Restaurant thoughts on Reds Opening Day, 2007


This post won't concentrate too much on the Cincinnati Reds and their great win over the Chicago Cubs. But I'll admit that I'm a huge baseball fan, a bigger Reds fan, and the Reds have dominated my thinking over the last week or so as I've gotten ready for another season. And I'll also admit that I think the Reds can have a very succssful year.

But other than that, I noticed a couple of interesting articles recently that made me think of the Reds. The first one is this one from the Boston Globe. They're catching up with Reds pitcher Bronson Arroyo, who used to pitch for the Red Sox, then was traded to the Reds where he has done awesome.

It's cool to read how a non-Cincinnatian sees the city. Not just Bronson, but also Steve Morse, the Globe reporter. Check out how they both describe Mt. Adams:

"It's nice and chill up here. It is its own community, and I'm still right near the park," Arroyo says, pointing down the hill to the shiny, four-year-old Great American Ball Park by the river's edge. The lights of Kentucky shine across the water. The view is similar to peering into the valleys of Los Angeles, on a smaller, though still impressive, scale.


Arroyo talks about some of his favorite restaurants, including Teak Thai.

The other article is news that Jean-Robert de Cavel has decided to open a restaurant in the new Gateway Quarter of Over-the-Rhine. I'm not too interested in the neighborhood building aspect of this. (Actually, I am, but I don't think this blog is the place for it. And this can be a touchy subject to some, so I'm not going to touch it here.) Either way, this is probably a big coup for that area.

But what really got me thinking about the Reds was all the talk about Broadway Commons as a viable place for the current stadium to be built. Take a look at the third picture on this page, and you'll see the proposed area of benefit that this site would have created, pretty close to where the new Jean-Ro restaurant will be.

Anyway...Baseball's here! Are you as excited as I am?

David, can you possibly help a North Carolinian find a nice restaurant in Cinci or N. KY for my niece's bridesmaid's luncheon in November, please? I told her I'd host it but have no clue! If so, I'm at rivi72@hotmail.com

Anonymous,

Bridesmaids luncheons aren't my specialty, never even been invited to one. But I'll ask around and make it the subject of a post coming soon.

The sweetest place in the whole city would have to be the Bonbonerie in Obryonville. You can reserve the small tea room for parties, which is a popular choice for bridesmaids around here. Another very sweet place is Greenup Cafe in Northern KY, which has extremely delicious pancakes, omelettes, and the most precious desserts you have ever seen. Let me know if you need more ideas!
