#FridayFinds - Cancun Bar & Grill (Newport, KY)

As we were relocating early in 2022, we lived in temporary corporate housing for about two months.
Being that we eat A LOT of Mexican food, it wasn't good that there was one RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET. Walking distance.

The food at Cancun Bar & Grill was good. The only thing that saved us from eating every meal there was that they were on the pricey side. It was worth driving somewhere else - especially if I wanted a skinny.




If you'd like a treat - especially with a view or walking distance to the levy, this is a good one to try.  But be prepared to lighten your wallet a bit.

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Lita's Tacos (Florence, KY)

While we were on house finding trips, we were eating out a lot so lots of food pictures were taken.

We tried Lita's Tacos...
The food tasted good (though not good enough for me to remember what we ordered), but the portion sizes were small for the prices - so it has not been a repeat for us.  If I get a good coupon to cover having to order more than two entrees for two people, then we may swing back by.





Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Mai Thai (Florence, KY)

Mai Thai was one of those restaurants that we found years ago (before I took pictures to remember) and I had fond memories.  It is one of those places where I can have sushi and MBB can NOT have sushi.  I also remembered their Plum wine and couldn't wait to have it again.

On our first house hunting trip, we swung by to see if my memory was right...
It was - well worth the visit (and we have been back a few times since).


Plum Wine
(they have two - get the one that is a little less sweet than the other)

Miso Soup

Spring Rolls

Spicy Lava Roll

Volcano Roll

Pad Thai Noodles w/ Chicken

Tempura Cheesecake



Namaste.

#FridayFinds - 1883 (Cincinnati, OH)

I have a new favorite lunch spot when I am in downtown Cincinnati - 1883.
I have my favorite menu items and if I am out of town a few weeks and miss going, I start going through withdrawals.  :)

One thing I will share - there are different 1883 locations around the area and I heard that the chefs have freedom to change things up. The prices are also different - I got a surprise when I stopped by the Union, KY location.


Gumbo
(I have to be careful - sometimes there is a bit too much heat for me)

Brussel Spout Salad (half size)

CauliSprouts
(this is my main go - to)

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Pete's Garage

Pete's Garage had been on the "to try" list for awhile, so when it was suggested for out "goodbye" dinner - it was a no brainer.  The only down side - we had such a big group (good problem to have) that we couldn't sit in the cars. 
A big group also means a lot of food pictures and I'm not even sure what everyone ordered. LOL

If you can get in a car - definitely go for the memories.









Namaste.
