We finally got to eat something.

After wandering around OtR for a while, we stopped a Palomino for a snack.
Who knew that Palomino had amazing deviled eggs?

Later, we had dinner at Moerlein Lager House. I had their meatloaf...

And Genifer had their Pork Shank...


Incredible dinner. As always. :)

Pre-game meal.

My buddy, Chuck and I headed to Palomino to grab a bite to eat and watch a bit of the
Final Four game before heading down to Great American Ball Park for Opening Night.

I had this Sicilian Meatball Flatbread. SuperYum FTW!!!

After the basketball game, we went to Palomino.

Here's the view of Fountain Square as seen from Palomino's bar...

They now have happy hour all day, every day. We had some beers and calamari, crab
and artichoke dip and four cheese pizza with roasted red peppers. SuperYum!

And I became the Mayor of Palomino on Foursquare!
Now, I'm the mayor of 12 14 places in downtown Cincinnati!

After work, I stopped at Palomino to watch some hoops.

Baseball game #26!

I was kinda dreading this early afternoon ballgame, the rubber game of the Cubs-Reds
series. I had a really bad feeling that it was gonna be a scorcher.

Being a really hot afternoon, could I get random mascots wandering around the ballpark?


Awesome! The game wasn't nearly as crowded as last night. And everyone was moving to
get out of the sun. My parents and I moved up a few rows up so we could sit in the shade.

There was also a wonderful breeze blowing in off the river. And it wasn't that bad.




But this game belonged to the Redlegs. They took two out of three to win the series.

It was great to watch the whole Cubs-Reds series. It was weird watch your two favorite
teams play each other though. But I'm happy that the Reds stretched their lead over the
Cardinals to 5 games!

After the ballgame, we went and had a bite to eat at Palomino. SuperYum!

What a great weekend of baseball!

After the event, I went to Palomino.

I had an amazing Chicken Club. Oh geez, I was starving and the sammich was delicious!

All day, every day happy hour at Palomino now? FTW!

So I guess stop in whenever for happy hour and stay for all the leggy women?

Cincinnati SantaCon.

And on the heels of the Santa Skates was the Cincinnati SantaCon.









And then all the Santa's headed off to the bars to spread holiday cheer...








And then the change of venue tweet went out. Back to Fountain Square!




Change of venue!

Off to O'Malley's in the Alley...

Change of venue!


Buddy the Elf was still struggling with the escalator...

And onto Palomino for free pizza...






The Santacon continued on to a total of 28 bars around downtown. But we called it a day.
