Happy Chicks Bakery

 

Yay! An all vegan bakery! And I got my birthday cake here.

 

Yup. All vegan. And some gluten-free, too. But they say not 100% because cross-contamintion can occur.

 

I asked for pumpkins and a batman symbol. :) Love it. Next time I will see how much 3d stuff costs. I saw a wedding cake being made. I nearly swooned. I want a wedding cake. A gigantic vegan wedding cake.

Tacocracy in Northside

 

I took lots of pictures of the place, but not food. UGH.

Bretzel OTR

 

Yay! Another place I can get vegan dessert and it's German.

 

I love that there are not too many offerings. People doing one thing really well.

 

Good prices in my opinion. I got two twists: cinnamon sugar and dark chocolate.

 

Bretzel is in a historic building which I also love. Bakersfield assured me it was.

Venice on Vine

 

This pizza place has vegan cheese! $2 extra, but it's worth it.

 

Power inspires progress. Venice on Vine gives jobs to inner city residents who may otherwise have a hard time finding a job and give on the job training.

 

I got a coffee in a cute mug! And...I forgot to take a picture. Blah! Maybe I can get more pizza Saturday on my Bday and take pics!

Heartical

On Vine St. near Findlay Market, sits this tiny shop that has mostly all vegan food in it. There was some fish and things with honey, but they have lots of alterntive meats, vegan mayo and cheese. They have soap and beauty products, too. I don't know if those are all vegan though.

 

 

 

I got these chicken drumsticks to eat with some rice noodles I got from Saigon Market.

 

 

They actually tasted like dark chicken meat. Which is not my favorite. And neither was the curry sauce, but I may get it again if can't find Gardein Chicken. They would be good with sweet and sour sauce.

Thai Express in Clifton

It looks so small and unassuming every time I walked by to go to my bus stop. A friend from work told me about it maybe two years ago. Finally, I went in.

 

 

I tried the Soy Sauce Noodles dish. Definitely what I was looking for! Lots of veggies and fried tofu. Next time I will see if I can get light oil though.

 

 

 

Veggies spring rolls. I can't pass them up.

 

It's so tiny in here. There are two small tables in the window. Mostly, everyone gets take-out.

Tucker's Restaurant

 

Such a nice view on the way there. This is a place where if you were visiting Cincy and wanted to know where the locals go this is it. On the way here, a guy told me how he had to buy drugs on the street because he was in an accident and the drugs from the doctor are too expensive. Then he went on his way and I went on mine.

 

This place is amazing. Liberty & Vine everyone.

 

I can catch them on Tuesday.

 

Jim Tarbell is right up my alley. Cincinnati fixture. I will definitely be writing him in.

 

It's so quaint in here. A writer's dream. All the locals come here.

 

This is Joe. When I came in he asked if I was from out of town. Ha. (totally for locals! I love it!) It had been too long since I had been in. Really. Within 6 minutes of sitting down this place makes me smile and reaffirms my love for OTR as my home.

 

I had the vegan chili (made by Joe).

                                                            Then I had a vegan burger without the bun because they didn't have any vegan bread. Which was fine. It tasted great.

 

The super salad was recommended and it was great.
