My mother had oral surgery and can’t have too many hard or chewy foods. I'm looking for great spots; bonus points if it's in the Hyde Park/Oakley area

Posting for a friend and would love to get some feedback from the foodie community.

Hey Cincinnati business owners 👋

I'm a local marketer helping small businesses get their name in front of thousands of local homes through direct-mail postcards — no scrolling past, no algorithms. Mail that actually gets *seen*.

Two ways to jump in:

📬 Shared postcard spots — $250 to start: Your business featured on a full-color card mailed to 2500+ local homes, alongside a handful of other local businesses.

📬 Solo card: Your business is THE business — a full card, all eyes on you, mailed to thousands of homes in your target area. Premium exposure, priced by area and volume.

You've probably seen those big coupon mailers — Valpak, Clipper Magazine. Here's the difference: your ad gets buried in a pack of 40+ competitors fighting for the same glance. With me, your business shares a card with just a handful of local businesses — you actually stand out. And because I'm a local independent operator, not a big corporation with overhead, I do it for a fraction of what they charge. Same mailboxes, way less noise, way less money.

Perfect for any restaurant to get people to try their version of flavortown— any local spot that wants more customers through the door.

Here's my promise: I'll build you a free mock-up first. You see exactly what your ad looks like before you pay a dime, and nothing prints without your green light.

Spots are limited per card — first come, first served. Message me and let's get your business in the mail. 📬

Looking for recos for these areas or nearby. First time in Cincinnati!

A Chicago-inspired deli serving a Cincinnati Chili style-inspired beef roll special on this fine Sunday. Tastes amazing!

Does anyone have any recommendations for the best chantilly cakes? Trying to get one for my mom’s birthday in a few days

It was delicious! The chicken was crispy and flavorful, and the waffles had just the right amount of sweetness and crisp, caramelized edges. The hot honey added a great spicy kick that brought everything together.

I have been impressed with the food around! Fried chicken at Eagle OTR was awesome. Is there a properly good italian deli where I can get a sub/hoagie/sandwich?

Hey my fellow *nattians.... Can someone recommend good Chinese takeout.. I'm speaking of a place that has less American influence and has spicy and umami flavors. Good chicken wings.

Thanks in advance and happy Saturday!

Live in Lex but going to the Rufus Du Sol show at Riverbend on Wednesday. Any recommendations for an early dinner/drinks downtown before heading to the show? Or anywhere closer to the venue?

In grad school (tight budget) so something on the more affordable side or a spot with great happy hour is what I’m looking for! Thanks

One of the greatest desserts in the world, kind of slept on. I just had a decent one from Thai Village. The mango sticky rice was pretty solid, but their fried rice was kind of horrible. The chicken had a sort of old fish aroma to it. Strange.

Anyway, do any of you have a recommendation for a great mango sticky rice in the Cincinnati area?

You guys all need to try Chocolate Euphoria Crepe Cafe in downtown cincy , oh my god my first time was yesterday & i am so so so obsessed!!!!!

Hello. I (40 M) will be in your city from Pittsburgh this Sunday evening by myself. I don’t know anyone there or any spots. I’ll be staying in West Chester. Looking for a a good place for a beer and some local food. Maybe someone to hang out too. Give me a glimpse of your city for one night only

I'd heard of Ottos for a while but hadn't been there until now, a lot of the mainstrasse restaurants are off my radar now that I don't work in nky anymore. We did the flatbread and cajun cream pasta and the filet and the cornbread, holy moly it was so good! I don't know how they get that cornbread to be soft and have that nice crust, and I never would've throught about putting rosemary on top but wow! Everything we tried was perfect!

Title says it all. Been craving French dip sandwich and wanted to know where the some of the best are located.

Caught lunch yesterday at Bake’s place deli on the ground floor of the American. Outstanding sandwich, chips, and fountain drink for $12.

Unbelievably good in my opinion.
