duck? camel? hey, it's there...a deli? yep...serious cheese? yes. Mediterranean shop with 50 different EVOO's? It's there, but here may be more than 50.
So there's IKEA, Jungle Jim's, Banasch's (fabric store, maybe the only one still existing in a 300 mile radius of central Kentucky...), and now a REAL market...
On top of which, we visited a restaurant called Nada, where we had some crazy drinks, the craziest of which was Phil's margarita that had this tequila infused with arbol chiles. It packed quite a punch, and I plan to try to replicate it.
