#FridayFinds - Cortadito (Miami)

We really wanted to have Cuban coffee and pastries while we were in Miami...  
So off to Cortadito Coffee House we went.
It was amazingly good coffee, pastries and breakfast sandwiches.

The cuban coffee was so strong that we only got a small one and then got another coffee to enjoy with the food.

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Stephanie's Crepes (Miami)

Restaurant #2 on my last work trip in Miami was to a Lincoln Eatery, a room with many food choices.  I think everyone in the group went to a different restaurant.  
The full list of restaurants at the hall is at the bottom of the post.

I visited Stephanie's Crepes. It was yummy, but not filling... I should have ordered a side.

#FridayFinds - Limoncello (Miami)

Due to some recent rotations at work, I am no longer in a traveling position.  I fulfilled one last trip in the transition to Miami.  While there, we tried Lunoncello.  It was yummy, but I suspect that Miami should now be classified as a "high price city" if all of the prices are like theirs.

#FridayFinds - Whit's

We stumbled upon a custard shop and enjoyed out dessert.
Doesn't quite replace the places we miss in Toledo, but was good for the evening.



Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Bibibop

OK, so it's only a pop-up restaurant on Tuesdays, but I'll still put it in #FridayFinds.
This one is a pop-up in the Cincinnati Sky Walk.

I've been a couple of times and got the Chicken bowl both times. 
I'll repeat again, but I'll be the first to head someplace else if it fits in the schedule.


Namaste.

#FridayFinds - In Between Tavern

The In Between Tavern in downtown Cincinnati is close enough to the office that I've visited with some co-workers a couple times.  The food is good, but beware - the service is very slow. So slow that some of my co-workers have put it on the "no way, no how" list.  I'll still go, but I try to go super early before they get busy - if I don't lunch will become dinner by the time the food arrives.

#FridayFinds - Agave & Rye

We try to find a new restaurant for our anniversary...
This year, we tried Agave & Rye for our 15th.

The appetizers were great, the tacos were unique and amazing, but the price tag was on the higher side... It is a repeat for us, but probably only with gift cards. 

My pictures do not do the tacos justice.

Steak Egg Roll - DELICIOUS!

Tator Tots - a little dry

#FridayFinds - China Moon

We have been on a mission to find a Chinese Restaurant that has black pepper chicken...
I guess that I forgot to put out to the universe that it should be good black pepper chicken...
My Bad!

We headed to Walton, KY to try China Moon.  Yes, they had black pepper chicken.  No, it wasn't good.
The other dishes were good, and we will probably go back, but we definitely won't be having black pepper chicken again.

#FridayFinds - Paris Baguette Bakery Cafe

We went off exploring downtown Cincinnati for lunch and found one that was new to me for lunch.  I had explored there previously for an afternoon coffee/parfait.  I am including pictures from both trips in this post.

I do like this place for their coffee and pastries and will be visiting again.
I'm not sure that I'll return for lunch again though - "toasted" just isn't enough heat for me on the croquettes.

#FridayFinds - Alexxa f.n.a. Hexx (Las Vegas)

This is definitely our favorite brunch spot in Vegas, although the prices have started to get out of control since COVID. You've probably heard of them from me on this very blog.  

They have a new item on their menu.  I wasn't willing to order it since it was so unknown, but I got one pancake on the side and they brought me the toppings so that I could "try it".  Needless to say, I'll probably be ordering it on our next trip there!

Hubby's Fav: Cinnaroll Waffle

The breakfast potatoes are by far my favorite thing on the menu. Even though some come with my ometlet, we always get an extra side because Hubby and I will fight over them.

Meat Lover's Omelet
(If you aren't a fan of cheddar cheese, like me, please don't forget to make a substitution!!!)

My attempt to see if I liked Alexxa's Pancake Cannoli Stack before ordering it...
