What’s Next in Neurosurgical Care Technology is advancing the care of brain tumors, spine treatment, and strokes—and Mayfield leads with brain and spine breakthroughs in our region.

rom utilizing machine learning for quicker evaluation of stroke patients to easing the burden of multiple visits into one appointment for a brain tumor patient, Mayﬁeld Brain & Spine continues to innovate in diagnosis, treatment, and surgery. Here are a few ways Mayﬁeld is changing the future of neurosurgical care. I N N O VAT I O N A N D T E C H N O L O G Y BREAKTHROUGHS IN SPINE SURGERY

Advancements in instrumentation and the use of technology to place implants in the spine are improving eﬃciency and safety for patients undergoing complex spine surgeries. “If you look at spine surgery in the last 20 years, there’s been an exponential growth in new technology,” says Dr. William

Tobler, spine specialist at Mayfield Brain & Spine. “What used to be very large surgical procedures, we are now doing as outpatient [procedures]—a decade ago, patients would stay in the hospital for five days or more for lumbar fusions.” Through technology and focusing on the patient, Mayfield Brain & Spine is a leader in achieving high satisfaction from patients. “A focus for Mayfield is that we believe the patient should be at the center of the picture—not the doctors, not the organization,” adds Tobler. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ALERTS D O C T O R S A B O U T PAT I E N T S W I T H STROKE EMERGENCIES

When a patient with stroke symptoms is admitted to the hospital, they undergo a routine

CT scan. Cincinnati-area hospitals adopted a machine learning tool that offers quick detection of life threatening artery blockages during the scan. If a large blocked artery is detected, it sends an alarm along with the imaging to a network of doctors before a human radiologist can look at it. “[It] gives us an avenue to make decisions remotely,” says Dr. Andrew Ringer, Mayfield Brain & Spine chairman, neurosurgeon, and specialist in stroke and brain aneurysms. “Mayfield has been instrumental in making it available everywhere—we want this emergency care to be readily available in the community.” The speed at which a decision can be made and a plan is enacted is critical in stroke patients. Nurses, technicians, the physician team, and transport systems have to be in sync to

I N PA R T N E R S H I P W I T H M AY F I E L D B R A I N A N D S P I N E

transfer patients to the proper facility with a doctor prepped and ready to perform the necessary procedure. “Emergency cases are very time sensitive,” adds Ringer. “We’re saving 30 to 60 minutes, which is invaluable when it comes to strokes.” ADVANCING BRAIN TUMOR DIAGNOSIS METHODS AND TREATMENTS

Brain tumors are rare but complex, and Mayfield surgeons are among the first to use cellular markers during surgery to ensure a more complete removal, and to implant therapies that keep killing tumor cells after surgery. Local patients seeking brain tumor care also benefit from Mayfield’s involvement in multidisciplinary Tumor Boards with the region’s leading health systems. “Brain tumors are a difficult diagnosis and we don’t

want patients to have to travel 600 miles out of the city for care,” says Dr. Vincent DiNapoli, brain tumor specialist at Mayﬁeld. These collaborations eliminate the need for a patient to make multiple visits to several doctors and ﬁnd creative solutions that ensure the best outcomes.

We were visiting my new in-laws, and it seemed every neighborhood we stopped into had multiple restaurants with sidewalk serving areas; some had a cool feature where their outside windows slid to the side like accordions and turned front rooms into patios. I’d never seen that before. I also remember talking with my brother-in-law on the trip about why sidewalk dining was all the rage in Toronto, and I chalked it up to desperate Canadians trying to absorb any warmth and sunlight they could. I mean, the Arctic Circle is just up the road, right? Why else would they eat a meal mere feet from parked cars and noisy traffic while pedestrians jostled around the fencing, when a perfectly cozy indoor booth was available? Not that Cincinnati didn’t have outdoor dining back then. Living in Mt. Adams in those days, two of my favorite restaurants were The Pavilion and City View Tavern, super casual spots with deck views of downtown and the Ohio River. But sidewalk dining wasn’t really a thing here yet. Once again serving as the “back in my day” staff old guy, I’m thrilled with the amazing array of current dining options we cover in “Outdoor Eats” (page 36). The me of 25 years ago could never have imagined that boring old Cincinnati would embrace these trends and innovations. No way they’ll let restaurants put tables and chairs on our narrow sidewalks. No way they’ll let trucks pull up to the curb and serve food that’s cooked onboard. No way they’ll close streets or block out parking spaces for outdoor dining space. No way they’ll allow people to walk around the streets with drinks in their hands. Whoever “they” were, I’m happy they either wised up or left town. Because the local dining scene pushed back against all of those rules and grew into something incredible. Is it fair to call this Cincinnati’s golden age of outdoor dining? To be honest, it’s our only age of outdoor dining—so let’s enjoy every minute of it.

From research to writing to publication, Lisa Murtha spent almost two years on “Up in Smoke” (page 54). The public hardly knows about the violence and economic repercussions of the Tobacco Wars of Kentucky and Tennessee, but Murtha hopes her story will create more awareness about a little-known piece of American history. “This is a story that is not taught in schools,” says Murtha. “History repeats itself when history like this is forgotten.”

STEVEN ROSEN Former CityBeat visual art editor and Denver Post art critic Steven Rosen shows us “An Art Deco Room With a View” (page 50) at the Cincinnati Art Museum. “It seemed to me that the exhibition was going to focus the community on the way architecture is saved, prized, remembered, and preserved,” he says. Cincinnati’s long history of Art Deco architecture in particular has always piqued his interest. “It’s just fascinating because it’s so beautiful.”

HAILEY BOLLINGER Photographer Hailey Bollinger ﬁrst began capturing images back in 2009 when she was just a freshman at Mason High School. She’s gone on to photograph everything from families and individuals to weddings and real estate. But her favorite subject? Food. “I want to give an authentic look at what a restaurant is,” says Bollinger, whose photos appear in “Outdoor Eats” (page 36). “To show the beauty behind creative dishes and drinks in a unique way.”

HE THRILL OF THE HUNT IS WHAT BROTHERS EVAN, GRAYDON, AND WILL SIKES

(from left above) agree is their favorite part of owning Caza Sikes Gallery in Oakley with their father, Reid. The business is a combination of fine art gallery, auction house, appraisal firm, and art consultation service. Graydon recalls one particular recent “hunt” that stands out. A law firm contacted Caza Sikes last year to say a client had passed away and, as executors of the estate, they were clearing out the house in order to sell it, with a dumpster arriving the next day. Before that, they asked, would someone want to take a look at the property? “I went over, and there were a lot of knickknacks,” says Graydon. “But then we pulled out a stoneware jug that sold for $17,500 and a birds-eye-view print of College Hill that was bought by the head of their historical society for around $3,000. It all would have gone in the trash.” The spoils of those sales went to charity, since the homeowner had no living heirs. But finding items that hold artistic significance and tremendous value— items that have been tucked away, forgotten, or even hidden in plain sight—makes the hunts worth pursuing. Take, for example, the Irish paintings they found last year. Evan says a Dayton, Ohio–area family contacted him seeking help with a collection appraisal. He and his brothers met the family at their storage unit and began unpacking various pieces for consideration, when they found two glass-covered framed oil paintings. The family said they were just old prints and not very interesting, but a closer look revealed the original work of Paul Henry, a well- CONTINUED ON P. 20 J U LY 2 0 2 2 C I N C I N N AT I M A G A Z I N E .

SPEAK EASY

THE FOURTH OF JULY GETS WEIRD AGAIN There is perhaps no local spot more known for keepin’ it weird than Northside, the delightfully iconoclastic home to some of the city’s most unique small businesses and to an indefatigable spirit of creativity. And nothing captures that spirit better than its annual Fourth of July Parade and Rock N’ Roll Carnival July 2–4. As with most public events, Northside’s festival hit pause in 2020 and 2021, but the event is back on this year (northsidejuly4. com); the pent-up artistic energy is palpable, say co-chairs Maggie Heath-Bourne and Neil Spataro. The Northside Parade is the biggest community event of the year. How excited are Northsiders for its return? Maggie: We received our ﬁrst inquiry about the parade in January, so I think it’s safe to say people are ready! We’re so happy to be able to safely move forward, and I think a big outdoor celebration of Northside is what we all need right now. What can festival goers expect this year? Are there any new additions or events? Maggie: I think people can expect some really enthusiastic parade

entrants this year. A representative of one of the dance troupes told me they’d been working on their costumes since lockdown, so I think we’ll see a lot of creativity being released. Some of our participants are planning on doing glitter bombs, while another group’s theme is “Creature from the Black Lagoon.” There is an element of catharsis this year. I think the parade has always been a way to celebrate Northside and its quirks, but this year feels like a milestone—like we’re breaking through some of the darkness of the last two years. What’s your favorite part about the Northside Fourth of July event? Maggie: Seeing all the different ways people express themselves. It sounds cheesy, but I love seeing that creative, funky Northside charm all compacted into a mile-long stretch of Hamilton Avenue. It’s pure, concentrated fun! Neil: It’s the energy of the crowd for me, especially once the parade reaches “downtown” Northside. It truly is the best day of the year to be a Northsider, followed by every other day of the year. — S A R A H M c C O S H A M READ A LONGER INTERVIEW WITH MAGGIE AND NEIL AT CINCINNATIMAGA ZINE.COM

STYLE COUNSEL

Megan Mary Moore OCCUPATION: Writer; her second poetry collection To Daughter a Devil (Unsolicited Press) hits shelves in January STYLE: Princess meets Poe How long have you been writing poetry? I’ve wanted to be a writer since before I could read. I fell in love with writing poetry speciﬁcally in high school when I learned how playful it can be. Learning that any syntactic or grammatical rule can easily be rewritten or thrown out the window was so freeing. I’ve never been good at following rules, anyway. Tell us about the experience of writing Dwellers, your debut poetry collection. I wrote Dwellers while in my MFA program at Miami University. Before working with my mentors, I was aware that my writing was a little strange and I worked hard to make my poetry more easily digestible and “normal.” But I learned to lean into that weirdness the same way I did with my style. Dwellers was a product of that weirdness becoming a part of my personal poetics. It’s a collection of poetry about my girlhood in the rural Midwest, sprinkled with ghosts and dead things and love. Your wardrobe is an ultra-femme fairy princess fever dream. What’s up with that? After my wedding in 2019, I was prepared to mourn the idea of getting to play the role of fairy princess in my story. Your wedding is the last time you’re encouraged to wear a sparkly, puffy dress that you can properly twirl in. The more I thought about it, the less I could accept that there was no more playing princess in my future. So I bought a big pink dress. Then another and another. If it makes people say, “Where would you wear that?” I’m even more inclined to wear it. — L A U R E N F I S H E R

STOREFRONT

RIGHT TO LEFT C. JACQUELINE WOOD OPENS CINCINNATI’S FIRST JAPANESE COMIC BOOKSTORE. — P A T R I C K M U R P H Y

C. Jacqueline Wood couldn’t predict she’d be the owner of College Hill’s new collection of Japanese comic books, Manga Manga. In 2019, her nonprofit The Mini Microcinema in OTR was too busy showcasing the work of local filmmakers, and she was too busy teaching film courses at the University of Cincinnati. Oh, and working on her own films. But like a lot of people, she adapted during the pandemic. She became hooked on the illustrations in Japanese comic books called manga, and watching their storyboards translated into animated films, or anime. And while there’s a good chance you’ve heard about this art form before, stepping into Manga Manga makes you realize there’s still a lot more to learn. The storefront’s curation of comics covers a wide breadth of genres, including just about every popular story that’s been told in the format, from staple series like Pokémon, Sailor Moon, and Dragon Ball, to newer hits like Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Witch Hat Atelier. But no worries if you’re new—Wood offers accessible instructions, like reading the panels from right to left. “Like any medium, it takes a spark to get into it,” she says. “This is a curated experience to help someone find what they’re looking for, and then something new.” Her storefront speaks for itself. The walls are packed with manga sectioned for

kids, young adults, and mature audiences, with a variety of niche pieces on subjects from living with ADHD (My Brain Is Different) and having your ﬁrst period (Little Miss P), to colorful Studio Ghibli picture books and a plethora of LGBTQ+ romance stories. Look around hard enough and you’ll even ﬁnd manga theory textbooks, the sinister works of horror artist Junji Ito, and a deliciously detailed cookbook. What’s been most surprising to Wood has been the community’s response. During her opening week in early April, she sold a third of her inventory. “Since then, I’ve been an insane person,” Wood jokes. “And it was only through

Instagram and word of mouth. That’s an indication of what people want in this city.” She’s working directly with her customers, creating a list of manga to special order, and carrying all the relevant and new titles that her customers want for Manga Tuesdays, the industry standard for new releases. They’ve deﬁnitely responded. “There was a group of fans that came in the ﬁrst day dressed as maids,” Wood says. “I’ve tried to take the barriers down. You will never be judged in this space.”

MANGA MANGA, 1612 CEDAR AVE., COLLEGE HILL, (513) 429-8361, MANGACINCINNATI.COM

If there’s ever a manga you love but can’t ﬁnd in-store, Wood is ready to put in a special order to provide your favorites. GOOD TO KNOW

PAST LIVES

THERE AREN’T MANY PROPERTIES IN CINCINNATI THAT HAVE LIVED AS

many lives as Marion Hall, the beaux arts masterpiece in North Avondale. Xavier University students who attended between 1943 and 1991 may remember it as a dormitory that housed up to 60 students each year. Anyone who lived in North Avondale before the early 1940s knew the house behind the wrought iron fence as the Enger Mansion—home of Franklin Enger, the local mogul who tapped into the switch from carriages to automobiles to make his fortune in the late 1800s. But we’ll undoubtedly remember this Italian Renaissance gem in its current, restored state as the family home of Ryan Messer and Jimmy Musuraca-Messer, local development champions who are no strangers to daunting renovations. Homes they’ve worked on in the past have often required complete gutting. This one, much to their delight, was different. “Marion Hall, while a little down on her luck, still maintained much of her architectural integrity,” Ryan says. Most of the trim 2 6 C I N C I N N AT I M A G A Z I N E . C O M J U LY 2 0 2 2

was buried beneath coats of paint, but it was intact. The grand staircase was in “reasonably beautiful condition,” and the ﬂoors, though not in great shape, were salvageable. The couple say they were able to preserve, not replace, as they renovated. Inside their once-in-a-lifetime project, they dipped a toe into the maximalism trend but did it in a way that makes sense. The lavish area rugs (of which there are many), the dizzying wallpaper patterns, and the candelabras in the dining room harken back to an earlier day. But the eclectic touches don’t feel out of place— not even the neon signs in the parlor or the buffalo head on the wall. Each homage to the home’s past lives feels authentic because so many of them are authentic. The stained-glass windows were painstakingly revived, pane by pane. Period ﬁxtures were restored to their former glory. At more than 15,000 square feet, the house was a labor of love brought back to life with the help of a powerhouse team of craftsmen and two tremendously devoted owners.

ed street-corner “honor bags,” where customers could grab a paper and voluntarily deposit their 4 cents. That was years ago, of course, when people actually walked around with pennies. And honor. Over the decades, daily newspaper street-corner sellers morphed into only adults, who were visible only at selected busy intersections and highway exits. By the early 21st century they were seen exclusively on Sundays. When did even that fade away? The latest ad the Doctor could ﬁnd that recruited such street vendors was from 2016. Memories of those in the newspaper biz whom the Doctor queried on this topic were fuzzy at best. This is not to suggest we’re conﬁrming the stereotype of the grizzled wet-brain newspaper guy; lately, everyone seems to wonder why they walked into the kitchen.

Q+ A

I’m preparing to sell my mom’s house and am rummaging through old Enquirer s she kept in the attic. Among them is one very strange issue that looks real at ﬁrst but is obviously a parody, spelled Inquirer. The stories are hilariously fake. Where did this come from? Is it a rare collectible? —FAKED NEWS

There was a time when my morning commute included getting stuck at the light at the corner of Glenway and Warsaw avenues, where I’d buy the day’s Cincinnati Enquirer from a guy standing there (no matter the weather!). Is anybody still doing that? If not, when did street sales end? —READ LESS ABOUT IT

Ted Turner, locally-born creator of CNN, began his news empire as a child, waving The Enquirer at a Cincinnati Zoo trolley stop and yelling, “Read all about it!” Newspaper circulation back then also includ-

DEAR FAKED:

The Cincinnati Inquirer, an alternatelyspelled parody of our oldest surviving local newspaper, hit the stands in August 1983. At ﬁrst glance it looked quite authentic, until one began reading it. The front page described how anti-porn protesters had gotten the city to remove Fountain Square’s famous female statue because her chest was too perky. Other stories included Skyline Chili and Graeter’s announcing their joint creation of “Cincinnati Five-Way Ice Cream.” The parody was almost single-handedly created by Frank J. Diekmann, a freshlygraduated UC student and fan of the genre. With help from some friends, he wrote, laid out, printed, and delivered The Inquirer to ILLUSTR ATIO N S BY L A R S LEE TA RU

retail outlets all over town. Attention and sales brieﬂy soared. The only way your mother’s “rare collectible” might fetch huge dollars at Sotheby’s is if Diekmann has since burned his 10,000-or-so unsold copies, which occupied the space in his garage where his 1981 Ford Escort once resided before he sold it to help ﬁ nance this project. That’s the kind of good-old-fashioned commitment to journalism we desperately need today!

I still get the print edition of The Cincinnati Enquirer, trying to support local journalism. Everything about the paper has shrunk—the staff, the number of articles, and especially the size of the pages. I’m curious: How large were The Enquirer’s pages before the (literal) cuts? —THE YELLOWED PAGES DEAR YELLOWED:

Welcome to the Doctor’s ﬁrst all-Enquirer column. The morning Cincinnati Enquirer once took a full morning to read, and the Sunday edition could easily drag you into Tuesday. But no more. The paper has become smaller in many ways, except for two things that have grown larger: font size and white space. A century ago, the Cincinnati Reds lost the 1922 pennant on an Enquirer front page that was a hefty 18 inches wide and 23 inches tall. When they won the World Series in 1976, the width had shrunk by about 3 inches. One more inch—in both directions—was gone by time the Reds swept the Series in 1990. And when Riverfront Stadium fell in 2002, yet another inch of Enquirer width had inched away. W hen the team hosted Pete Rose’s 50th anniversary as a Red in 2013, the front page was barely larger than a legal pad: 10.5 by 14.5 inches. Then, just in time for Joe Burrow joining the Bengals in 2020, 6 inches of Enquirer length returned! Resist the obvious joke temptation, please: It was because printing was shifted to a new location, Louisville.

WELCOME TO MIDDLEHOOD BY JUDI KETTELER

Church on the Run

EVERY SUNDAY MORNING, I HEAD OUT ON THE ROAD TO FEED MY SPIRIT. IT’S THE BEST CHURCH I’VE EVER BEEN TO. NINE MILES OF ME AND THE ROAD, WHERE MY brain, body, and spirit attempt to commune with the universe. I’m sure I look like any middle-aged runner just shuffling along with ear buds. I’m hardly in church attire. I have no offering but my breathing—which alternates between strong, conﬁdent breaths on ﬂat stretches and whiny, desperate panting on steep climbs. These long runs are the most religious experience I’ve had since I left church behind nearly 30 years ago. I don’t begrudge those who opt for holy water and hymns. People should give their spirit what it needs. And come 11 a.m. every Sunday, mine needs me to put on running shoes and go. Attending this church of mine starts with trying to get myself out of the house. The 3 0 C I N C I N N AT I M A G A Z I N E . C O M J U LY 2 0 2 2

distractions mount: There’s one more New York Times story to read on my phone. The bathroom garbage can should be emptied. The cat wants to play hide-and-go-seek. Which socks should I wear? Let me just check the weather app one more time! My husband shakes his head and says, “It takes you forever to get out the door!” He doesn’t understand that this is how I like it. That it reminds me of Sunday mornings at my house circa 1984, when my dad would yell that it was time to leave for church right now, dammit! I can see him, standing by the kitchen table with his sideburns and overcoat. His dress shoes—fancier than the shoes he wore to work in his lab—clacked on the linoleum as he paced, his frustration mounting at this unruly crew. My mom would usually still be getting dressed and my sister would be fixing my hair, fashioning it into a “tree” (half of my hair piled into a cascading ponytail on top of my head) as various other siblings finished breakfast and listened to Casey Kasem’s American Top 40. As I tie my running shoes, I think about the noisy sliding door on the blue and white van we drove to church. Its metallic harumph! was the sound of Kettelers on the move. I take a final drink of water, contemplating whether I should bring a bottle or if a stop at the water fountain around mile six will be enough, and remember how I would gingerly dip a finger into the holy water at the entrance to church before making the sign of the cross. Now I warm up my spirit by stretching my calves on the stoop. I have new rituals, but my body knows the history. Our muscles have incredible ability to remember, our repeated moves, touches, and gestures lodged in long-term memory. It’s why I know exactly what it feels like to file into a pew and use the top of my foot to pull down the kneeler. The thin pad was always unforgiving to knees bruised from climbing trees and roller skating in the street. Standing was way better, especially once I was tall enough to lean on the pew and press my palms into the rounded top. Was the pew made from oak? Maple? Whatever it was, it had a grimy layer of gloss polish, which made it look as dull as dishwater. I used to imagine tumbling across the tops of those pews. I can see myself in my mind’s eye, back handspringing ILLUSTR ATIO N BY D O L A SU N

JUST NORTH OF INDY

WELCOME TO MIDDLEHOOD through the crowd. The memories of the people I was with in that pew make me smile, with our inside jokes and cocoon of just-right chaos. I loved to hear my mom sing and see my dad shake hands at the sign of peace (my brother and I would have a side contest to see which of us could shake more hands). But when I expand the lens further, all I see is disconnect. I would sit there under a cloud of incense and behold the marble altar, the gleaming gold accents of the sanctuary, and the fancy fabric of the priest’s robes. I understood, even before I understood, the duplicity of having palace-like interiors as the setting for messages about humility. I remember the questions that tumbled through my mind like those handsprings across the tops of the pews. I see my 10-year-old self, and I know she’s going to have so much anger over the hypocrisy, brutal misogyny, and outright deception she comes to discover. She’s going to leave that place forever, returning only for wed-

vides the hymns and gives a sermon that’s never too long. Emily and I are of the same mind on this one. We make what we need. As I run through the main thoroughfare in my little town, toward the less-traveled roads, I think about what I need. AROUND MILE FIVE, THERE’S A HOUSE on the corner with a huge yard that dips down and back up. Their dogs—German Shepherds, I think, though I’m not a reliable source of dog breed knowledge—run along the hilly fence line, barking viciously at me. Sometimes, as I shuffle up the hill, I laugh and say, “Do I honestly look like a threat, you silly pups?” Other times, I yell at them to shut the hell up. The point is, the Church of the Long Run takes me through the range of emotions, and I never quite know where I’ll be. A lot of versions of Judi sweat themselves out in those miles. Sometimes, when the sky is cornﬂower blue and it’s neither too hot nor too cold, I’m all inspiration. I brainstorm writing projects and story ideas. I

SOMETIMES I’M ALL INSPIRATION, OTHER TIMES ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT ARE PEOPLE I’VE LOST. dings and funerals, and even then with an eye twitch. And yet I learned how to use that peculiar interlude every week to take walks through my own mental landscape. During the dull homilies and forlorn spells of organ music, I contemplated gymnastics routines, thought about conflicts with friends, tallied up homework I had to do, let loose a mental tirade against the mean girls in my class, prayed that no one I loved would die, and planned the ways I could be a better daughter and more honest person. It was a little gift to have a space where the minutia of life and my soul could meet, even if the box around it was littered with human-made problems. In her famous poem, Emily Dickinson wrote, “Some keep the Sabbath going to Church / I keep it, staying at Home.” She goes on to describe how a songbird pro3 2 C I N C I N N AT I M A G A Z I N E .

find the metaphor I’ve been searching for all week and get the answer to some problem I’ve been turning around in my head. Other times, all I can think about are people I’ve lost. My mind sees my brother, my dad, my mother-in-law and father-inlaw, and nearly all my aunts and uncles, and I send a smile to their soul. But the sister I’ve lost to estrangement—not the tree ponytail one, who is a close friend, but my eldest one, who used to be—is almost unbearable to think about, because I can’t figure out what to do. How to emotionally find her again in her right-wing fog. I rage when I see the Let’s Go Brandon flag flapping like an obnoxious toddler in the yard of a house around mile seven, but it doesn’t make my sadness dissipate. Speeding up my legs gives my fury an outlet, but I’m no track star. I always have to find my pace again and continue slowly forward. Forward

forward forward. As a health writer, I’ve written countless articles about the “runner’s high” and how exercise impacts your brain. I know what happens when you go running: Your blood flow increases, you release mood-altering chemicals called endocannabinoids, your hippocampus (the brain’s memory center) lights up, and new brain cell growth is even triggered. Exercise truly is a magic pill. For me, there’s another kind of alchemy, too, that creates a dual state of vulnerability and strength. Running becomes the safest place on earth to be afraid and think the unthinkable thoughts, because instead of cowering in the dark at 3 a.m. and feeling helpless, I’m powerful and capable. Is this what church does for believers? I don’t know. But I know that my running church is just about the only time that I can let my darkest fears out of their cave for a few minutes. With a teen and a tween at home, I’m terrified of the mental health crisis. What are they doing on their phones? Why can’t I keep better track? What kind of parent am I, anyway? I’m scared for them, for their friends, and for all teens. I think of the suicides among this age group that could happen. I see us all at the funerals. Stop it, stop it, stop it! I scream inside my head. We’ll find a way to fix it all, won’t we? I bargain and reason and try to find my breath again. But then comes a downhill stretch. My god, the descent! It makes you think you have it together. Life is a brilliant pool of love when you’re gliding down a hill at a 6:30-per-mile pace. Everything is possibility and good intention, not unlike the prayers of the faithful. Reciting over and over Lord, hear our prayer was my favorite part of the mass. It felt like you were offering the sincerest part of yourself to something larger, in the service of making the world better. I pray now to the road, the sky, the trees: Keep kids safe. Keep families fed. Make despots fall. Stop the assaults on women’s health and teachers’ curriculum and LGBTQ students. Let my sister wake up from her alt-right coma. Heal us all. A bird chirps. I think of Emily Dickinson and of how a thing you do repeatedly can have a meaning greater than the thing itself. And I keep going.

FOR CHILL SUMMER VIBES, THERE IS NOTHING QUITE LIKE STROLLing with a cup of cold beer on a beautiful evening. Now, thanks to the recent proliferation of DORA (Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area) districts around Southwest Ohio, more and more Cincinnatians get to experience this breezy pleasure. In a DORA district, patrons can purchase alcoholic beverages in special cups from a bar, restaurant, or shop with a DORA permit and stroll around an assigned area (and into participating businesses), drink in hand. According to Rusty Herzog, Wyoming’s city manager, the district has not only been a boon to local businesses, but it’s also helped attract new establishments. “We’ve had new businesses come in, like The W Lounge,” he explains. “It appears to have been an attraction for local businesses to take advantage of the DORA.”

Wyoming became one in a growing list of cities around the area with DORAs when it launched a little over two years ago. Hamilton’s started in 2018 while Milford and Loveland’s were established in 2019. The ones at The Banks and in Cheviot took off last March, and Blue Ash recently approved its DORA in April. Deerﬁeld Township, Middletown, and Montgomery also have them, and Northern Kentucky has gotten in on the action with a DORA in Bellevue. What’s the biggest challenge with maintaining a DORA district? “The trash cleanup,” Herzog notes. Future DORA districts, take note: You’ll have to invest in more cans and pickups with all those extra people strolling about. But, as Herzog says, it’s not a bad problem to have.

THE FUTURE OF STREATERIES IN CINCINNATI.

D EA

ING

AD RO

IF YOU’VE TAKEN A STROLL THROUGH THE STREETS OF Over-the-Rhine in the past two years, you’ve no doubt seen the beautiful outdoor planters, railings, wood parklets, and bump-outs, as well as the covered outdoor seating that lines the neighborhood’s main thoroughfares like those of so many European streets. What started in May 2020 as a temporary solution to the challenges posed by social distancing has become a permanent ﬁxture in OTR and the central business district downtown. And we’re all for it. These “streateries” have given restaurants some much needed extra space, allowing diners a front-and-center view of Cincinnati’s bustling street life, and helping the city live up to one of its oldest nicknames—“the Paris of America.” According to the Cincinnati Center City Development Corporation (3CDC), the brains and brawn behind the program, more than 1,500 outdoor seats have been built to support nearly 80 businesses (primarily restaurants and bars) in the city’s urban core. The question on many diners’ minds, as we enjoy our third summer of streetside outdoor dining, is can we expect more streateries to pop up around the city? Joe Rudemiller, 3CDC’s vice president of marketing and communications, says that the bulk of the project has been ﬁnalized, though streateries could be moved or adapted according to the needs of businesses that are already part of the program. And since 3CDC operates solely within the urban core, other neighborhoods would need to take the lead in instituting their own streateries program, something Rudemiller encourages. “We’ve worked with the city to set up the program as a blueprint, which other neighborhoods can take up if they choose,” he says. If the program’s success is any indication, there is a good chance a streatery will be coming to a neighborhood near you.

Art Deco Room With a View Almost 50 years after receiving original bedroom pieces designed by once-famed architect Joseph Urban, the Cincinnati Art Museum ﬁnally puts them on display. It’s a time machine back to the golden age of Art Deco.

By Steven Rosen

W WAY BACK I N 1973 , TH E CI NCI N NATI ART Museum (CAM) took possession of what it considered a major gift of 14 pieces of furniture and accessories. It was nearly everything that still existed from an Art Deco bedroom that Joseph Urban, a leading architect of the day, designed for a Chicago teenager at the tail end of the Roaring Twenties.

It had been a long journey from Chicago to CAM, and it’s taken almost another 50 years until the museum could put it on display. But it’s ﬁnally happening: Unlocking an Art Deco Bedroom by Joseph Urban opens on July 8 and continues through October 2. In 1929, Elaine Wormser and her parents moved to a deluxe penthouse apart-

ment on the 27th ﬂoor of the new Drake Tower high-rise on Chicago’s prestigious Lakeshore Drive. Her father, Leo Wormser, was a respected lawyer and a leader in the city’s Jewish community. Her mother had grown up as Helen Goldsmith in Avondale and married Leo in 1911 at downtown Cincinnati’s old Sinton Hotel. Elaine, born in 1912, was their only child.

THE AGE OF ART DECO The Cincinnati Art Museum show will include other work by Joseph Urban, including his design for Cincinnati’s Gibson Hotel (right), as well as period pieces like this enameled copper dish, circa 1925.

After Elaine married Thomas J. Reis, the couple moved to Cincinnati, his home. But she didn’t quite turn her back on her past, taking key elements of her extraordinary Chicago bedroom with her—she left behind built-in objects—and displaying them in her attractive home in East Walnut Hills for decades. When it came time to downsize, Reis donated what she still had to CAM in hope that her old bedroom would be preserved and remembered. The museum has never displayed any of the donated

Beﬁtting their daughter’s status, Leo chose something special for her bedroom, commissioning Joseph Urban to turn it into an Art Deco showcase. Urban, from Vienna, Austria, where there was an exciting arts and architecture movement around the start of the 20th century, had arrived in the U.S. in 1911. As an architect, designer, and illustrator, he became especially renowned for his belief in modernism and his exciting use of color and ornamentation. He stayed busy in this country until his death in 1933 at age 61.

The upcoming exhibition will recreate the Chicago bedroom as it was, minus a few omissions, and there will be a coffeetable-size catalogue to accompany it. It’s a big deal for CAM, and Decorative Arts and Design Curator Amy Miller Dehan has spent years researching and organizing the show. “We’re bringing the expeCONTINUED ON PAGE 86 rience of the

by heart. He’s been hearing it since he was a boy—the one about the time his great grandpa, George Washington Kinney—Mr. Kinney, as Rumford calls him today—was awakened in the middle of the night by angry voices outside his log home on the Bracken County, Kentucky, farm, where he grew tobacco. As the story goes, while Mr. Kinney’s wife, Eliza Jane, and children slept, he opened the front door. There he saw dozens of men in black masks armed with torches, guns, and whips calling his name—Night Riders. Mr. Kinney would later learn that somewhere in that crowd was a man with a very similar name: George Washington Jett. He couldn’t see their faces, but Mr. Kinney knew what the men wanted. For years, he’d watched and read in newspapers about what happened to independent farmers and tobacco buyers who refused to join a collective bargaining organization called the PPA and instead sold tobacco directly to Buck Duke’s American Tobacco company. Since the previous summer, military men (likely members of the state militia) had successfully guarded Mr. Kinney’s 80-acre property, less than an hour southeast of Cincinnati, from an intrusion. But on that very day, in the summer of 1906, the militia had left. The Night Riders made their move. Mr. Kinney knew he was outnumbered; his only option was to step outside. By night’s end, the Night Riders would tie him to a tree trunk in his own yard and he’d be lashed, bloodied, and beaten nearly to death. Afterwards, they’d set fire to his tobacco barn, filled with thousands of pounds of tobacco he’d bought from other independent farmers and had been planning to sell. His only source of income, burned to the ground. Mr. Kinney survived the attack but was never the same again, says Rumford. Years later, in an act that likely defied logic to both

57 families, Mr. Kinney’s son, Tom, married that other George Washington’s daughter, Alma, “a true love story,” says Rumford. The tale of Mr. Kinney’s lashing and the Night Riders lived on through family stories and a giant scrapbook full of newspaper clippings Mr. Kinney had compiled that Tom and Alma later kept beneath a couch in their living room. Often, when Rumford visited his grandparents’ home, he and his cousin Wilma would slide out that scrapbook—a giant, cloth-covered clothing catalog from a local general store—to read it. Now, decades later, Rumford knows quite a bit of it by heart. The scrapbook has no written commentary—merely hundreds of articles meticulously cut from turn-of-the-20th-century newspapers and pasted to its pages by Mr. Kinney. They tell the tale of the Tobacco Wars—a years-long battle fought largely in Kentucky and Tennessee that few Americans today have ever even heard of. Wars that leveled entire towns and touched the lives of thousands of Americans. Wars that pitted neighbor against neighbor and tens of thousands of farmers against one of this nation’s most ruthless monopolies. Wars that have been described by many, says historian Rick Gregory in a video recounting of the event, as “the largest time of mass violence in American history from the Civil War until the Civil Rights movement.”

fter hearing Mr. Kinney’s

story, it’s easy to assume he was in the right and Jett was wrong. But “this isn’t a story about good people and bad people,” offers Gregory in that same video. “This is a story about people who found themselves in an incredibly bad economic situation. And each individual family had to

decide how they were gonna respond.” In fact, to understand this story, it’s important to ﬁrst understand how crucial tobacco—a backbreaking crop to cultivate, grow, and harvest—has been to this nation’s economy. It was a major cash crop for the colonists, who grew it, then exported it overseas. A century later, tobacco—largely produced through the labor of enslaved people and, later, sharecroppers—continued to help fuel the nation’s economy during and after the Civil War, which placed states like Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, and the Carolinas (plus others with similar temperate climates) at the epicenter of the global tobacco trade. Roughly 50 miles southeast of Cincinnati, in fact, in Bracken County, Kentucky (home to Brooksville, Augusta, and half of Germantown), the rolling countryside was

littered with White Burley tobacco patches and farmers fetched prices anywhere from 10 to 30 cents per pound at auction, says Rumford, who has spent decades researching the Tobacco Wars and American history. Enter North Carolina’s Washington Duke, a farmer who fought in the Civil War before beginning a tobacco processing company. In the late 1800s, his sons, James Buchanan (“Buck”) and Benjamin Newton, took over the family business; Benjamin eventually branched off into textiles, but Buck set his sights on expanding the tobacco business, renaming it the American Tobacco Company and becoming likely the ﬁrst in the nation, and probably the world, to mechanize cigarette production: In 1885 he obtained exclusive rights to the use of a cigarette rolling machine which produced tens of thousands more cigarettes per day than companies that hand-rolled them. Buck Duke’s ultimate goal, says Gregory, was “to control both the raw material and the product going out to the consumers.” Sure enough, by the turn of the 20th century, the American Tobacco Company “was the acknowledged ruler of the nation’s tobacco industry,” according to Ron Soodalter’s 2014 Kentucky Monthly article about the Wars, called “Terror in the Night.” “It controlled nearly 93 percent of the country’s C O N T I N U E D O N P A G E 9 0

A New Hope for TreatmentResistant Depression Dr. Teresa Anderson knows you may have reservations about ketamine. Most people, she readily acknowledges, have seen it described as a recreational drug—even by its street name, “Special K.” So it may come as a surprise that at Anderson’s mental health clinic on Red Bank Road, you can ﬁnd ketamine as a popular and effective treatment option, listed right up there next to psychotherapy and medication management. But make no mistake—Anderson isn’t peddling street drugs. Instead, she’s at the forefront of a revolution in treatment for some of the nation’s most common mental illnesses. In her education at the University of Cincinnati, where she served as chief resident, Anderson knew ketamine as a powerful anesthetic and analgesic. “But the more research I did on it, the more I realized that at super low doses, given very slowly, ketamine… was much, much, much more efficacious in treating depression, anxiety, and PTSD,” Anderson says. “And so I was thrilled, because not only was it safe, but it’s something that I could do without the assistance of a major hospital facility.” Six years ago, Anderson and her team opened the ﬁrst psychiatrist-run ketamine clinic in the state of Ohio. And ever since then, she says they’ve been something of an underground sensation. Recent research suggests that low-dose ketamine infusions can be just as—if not more—effective as oral antidepressants. When it comes to a need for new treatments, the situation couldn’t be more dire. The World Health Organiza6 0 C I N C I N N AT I M A G A Z I N E . C O M J U LY 2 0 2 2

tion lists depression as a leading cause of disability globally, contributing to hundreds of thousands of suicides each year—and the pandemic has only exacerbated what was already a worsening mental health crisis. Waitlists for talk therapy and psychiatrists are stretching on for months. “People who were depressed and anxious or traumatized became more depressed, more anxious, more traumatized with the pandemic,” Anderson says. “And people who weren’t depressed and anxious became depressed and anxious when they lost all their ability to go out and socialize and hang with friends and go to work—to feel useful.” Even with successful medication, relapses in depression are common. And for many, the journey to ﬁnding effective treatment is an arduous one.

A study from The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry determined that as many as 30 percent of adults with medicated depression have what’s known as treatment resistant depression. Anecdotally, the rapid, long-lasting results of the ketamine have excited researchers and patients alike, in part because treating symptoms with ketamine isn’t like treating symptoms with typical anti-anxiety drugs. A psychiatrist at Yale used Valium as an example. When treating anxiety symptoms with Valium, the patient will only experience that anti-anxiety effect while the Valium is in their system. But with ketamine, it’s different. Instead of throwing a blanket over the symptoms, ketamine triggers reactions that research suggests enables regrowth of certain brain functions. Standard antidepressant therapy— typically oral SSRI medications—only

works about 30 to 40 percent of the time, “which in and of itself is really depressing,” Anderson says. And relief can take weeks, even months, to kick in. “With ketamine,” she says, “You can notice a change in the ﬁrst session, or as little as three to six visits.” Some patients experience a dramatic reduction in symptoms after a single treatment. Typically, Anderson prescribes a series of six sessions over a period of two or three weeks. Once a patient is medically cleared for ketamine treatments, they can proceed with infusions, which typically take between 40 minutes and one hour. Ketamine infusions aren’t for everyone, and every patient will have a different experience. While some individuals undergoing the IV therapy may feel relatively normal, many experience a mild feeling of dissociation or “otherness” during the treatment—Anderson compares the feeling to something almost like laughing gas at the dentist. Most patients have no problem going back to work the day after a treatment. Since its inception, the Anderson Clinic has treated over 500 patients with ketamine infusions. The overall response rate to treatment, Anderson says, has been nearly 80 percent.

ment by “complete and total accident.” A patient of hers wasn’t having luck with any of the five different medications she was on for bipolar disorder. And as a stay-at-home mom of two children with autism, she was willing to try almost any treatment—medication or homeopathic—to find some relief. So when she told Anderson she wanted to have her family treated with a new technology called PrTMS, Anderson was skeptical. But the results spoke for themselves. “She’s off more than half of her medications,” Anderson says. “Her mood has improved. Her husband, who was a footballer in high school and college, no longer has headaches and is sleeping through the night.” One of her children, who struggled with coordination, started riding a bike. The other child, who was “barely verbal,” couldn’t stop talking. “I just got chills,” Anderson says. The treatments, which can be completed in less than an hour by a qualified nurse practitioner, are non-invasive and drug free. During the treatment session, magnetic paddles deliver pulses to areas of the brain that help regulate mood,

stimulating under-active neurons. Results are tracked with an electroencephalogram, and every treatment is tailored and tweaked to address different areas of the brain. “We’ve had people who have tried multiple medications and even tried ketamine and failed who did well with PrTMS,” Anderson says. “People who were planning on going on disability who didn’t have to because they did PrTMS. We’ve treated PTSD, generalized anxiety, and major depression. We’ve treated several folks who have had strokes, and they received a lot of benefits in terms of getting temperature sensation, movement, and coordination back.” That’s not to mention the benefits the clinic has seen in patients with ADHD, concussions, cerebral palsy, and autism. Today, The Anderson Clinic is one of only 12 clinics in the U.S. to offer the treatment. And with one in five American adults experiencing mental illness in a given year, that kind of innovation is essential, Anderson says. “It’s so desperately needed.”

e sent surveys to physicians with current licenses in Hamilton, Warren, Butler, Clermont, Boone, Campbell, Kenton, and Dearborn counties, asking more than 6,000—both M.D.s and D.O.s—to tell us whom they would turn to if “you, a family member, or a friend needed medical attention.” (They could not nominate themselves.) The results: 768 physicians in 51 specialties. Doctors on this list received at least seven votes from their peers. We checked the results against state medical board records to ensure that our list did not include any doctors against whom the state has brought a formal action. Our list does not, of course, include every caring, knowledgeable, and responsible physician in Greater Cincinnati. Unless indicated, physicians on the list are M.D.s. Some physicians appear in more than one specialty. Many are accepting new patients, but things can change; always call ﬁrst.

HIFU Tissue Ablation for Prostate Cancer: An outpatient non-invasive treatment option with low risk of side effects

Prostate Cancer and NonInvasive Treatment Option During 2022, the American Cancer Society expects prostate cancer diagnoses in the U.S. to be nearly equivalent to breast cancer cases. Due to the aging U.S. population, it is forecasted that prostate cancer cases will continue to rise with approximately 1 in 8 men diagnosed in their lifetime. That is a shocking statistic many people are unaware of since prostate cancer does not receive comparable media attention as other cancers such as

breast cancer. Furthermore, African American men are nearly twice as likely to be diagnosed and die from prostate cancer compared to Caucasian men. Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer found in men and the American Cancer Society estimates 268,490 cases will be diagnosed in the U.S. this year alone. Prostate cancer is highly curable when caught in the early stages before it has spread to other organs. It can be diagnosed at much earlier stages due to a simple blood test called PSA (Prostate Speciﬁc Antigen) which is provided annually by a

primary care physician or urologist. The key to successful treatment is early detection. When caught early, there are many treatment options for prostate cancer with high cure rates. One of the most advanced treatments, HIFU, or High Intensity Focused Ultrasound, is being offered at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center by Dr. Abhinav Sidana. A 2018 study published by European Association of Urology reported ﬁve-year HIFU results that showed a 98% metastasis-free survival rate with 98% of the patients maintaining urinary continence similar to

pre-treatment (1). Dr. Sidana’s clinical practice includes both surgical and non-operative management of prostate cancers with a special interest in functional prostate imaging, image-guided and focal treatments. HIFU allows him to use recent advancements in diagnostic imaging to customize each HIFU treatment to the patient. “The outpatient HIFU treatment is bloodless and uses focused ultrasound to destroy the prostatic tissue. Unlike surgery and radiation that have high rates or erectile dysfunction and incontinence, HIFU provides an effective prostate cancer treatment with similar cure rates, but without these detrimental side effects that can be permanent. The two- to three-hour HIFU treatment is very appealing to many men as it allows them to return to their normal lifestyles within a few days—it’s truly a remarkable treatment that should be considered by all patients deemed candidates for HIFU,” commented Dr. Sidana.

What is HIFU for Prostate Cancer? HIFU is a non-invasive, outpatient procedure that uses ultrasound energy to heat and destroy cancerous tissue in the prostate. It is radiation-free and bloodless, and studies show that the risk of side effects, such as erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence, are significantly lower with HIFU than with surgery (radical prostatectomy) or radiation (2). HIFU is delivered using a medical device called the Sonablate. The Sonablate probe contains transducers which emit ultrasound energy that provides an image of the prostate; it can also be focused to a central point, where the temperature is raised rapidly, causing cell de-

struction. This works in the same way that sunlight can be focused to burn a hole in a leaf. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, so this does not cause discomfort to the patient. The Sonablate system allows doctors to obtain a real-time image of the prostate and plan exactly where they want to deliver the HIFU energy, thus destroying the targeted tissue. The physician also receives immediate feedback to confirm the targeted prostatic tissue has been eliminated. The precision of the HIFU system allows the physician to see the nerve bundles that control sexual function and to avoid harming these critical structures. Unlike surgery, which requires the physician to remove the entire prostate, HIFU enables the patient to receive whole gland treatment, hemi-ablation or a focal treatment. If there is only cancer on one side of the prostate, the physician and patient can determine if only the cancerous portion of the prostate is treated. HIFU is often referred to as the “lumpectomy for men”.“HIFU is the only treatment that I can tailor to the patient’s individual needs and I can appropriately contour the gland as well as detect and avoid the neurovascular bundles,” said Dr. Sidana. “This gives my patients a greater chance of preserved erectile function and prevention of urinary incontinence.”

Recovery After HIFU HIFU is an outpatient procedure that typically lasts two to three hours, depending on the size of the prostate. After a brief recovery from general anesthesia at the hospital, patients return home to recover more comfortably. Most patients are routinely back to work in a couple of days and typically able to resume normal activities within a week. Additionally, if for some reason there is a recurrence of prostate cancer, HIFU does not exclude patients from having any other treatments. This also means that, while not common, HIFU may be repeated if necessary. If a man chooses to have HIFU, he is not limiting himself to pursuing other treatment options down the road.

HIFU is delivered using a medical device called the Sonablate.

Who Qualifies for HIFU? While only a physician can determine whether you qualify for HIFU. Typically men with a prostate gland of less than 40 grams with localized prostate cancer (meaning the tumor has not spread outside of the prostate gland) are the best candidates for HIFU. The other information that physicians usually look at to determine if you qualify for HIFU, is your PSA level and Gleason score. Anyone interested in HIFU for localized prostate cancer should speak with a doctor about his specific diagnosis and whether it would be a good treatment option in his case.

be created today and forward.” The exhibition actually will be larger in size than just Elaine’s bedroom items. Dehan says there will be approximately 150 works in total, including at least 30 either loaned or donated to the museum by Reis family members. Besides the bedroom, which visitors will be able to see from a distance, the exhibition also devotes space to Urban’s career, the many steps involved in resurrecting Elaine’s bedroom, and the history of 20th century modernism, with an emphasis on how it appealed to women. There will also be a web-based interactive component. Urban is mostly unknown to the general public today, something Dehan wants

“I HOPE THIS ALLOWS PEOPLE TO REDISCOVER JOSEPH URBAN. HE WAS SUCH AN IMPORTANT FIGURE IN AMERICAN MODERNISM,” SAYS CAM CURATOR AMY MILLER DEHAN. in 1978, eventually retiring as deputy director of curatorial affairs in 2014.) “When you see it, I can tell you it’s going to just knock your socks off,” Ellis says of Art Deco Bedroom. “It’s just spectacular. You’re going to be walking into the 1920s and ’30s when you walk into this room.” WHILE THIS SHOW REPRESENTS THE first time CAM is displaying a period room of Art Deco style, it’s long had an interest in this early 20th century modernist trend in art, architecture, and design that symbolized progress and glamour. For that matter, so has the city of Cincinnati itself, home to such admired and beloved Art Deco icons as Union Terminal, the Times-Star Building, and Carew Tower and the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza hotel it contains. Cincinnati Art Museum Director Cameron Kitchin says period rooms provide important insight into key moments in decorative and architectural history. “Scholars and visitors will beneﬁt from learning how a patron, designer, and personality intermix in a time and place to create art and design anew,” he says. “I hope they’ll ﬁ nd inspiration in what may 8 6 C I N C I N N AT I M A G A Z I N E . C O M J U LY 2 0 2 2

this show to help correct. “I certainly hope it allows people to rediscover him, because he was such an important figure in American modernism,” she says. “His work was so strong, and he worked in such a variety of media.” This story’s deadline precluded me from seeing even an early iteration of the installed exhibition, but looking at catalogue photographs of the original room— some of which have been colorized from black-and-white originals taken in 1930— it’s easy to see the potential. Highlights to look forward to include the bed and its lush green cover, with hand-painted f lowers on taffeta silk, velvet ribbon, and satin trim; two chairs with blue and gold stripes so deliciously colorful they remind you of ribbon candy; two table lamps with opaque conical glass shades; and the bedroom’s wool wall-to-wall carpet with an abstract geometricized floral pattern. The carpeted stairs climb two steps to reach Elaine’s twin bed. It’s obvious this design was meant for a sophisticated, refi ned girl; a porcelain Russian tea service with a colorful floral design, possibly selected for Elaine by Urban, rests on a table. Yet you can see the

room’s occupant still holds affection for her ceramic English Staffordshire dogs, displayed on bookshelves flanking the bed. Black glass Vitrolite panels on the wall were ultra-modern symbols of Art Deco style back in 1930. To reconstruct as much of the original 18½-by-21-foot room as possible and practical, Dehan has had to find comparable replacements for what’s missing or commission recreations. Besides using the 1930 photographs as a source, she was able to do research at Columbia University’s Rare Book and Manuscript Library, which holds Urban’s archives. Among the replica pieces you’ll see in the show are the skyscraper bookcases, a bedside night table, two pendant lights, a floor lamp, hassocks, an armchair, a dressing table, an occasional table, window treatments, and wall curtains. Even though the museum has a significant amount of the original wall-to-wall carpet, a Pennsylvania company is weaving a replica because Dehan was concerned the original couldn’t be safely installed while also preserving it. Some of the original pieces needed conservation, too. Chandra Obie Linn, CAM’s associate conservator of textiles, worked with the bed’s cover and the headboard. “The bedspread was in pretty rough shape, but we really wanted to be able to use original material because we hated to give up anything that could be included that we had,” says Linn. “Part of the challenge of it was just the sheer real estate. I had this large piece of shattered silk textile, and I took apart a lot of the gathered edge in order to get access to the backside of the painted fabrics.” After applying adhesive-coated crepeline, a fabric used in garment conservation, inside the cover’s flounces to hold together the painted silk, she moved on to stitching. “It’s so fragile that if we handle it wrong then it has new tears,” Linn says. “So she’s a challenge, but it’s going to be beautiful.” The exhibit’s recreations could cause controversy or confusion, since visitors might assume that what they’re seeing in a museum “period room” like this is both original and in the same exact condition as when new. Dehan plans to address that issue in the show itself. “I think in nearly every period room in

AN ART DECO BEDROOM a museum setting, there’s usually some kind of ﬁctional intervention,” she says. “You’re seeing some objects in that room that would have been like those used originally in the space, but not necessarily the exact objects. We have to be transparent with visitors and make them understand that there is some license taken by a museum when we try to recreate or present these historic interiors. By not having some of these objects, though, you wouldn’t have as strong an experience and as strong an

bedroom? (He apparently borrowed from that conservatory in designing Elaine’s outdoor terrace, according to the show’s catalogue.) Leo Wormser paid a then-eyebrowraising $6,350 for Urban’s services, plus another $500 for an armchair. The arrival of the Great Depression following the stock market crash in October 1929 didn’t cause Leo to cancel his plans. “I think the Wormsers, by commissioning Joseph Urban, were making a statement

“THE BEDROOM WASN’T SOMETHING WE DWELLED ON, OTHER THAN WHERE ALL THESE BEAUTIFUL THINGS CAME FROM,” SAYS RICHARD REIS ABOUT THIS MOTHER’S ITEMS. understanding of what the artist was trying to achieve. It would be like seeing a painting without some of its brushstrokes or a vase without its handles.” GETTING JOSEPH URBAN TO DESIGN A teenager’s bedroom when he had so many high-profile commissions seems incredible now, akin to getting Frank Lloyd Wright to devise a child’s treehouse (along with its built-in furniture!) or Busby Berkeley to choreograph a children’s talent show. Since coming to the U.S. from Austria, he’d had so much success—in such a variety of the arts—that he was a celebrity figure. As an architect, Urban was responsible for redesigning the interiors of Marjorie Merriweather Post’s 128-room Palm Beach mansion Mar-a-Lago, as well as serving as architect for the New York building that housed William Randolph Hearst’s magazine business. He was stage designer for New York’s Metropolitan Opera, scenic director for the Boston Opera, designed the famous Follies revues for the showman Florenz Ziegfeld, and served as set designer for Hearst’s film studio. Before beginning on Elaine’s bedroom, Urban had created a conservatory for an exhibition of American design at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. How many teenagers, you might wonder, get a museum-quality artist to design their 8 8 C I N C I N N AT I M A G A Z I N E . C O M J U LY 2 0 2 2

to their peers that this showed a lot of cachet,” says Dehan. “They were able to commission one of the country’s best-known designers for an interior for their home.” But why not do the rest of their spacious penthouse, which was more traditional in style and contained many English antiques? Besides being a gift to their daughter, it may have been a statement to their friends that they were open-minded to change, especially for the next generation. Modern fashion and style trends, Dehan says, often seem to get adopted by the young ﬁrst, so Elaine’s parents were possibly trying it out on her. “There’s this idea that women of that period, especially young women, were experiencing life unlike women who came before them,” she says. “They had more freedom, and roles were opening up for them. Elaine was an only child. Perhaps by choosing Urban to design her bedroom in this style, her parents were endorsing this idea for her to be bold with her life and take advantage of these new ways of thinking.” Well, maybe not too bold. In his original proposal, Urban wanted to have a reproduction of The Dancer by the great (and often erotic) Viennese painter Gustav Klimt placed in the bedroom; the painting depicted a partially nude woman. Leo nixed it, as well as its $1,000 cost. “He didn’t seem shy about spending money in other areas,” says Dehan. “So my

guess is it was the nudity that made him say it was inappropriate, but I don’t know that definitively.” Elaine lived in this bedroom for just five years before tragedy struck the family. In 1934, she was driving her father to see his mother in Michigan when she swerved to avoid a parked car. Her vehicle overturned, and Leo was thrown from the car and died at age 50. It was front-page news in The Chicago Daily Tribune; even The New York Times covered it. A marriage and move to Cincinnati provided a new and different life. Thomas Reis was an investment banker whose grandfather had cofounded the Seasongood & Mayer public finance firm here. After living in a North Avondale apartment, Elaine and Thomas moved to their home in East Walnut Hills, where they would raise sons John and Richard and daughter Mary. Of those interviewed for this story, none recall Elaine ever bringing up the auto accident as a reason for saving her bedroom furnishings. Dehan and Ellis participated in interviews with her before she died, but the crash never came up. “She never specifically explained why she saved all these things,” Dehan says. “I have to believe she understood the importance of this commission even though [she was] very young when it all came together. She knew the value and beauty of what she had, as well as Joseph Urban’s importance, and she wanted to save as much of his creation as she could.” Elaine’s son Richard Reis, who like his father worked at Seasongood & Mayer, says that “the bedroom wasn’t something we dwelled on at home, other than where all these beautiful things came from.” He wonders how his mother would respond if she knew the Art Deco Bedroom exhibition was happening.“I would think my mother would be oh so proud,” he says. “I wish she were here to have all the memories and explain all her emotions, having her girlfriends up to the bedroom and living the high life that she did. And then having it all end.” Family members, too, will be proud when the show opens. Elaine’s granddaughter Meghan Sullivan Nelson, whose mother—Elaine’s daughter Mary—died in 2019, feels a special bond with the exhibition. “I think it’s important and meaning-

ful to me, having lost both my grandmother and mother,” she says. “It’s really a beautiful link in our family.” AS POIGNANT AND TOUCHING AS THE story about Elaine’s bedroom is, the exhibition is very much about restoring Urban’s legacy, too. Coincidentally, there is a Cincinnati Art Museum connection to the man who first sounded the call to pay more attention to Urban’s career— Timothy Rub, the museum’s director from 2000 to 2006. In 1987 and 1988, while a curator at the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum in New York, Rub presented an exhibition called Vienna/New York: The Work of Joseph Urban. “Back then he was virtually unknown by contemporary architectural historians,” recalls Rub, now the director emeritus at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. “I did a show—not a big show—in the downstairs galleries that introduced him and his work to the public. It must have been the fi rst exhibition of his work in New York in maybe 40 or 50 years.” Rub had become interested in Urban while working on an earlier show at Cooper Hewitt devoted to New York skyscrapers. In his research, he found a reference to Urban’s plan to build a 20-story tower atop the Hearst office building he’d already designed. That led Rub to the Urban archives at Columbia University, and he was impressed. “He worked across the fields of architecture and pictorial arts,” he says. “You shake your head in amazement.” Rub salutes CAM’s ambition in staging Art Deco Bedroom, given the lack of public familiarity with Urban. “If I take a stroll through my own memories and count the number of times I’ve seen a work by Joseph Urban—a chair, a clock, sideboard, what have you—in museum galleries around this country, I can still count those on one hand,” he says. There’s another important connection between Urban and Cincinnati, too. In 1928, he designed downtown Hotel Gibson’s elegant Roof Garden, a supper club with dancing that featured the dazzling colors and ornamentation of so much of his work. It also had a fu-

AN ART DECO BEDROOM turistic “scientiﬁc cooling mechanism” for climate control. When it opened, The Enquirer wrote that “critics who are in a position to know declare [it] the most modern restaurant in America.” The Cooper Hewitt Museum has a color illustration by Urban of the space, which it displayed in a 2017 exhibit that later traveled to the Cleveland Museum of Art. That illustration will be on display in Art Deco Bedroom, too. “It was a new type of interior for the period,” says Emily M. Orr, Cooper Hewitt’s associate curator and acting head of product design and decorative arts. “Urban seems to have cornered the market for this new demand for space for eating and drinking and also dancing and entertainment, all at once. For a number of hotels, he created these spaces that would transport all his visitors to a fantasy place. He almost built an interior decoration as if it was a theater set and allowed you to dine on stage.” When Urban died, he was at the top of his game and had just created a color scheme to unify building exteriors at the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair. One of his watercolor renderings for it, loaned by Columbia University’s Rare Book & Manuscript Library, will be part of the CAM show. Urban’s death merited an Enquirer news story, which called him a “daring exponent of modernism.” That reputation was forgotten in the following decades, but Art Deco Bedroom hopes to revive it, along with the thrill of Art Deco design in its heyday. Pauletta Hansel, writer-in-residence for the Cincinnati and Hamilton County Public Library, marvels that Art Deco remains popular today. Her enduring admiration for Union Terminal, designed in 1929 and opened in 1933, rests on its ability to survive the passenger train era it was meant to serve. “Paradoxically, Union Terminal remains a survivor,” Hansel writes in an essay explaining Art Deco’s continued appeal. “And I love it despite—maybe because—obsolescence was written into its DNA. I love how it survives on beauty.” You can say the same about Joseph Urban’s bedroom for a teenage socialite. 9 0 C I N C I N N AT I M A G A Z I N E . C O M J U LY 2 0 2 2

ready-made cigarettes, 80 percent of the snuff, 62 percent of plug, or chewing tobacco, and 60 percent of all smoking tobacco.” Pair that with the fact that “Duke continued to gobble up his competitors and instituted mergers with foreign ﬁrms,” adds Soodalter, and “The ‘Duke Trust,’ as the American Tobacco Company was then being called, dominated both the domestic and foreign tobacco markets.” Duke also, notes Rumford in a book he wrote called Tobacco, Trusts, and Trump, had warehouses full of a massive surplus of tobacco, “going back to the 1890s.” As leader of the Tobacco Trust, it was in Duke’s best interest to keep profits up by keeping costs down, so “Duke used his control of the industry to slash the per-pound selling price of tobacco,” notes Soodalter. The problem with that plan, he adds, was that “by the late 1890s, through the elimination of the competitive bidding process whereby growers sold their crops for reasonable prices, [Duke] brought the growers— many of whom operated on a subsistence level in the best of times—close to ruin. Farmers lost their farms or went heavily into debt just to put in their crop for the coming year.” In other words, when Duke’s buyers stopped paying tobacco farmers the higher rates they were used to getting and instead began offering them 1, 2, or 3 cents per pound, tobacco farmers in Bracken County and elsewhere couldn’t make enough money to feed their families and stay solvent (it cost roughly 6 or 7 cents per pound to raise tobacco back then, per Gregory). Making matters worse, the federal government imposed a national tax on tobacco right around the same time. So, although Kentucky’s 38 tobacco factories “led the nation in

tobacco production” in the early 1890s, says Soodalter, tobacco farmers still found themselves under water. Backed into a corner, many tobacco growers in Kentucky and Tennessee felt their only choice was to organize into a group of their own to try to force Duke to pay more per pound for tobacco. In September 1904, led by a wealthy Kentucky landowner named Felix Grundy Ewing, 5,000 tobacco growers from Kentucky and Tennessee met at a fairgrounds in Guthrie, Kentucky—a roughly 300-person town back then, on the border of the two states—and officially formed the Dark Tobacco District Planters’ Protective Association of Kentucky and Tennessee, known as the PPA. “All counties that raised dark ﬁre tobacco joined it,” Gregory notes (similar groups formed among the White Burley tobacco growers in places like Bracken County, says Rumford). “The idea was that all of them would hold crops off the market and force Duke to raise the price of tobacco,” Gregory continues. “The problem for the association would be those farmers who chose not to join—hillbillies in the eyes of the association members, independents in the eyes of themselves.” In the beginning, independents like Mr. Kinney were both tolerated and expected. Initially, in fact, the PPA—which had a stated goal, says Soodalter, of getting Duke to pay 8 cents per pound for PPA members’ tobacco—strove for attaining 70 percent of farmers in each county as members. But by September 1905, notes the History of Bracken County by a group called the Bracken County Extension Homemakers, “it became evident that not all growers were going to join the Planters Association and that the Trust would continue to oppose and try to break the association’s back.” Frustrated and broke, a smaller group of PPA members, led by a doctor named David Amoss, formed a separate group, called the Possum Hunters, with the goal of persuading independent farmers, via letters and in-person visits, to join the PPA. Within weeks, the Possum Hunters turned to more violent means of coercion. “By December of 1905,” the History of Bracken County notes, “to-

UP IN SMOKE bacco factories and warehouses of nonassociation members were beginning to be burned and destroyed.” BY 1906, THE POSSUM HUNTERS WERE known to most as Night Riders instead— masked men who took blood oaths not to give up one another’s names and who rode through the countryside under cover of darkness wreaking havoc on non-association members who grew any kind of tobacco. “The Night Riders were a spontaneous growth,” noted author Ruth Moore Craig in a 1954 Courier Journal Magazine piece on display at Maysville’s Kentucky Gateway Museum Center. “But as always happens to a group operating outside the law, the Night Riders got out of hand.” The group’s leaders began training in intimidation tactics with the Ku Klux Klan. Soon, farmers were being beaten and left to die. Many who didn’t join the PPA abandoned their land and moved out of state. Those who stayed watched farms, entire

timated 10,000. “Officially,” the History of Bracken County notes, the PPA “disowned and discounted any connection with the Night Riding activities; however, many high Night Rider officials were also prominent members of the Planters’ Association.” Finally, in 1907, reports Soodalter, the Night Riders and PPA accomplished their goal. “The destruction of Trust storage warehouses, combined with the Association members withholding tobacco from the buyers, gave rise to a short crop in the winter of 1907–1908.” The Tobacco Trust ﬁnally agreed to pay the PPA its original target price: 8 cents per pound of tobacco. At that moment, Soodalter notes, “the Planters’ Protective Association simply could have declared a victory and folded its tents.” Instead, the Night Riders dug in their heels and the raids grew more destructive and deadly than before. In early 1908, state and federal officials ﬁnally got involved when newly-elected Kentucky Governor Augustus Wilson

(The latter “made the nation’s papers,” notes Soodalter, “including The New York Times and Harper’s Weekly.”) Some citizens successfully fought back. Clarksville, Tennessee, had a private militia headed up by a former sheriff. An article in Mr. Kinney’s scrapbook notes Kentucky citizens from both Woodford County and Hopkinsville formed their own “law and order league” to counteract the Night Riders’ damage, which they alleged was intended not just to “intimidate and coerce, but also to inaugurate a reign of terror.” For the most part, though, the farmers the Night Riders targeted were, like Mr. Kinney, alone and largely powerless to ﬁght back. Though Mr. Kinney never gave in, the Night Riders’ scare tactics worked on others. Soon, PPA membership grew to an es9 2 C I N C I N N AT I M A G A Z I N E . C O M J U LY 2 0 2 2

declared martial law and sent state militia (and possibly even National Guard) members to several counties to protect farmers, just as they’d tried to protect Mr. Kinney. Suddenly, citizens who had been silently horrified but afraid of retaliation began outing their neighbors and—judging from Mr. Kinney’s scrapbook—newspapers began publishing their names. Though fear of retaliation and personal connections to either Night Riders or the PPA stopped many judges and juries from convicting most Night Riders for their actions, legal threats and public attention likely led many men to turn away from the organization. By 1910, membership in the PPA fell “drastically,” reports Soodalter, “with more members leaving all the time.” Shortly thereafter, Possum Hunters founder Dr. David Amoss and other suspected Night Riders were arrested and put on trial but “found not guilty on a technicality.”

On May 15, 1911, “the U.S. government ruled Buck Duke’s Tobacco Trust violated the 1890 Sherman Antitrust Act and ordered it disbanded,” Rumford writes in Tobacco, Trusts, and Trump (ditto, he notes, for John D. Rockefeller’s Standard Oil Company). Roughly four years later, the PPA officially disbanded as well, after the start of World War I. Buck Duke, it should be noted, went on to found the precursor to Duke Energy and made generous financial contributions to various nonprofit, religious, and educational organizations, including his namesake university in North Carolina—formerly Trinity College; now Duke University. In a book about him by Duke history professor emeritus Robert F. Durden, Buck Duke is quoted as saying,“There ain’t a thrill in the world to compare with building a business and watching it grow before your eyes.” SCRAPBOOK AND DECADES OF REsearch aside, Rumford learned a lot of what he knows about tobacco and the wars from time spent with family and working as a kid with his Grandpa Rumford to grow a small tobacco patch of his own—a tough but appropriate first job for someone with deep roots in Bracken County. Still, when an eager young Rumford reported all he’d learned about the Tobacco Wars to his Cincinnati grade-school teachers in the late 1940s, they essentially told him he was crazy. No such thing, they said, had ever happened. But Rumford knew better. His great grandfather had made sure of it. Thanks to Mr. Kinney’s newspaper clippings, Rumford learned about 300 masked men who invaded the town of Eddyville, took 10 men from their homes and horsewhipped them all. He learned Night Rider activity happened as far north as Ripley, Ohio, and that people like Carson Bohrofe, an undercover Secret Service agent, were assigned to infiltrate the Night Riders and learn their secrets before the government troops swept in to protect the farmers. And he learned about how one Night Rider’s errant bullet—described as a “death pellet” by a paper called the Times Star—“came near ending the life” of an independent farmer’s baby. Rumford learned about people like H.L. Staton, an independent tobacco buyer from

UP IN SMOKE Brooksville (near the Kinneys) who dealt directly with the Tobacco Trust. When a group of roughly 75 Night Riders visited him, newspapers reported, they tied Staton to a wagon and dragged him to the center of town; there, they forced him to open the doors of his own tobacco barn and burned all 50,000 pounds of tobacco leaf inside. They also took over the local telegraph office so no one could reach out for help, then beat Staton with a black snake whip on streets in the center of town, in front of the homes of county officers and a judge. No one stood up for him or spoke out. After reading a full-page piece Mr. Kinney cut out from the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune, Rumford learned the story of Nicholas County farmer Hiram Hedges, who was murdered in Carlisle, Kentucky. “We were awakened after midnight by someone throwing rocks against our home,” Hedges’s 21-year-old son named Sam is quoted as saying. When Hedges opened the front door to confront the men, one of the Night

Riders shot him. Sam picked up his father’s lifeless body, dragged it back to his room, then somehow forced the mob to leave. Rumford learned about Mary Lou Hollowell, who was indicted in the Caldwell Circuit Court on charges of being an accessory to the Night Riders’ cause by “the scraping of plant beds” (i.e., killing tobacco plants). He learned about Newton Hazlett, an “alleged Night Rider” found murdered but armed with a half empty pistol and a pair of wire clippers on the farm of a man named Walker Duncan. He had received letters threatening to burn his barn and crops; when he heard horse-riding trespassers on his property one night, Duncan dodged two shots and, in turn, emptied both barrels of his own shotgun into the alleged shooter, who turned out to be Hazlett. And Rumford learned from the scrapbook about a raid in Dayton, Kentucky, where a group of Night Riders was accused of destroying $15,000 worth of property, including 12.5 tons of tobacco, three homes,

a tobacco shed that “had been saturated with oil,” and a large barn. The same article notes that other nearby tobacco farmers had received letters in their mailboxes written in red ink, saying: “Warning this means you. You sell your tobacco for less than 15 cents per pound, you will see what you will get. Try it and See.” In 1939, Robert Penn Warren, who would become the nation’s first poet laureate, published his inaugural novel, Night Rider. Penn Warren was born in Guthrie, Kentucky, in 1905—the near-epicenter of the Tobacco Wars—so his first novel set out to recreate “not only the men and the motives that drive them but the whole flavor of this world”— the world of tobacco growers and buyers, the PPA, Night Riders, and Buck Duke. What Penn Warren ends up describing, notes George Core in the introduction to the book’s 1992 edition, is how “…the Association of Growers of Dark Fired Tobacco reels out of control, moving from a democratic to a revolutionary organization, and finally

9 4 C I N C I N N AT I M A G A Z I N E . C O M J U LY 2 0 2 2

standing for much the same values as those its makers originally bridled against.” No one knows if Mr. Kinney saw the same cycle at play. But his scrapbook ends up telling the very same story Penn Warren told, about human behavior and the degeneration of the PPA’s good intentions into chaos, unrestrained violence, and near anarchy. THE STORY OF THE TOBACCO WARS doesn’t really end with Buck Duke’s monopoly breaking up, or even with the dissolution of the PPA and other organizations like it. The story of the Tobacco Wars ends with the stories of the people who lived through them. H.L. Staton wound up suing four of the Night Riders (three tobacco farmers and a Brooksville Marshall) for $50,000 in damages; he was awarded $2,200. The newspaper reporter who wrote about Hiram Hedges appealed to readers to donate money to support the family, noting

that “decent citizens live in constant danger of assault or assassinations and honorable men who have wronged no man live under the menace of the lash and torch.” Dr. David Amoss died in New York City following surgery to remove a throat tumor; his son Harold L. Amoss became the ﬁrst chair of the department of medicine at Duke University. Mary Lou Hollowell was ultimately pardoned for her “plant scraping” work on behalf of the Night Riders. And George Washington Kinney was both scarred and haunted by the Night Riders’ horse-whipping until the day he died. Legend has it, says Rumford, he once waved a glass cane that he’d purchased at the World’s Fair at his own son, threatening: You Night Rider! You’re not gonna hurt me again. Even so, the Kinneys and Jetts became forever entwined after the marriage of Tom and Alma. In fact, Tom, Alma, and many of their descendants, including Rumford’s mom, are buried at the Brooks-

ville cemetery—a small plot of land on a hilltop nestled between the outlying farms and downtown Brooksville, with its golddomed courthouse, “mansion house” (a stately 1919 brick home in the center of town), post office, two churches, and a handful of small businesses. Every chance he gets, Rumford goes back to visit his old Kentucky home, crossing the Ohio River on the Augusta Ferry or driving via the Highway 68 bridge, then up from Maysville into Bracken County. The hills in Brooksville are mostly grass now, or other crops. Brick ranch homes on tidy cul-de-sacs sit today where farmland once sprawled for hundreds of acres, and cars and pickup trucks buzz by on Highway 10, the old National Highway, where Night Riders once traveled on horseback to Mr. Kinney’s log home. But the memory of what happened in that place some 120 years ago lives on, thanks to George Washington Kinney and his great-grandson, the current keeper of the scrapbook.

DINING OUT

BRANCHING OUT With ALCOVE, MadTree puts down roots in the world of ﬁne dining. — B R A N D O N W U S K E

F IT WERE POSSIBLE FOR A RESTAURANT TO BE A “SUPERGROUP,” ALCOVE BY MADTREE Brewing would certainly be one. That’s because the bar/restaurant/event space in Over-the-Rhine is a collaboration between one of the Cincinnati area’s most beloved breweries (MadTree) and one of its most venerated chefs—Stephen Williams, whose Covington farm-to-table bistro, Bouquet, frequently graces our annual Best Restaurants issue. Of course, a supergroup needs an equally super venue, and Alcove ﬁts the bill. The stately two-story brick building dates back to 1873, a date proudly emblazoned on its bright white exterior. It also happens to have one of the most fascinating histories of any building in Cincinnati. In the late 19th century, when the building housed one of Cincinnati’s premier beer gardens, top political honchos like George “Boss” Cox famously held court in its cavernous interior. If these walls could talk, they would roar. On second thought, that roar would surely be hushed by all the vegetation. While lush ﬂoral arrangements are very much the trend (see Somerset, Saeso, and Spoon), Alcove takes this concept to the next level with the multihued jungle growing out of the wall behind the bar. In a spectacular display of branding, MadTree’s logo is emblazoned in verdure in the middle of this “living wall.” The term “urban oasis” gets thrown around a lot, but at Alcove—an airy watering hole with breezy outdoor space and greenery—the term couldn’t be more apt. As one might expect from a restaurant with so much plant life, fruits and vegetables play heavily into Williams’s and Executive Chef Brandon Lomax’s collaborative menu.

room tartine, with its caramelized onions and pungent horseradish, for example. It’s worth noting that the mushrooms come from Cincinnati’s own Rich Life Farms. Like Bouquet, Alcove reflects Williams’s— and his team’s—commitment to sustainable sourcing from small, often local, vendors. Similar provenances can be found throughout the menu. The smoked trout spread, like the beet salad, is colorful and artfully presented, with its green dill, purple flower petals, and pink pickled onions. Like a silky pâté, it spreads easily over the accompanying grilled bread. It’s perfect for soaking up a MadTree PsycHOPathy or Happy Amber. If you are looking for something to accompany a light, refreshing beer, order the braised chicken sliders, which evoke a sunny backyard BBQ. The spice from the jerk seasoning stokes a slow and pleasant burn, one that is happily extinguished with the proper libations. That the dishes at Alcove are meant to be served with drinks is evident in the layout of the menu itself. As of this writing, there are only four entrées; the bulk of the menu is made up of snacks and small plates, clearly meant to be nibbled and shared between collective sips. While the drink menu is expectedly strong on MadTree beers, it also features a robust wine list and a diverse array of craft cocktails, the herbs for which are grown on site. Turns out, all those plants aren’t just for show. The entrées, though few, are surprisingly representative, with beef, pork, fish (a rotating “fresh catch”), and tofu rounding out the options. Of the four, the Sakura Farms steak is the highlight. It’s a Denver Cut, a leaner cut of beef taken from the

shoulder. Despite its leanness, it’s tender and flavorful, cooked to a perfect medium rare, as requested. With its rich demi-glace and horseradish aioli, this literal meat-and-potatoes (red, skin on) dish ate like a juicy prime rib. It pairs well with the fullbodied red blend our server recommended. Perhaps the best example of sophisticated comfort food on the menu is the pork shank, served with pimento cheese grits and buttery carrots. It’s large and deliciously fatty, reminding me of a good country rib. The “fresh catch” (walleye, in another nod to our region) is also delightful. Served with its skin on, it’s perfectly charred, much like the accompanying brussels sprouts. Sunchokes enhanced the flavor, while a parsnip puree added a creamy touch and subtle bite. As with the entrées, the dessert menu is similarly pared down.. It’s somewhat seasonal, with a rotating fruit crisp (apple, when I was there) providing a final bite of freshness at the end of the meal. If you’re worried that committed, small-batch sourcing plus meticulous attention to detail equals outlandish prices, fear not. The most expensive entrée (the steak) is $32, a great value for the quality and portion. Most of the snacks and small plates hover right around $10. With those prices, Alcove is poised to be the neighborhood’s “something for everyone” restaurant—a place for a quick drink and bite at the bar or a special occasion dinner. In fact, it seems to be several Over-the-Rhine drinking and dining experiences at once. It’s trendy but historic. It’s a craft brewery, a wine bar, and a craft cocktail lounge. It’s outdoors-meets-indoors. It’s focused fine dining and laid-back beer garden. Of course, balancing all those disparate elements as seamlessly as Alcove does takes the assurance of a master wheeler-dealer. Boss Cox would be proud.

AMERICAN BRONTË BISTRO

You might think this is a lunch-only spot where you can nosh on a chicken salad sandwich after browsing next door at Joseph-Beth Booksellers. But this Norwood eatery feels welcoming after work, too. The dinner menu features entrées beyond the rotating soup and quiche roster that’s popular at noon. Fried chicken? Check. Quesadillas and other starters? Yep. An assortment of burgers? Present, including turkey and veggie versions. Casual food rules the day but the surprise is Brontë Bistro’s lineup of adult beverages, which elevates the place above a basic bookstore coffeeshop. The regular drinks menu includes such mainstays as Hemingway’s Daiquiri, a tribute to the author who drank them (often to excess). 2692 Madison Rd., Norwood, (513) 396-8970, josephbeth.com. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner seven days. MCC. $

COPPIN’S

With wine on tap and an extensive local beer list, Coppin’s is an ideal place to meet for drinks. In addition to plenty of Kentucky bourbon, much of the produce, meat, and cheese comes from local growers and producers. House-cured meat and cheese from Kenny’s Farmhouse and cheese from Urban Stead populate the “Artisan Cheese and Charcuterie Board,” which dresses up the main attractions with honey, dijon mustard, house pickles, and Sixteen Bricks purple barley bread. The mussels—made with seasonally rotating sauces and chorizo from Napoleon Ridge Farms in Gallatin County—were served with a peppery tomato sauce, perfect for sopping up with bread. The seven-ounce Sakura Farms Wagyu rib eye with wild mushrooms, roasted parsnip, and beef jus is a must have. Or try the striped bass with grape farro roasted broccolini and mussel cream sauce.

OTTO’S

Chef/owner Paul Weckman opened Otto’s, named after his father-in-law, with $300 worth of food and one employee—himself. Weckman’s food is soothing, satisfying, and occasionally, too much of a good thing. His tomato pie is beloved by lunch customers: Vine-ripe tomatoes, fresh basil, and chopped green onions packed into a homemade pie shell, topped with a cheddar cheese spread, and baked until bubbly. Weckman’s straightforward preparations are best. The shrimp and grits with sauteed shrimp spinach, mushrooms, Cajun beurre blanc atop a fried grit cake, short ribs braised in red wine and herbs, served over mashed potatoes with green beans and caramelized baby carrots that will bring you the comfort of a home-cooked meal.

RED FEATHER KITCHEN

Historically peasant-grade cuts of meat get the full Pygmalion treatment at Red Feather in Oakley, where there’s deep respect for the time and tending necessary to bring a short rib, pork chop, or hanger steak to its full potential. After a quick sear to lock in juices, the steak takes a turn in the wood-ﬁred oven. While primal cuts play a leading role, the supporting cast is just as captivating. The hot snap of fresh ginger in the carrot soup was especially warming on a winter evening and

the crispy skin on the Verlasso salmon acts as the foil to the plump, rich ﬂesh. Service here only improves the experience. 3200 Madison Rd., Oakley, (513) 407-3631, redfeatherkitchen.com. Dinner Tues–Sun, brunch Sun. MCC. $$

TRIO

Trio is nothing if not a crowd pleaser. Whether you’re in the mood for a California-style pizza or ﬁlet mignon (with side salad, garlic mashed potatoes, sauteed swiss chard, and mushroom jus), the menu is broad enough to offer something for everyone. It may lack a cohesive point of view, but with the number of regulars who come in seven nights a week, variety is Trio’s ace in the hole. A simple margherita pizza with roma tomatoes, basil, Parmesan, and provolone delivered a ﬁne balance of crunchy crust, sharp cheese, and sweet, roasted tomatoes. Paired with a glass of pinot noir, it made a perfect light meal. The service is friendly enough for a casual neighborhood joint but comes with white tablecloth attentiveness and knowledge. Combine that with the consistency in the kitchen, and Trio is a safe bet. 7565 Kenwood Rd., Kenwood, (513) 984-1905, triobistro.com. Lunch and dinner seven days. MCC, DC. $$$

BARBECUE BEE’S BARBEQUE

You’ll want to get to Bee’s Barbecue in Madisonville early if you want to avoid the line of friendly regulars. The restaurant’s smoker churns out a variety of meats—including brisket, pulled pork, ribs, turkey breast, and two kinds of sausage—so it’s easy to see why they keep coming back. If you enjoy the spicy grease that oozes out of a good chorizo, you’ll love the Cincinnati Hot Link, which tastes like the delicious love child of a chorizo and a hot mett. Word to the wise: Bee’s opens at 11 a.m. and closes when they run out of meat. Understandably, this doesn’t take long. 5910 Chandler St., Madisonville, (513) 5612337, beesbarbecue.com. Lunch and dinner Wed–Sat. MCC. $ ICON BY JESSICA DUNHAM

ELI’S BBQ

Elias Leisring started building his pulled pork reputation under canopies at Findlay Market and Fountain Square in 2011. Leisring’s proper little ’cue shack along the river serves up ribs that are speaking-in-tongues good, some of the zazziest jalapeño cheese grits north of the MasonDixon line, and browned mashed potatoes that would make any short order cook diner-proud. The small no-frills restaurant—packed cheek-by-jowl most nights—feels like it’s been there a lifetime, with customers dropping vinyl on the turntable, dogs romping in the side yard, and picnic tables crowded with diners. The hooch is bring-your-own, and the barbecue is bona ﬁde. 3313 Riverside Dr., East End, (513) 533-1957, elisbarbeque.com. Lunch and dinner seven days. MCC. $

SINNERS & SAINTS TAVERN

You won’t leave this Texas smokehouse/sports bar hungry. From the brisket—served with Texas BBQ sauce, white bread, and pickles, or on toasted sourdough—to the chicken thighs, you can’t go wrong with these richly smoked flavors. Several dishes, like the Korean style pork belly, the pulled pork naan tacos, and Bigos stew, draw on global influences, while the sides take flavors back to the country (try the creamy coleslaw, the house-made mac and cheese, and chili-spiced cornbread).

CHINESE CHINESE IMPERIAL INN

The chilies-on-steroids cooking here will have you mopping beads of garlic-laced sweat from your brow. The musky, ﬁrecracker-red Mongolian chicken stabilizes somewhere just before nirvana exhaustion, and aggressively pungent shredded pork with dried bean curd leaves your eyes gloriously glistening from its spicy hot scarlet oil. Even an ice cold beer practically evaporates on your tongue. Do not fear: not all the dishes are incendiary. Try the seafood—lobster, Manila clams, Dungeness and blue crabs, whelk, and oysters— prepared with tamer garlicky black bean sauce, or ginger and green onions. The Cantonese wonton soup, nearly as mild as your morning bowl of oatmeal, is as memorable as the feverish stuff. Sliced pork and shrimp are pushed into the steaming bowl of noodles and greens just before serving. Think comforting, grandmotherly tenderness. 11042 Reading Rd., Sharonville, (513) 563-6888, chineseimperialinn.com. Lunch and dinner seven days. MC, V, DS. $

ORIENTAL WOK

CAJUN/ CARIBBEAN BREWRIVER CREOLE

More than 800 miles from New Orleans, this may be as close as you can get to the real deal here in your own backyard. The menu fully leans into Chef Michael Shields’s penchant for cuisine from the Crescent City. His six years of training under NOLA’s own Emeril Lagasse comes through in a scratch kitchen menu that spans a range of the city’s classics. The enormous shrimp and oyster po’ boys—the former protein fried in a light and crispy beer batter and the latter in a hearty cornmeal breading—are served on ﬂuffy French bread loaves and dressed with lightly spicy rémoulades. The jambalaya packs all the heat of a late summer day in the French Quarter without masking a hint of its satisfying ﬂavors. Paired with a Sazerac and nightly live jazz, you may just feel tempted to start a second line. 4632 Eastern Ave., Linwood, (513) 861-2484, brewrivercreolekitchen.com. Dinner Tues–Sun, brunch and lunch Sat & Sun. MCC. $

SWAMPWATER GRILL

At first blush, this place is a dive where homesick Cajuns can find a good pile of jambalaya. But thoughtful details like draft Abita Root Beer and char-grilled Gulf Coast oysters on the half shell signal its ambition. Bayou standards like jambalaya, gumbo, and fried seafood also make an appearance. But the extensive menu also features amped up pub-style items for those who may be squeamish about crawfish tails (which can be added to just about anything on the menu). You’ll also find a roundup of oyster, shrimp, and catfish Po’Boys, as well as a selection of hardwood-smoked meats.

This is the restaurant of your childhood memories: the showy Las Vegas-meets-China decor, the ebulliently comedic host, the chop sueys, chow meins, and crab rangoons that have never met a crab. But behind the giant elephant tusk entryway and past the goldfish ponds and fountains is the genuine hospitality and warmth of the Wong family, service worthy of the finest dining establishments, and some very good food that’s easy on the palate. Best are the fresh fish: salmon, sea bass, and halibut steamed, grilled, or flash fried in a wok, needing little more than the ginger–green onion sauce that accompanies them. Even the chicken lo mein is good. It may not be provocative, but not everyone wants to eat blazing frogs in a hot pot. 317 Buttermilk Pke., Ft.

RAYMOND’S HONG KONG CAFÉ

It has all the elements of your typical neighborhood Chinese restaurant: Strip mall location. General Tso and kung pao chicken. Fortune cookies accompanying the bill. The dragon decoration. But it is the nontraditional aspects of Raymond’s Hong Kong Café that allow it to stand apart. The menu goes beyond standard Chinese fare with dishes that range from Vietnamese (beef noodle soup) to American (crispy Cornish hen). The Portuguese-style baked chicken references Western European inﬂuences on Chinese cuisine with an assemblage of fried rice, peppers, carrots, broccoli, zucchini, and squash all simmering together in a creamy bath of yellow curry sauce. Deciding what to order is a challenge, but at least you won’t be disappointed. 11051 Clay Dr., Walton, (859) 485-2828. Lunch and dinner seven days. MCC. $$

ECLECTIC

KNOTTY PINE ON THE BAYOU

The Pine serves some of the best Louisiana home-style food you’ll find this far north of New Orleans. Taste the fried catfish filets with their peppery crust, or the garlic sauteed shrimp with smoky greens on the side, and you’ll understand why it’s called soul food. Between March and June, it’s crawfish season. Get them boiled and heaped high on a platter or in a superb crawfish etouffee. But the rockin’ gumbo—a thick, murky brew of andouille sausage, chicken, and vegetables—serves the best roundhouse punch all year round. As soon as you inhale the bouquet and take that first bite, you realize why Cajun style food is considered a high

Boca has an air of international sophistication that sets its food apart. The hamachi crudo, an old standby on the menu, takes Japanese ﬂavors and gives them new dimensions with grapefruit suprêmes and slivers of shishito pepper. This is food of extraordinary creativity and ﬂair.

BOCA

With its grand staircase, chandelier, and ﬂoorto-ceiling draperies, Boca has an atmosphere of grandeur and reﬁnement. There is a sense of drama not only in the decor but in everything it serves. In some dishes, there is a painterly sense of contrast and surprise, like violet-derived purple sugar beside the pain de Gênes (French almond cake). In others, there is a dramatic suspense, like the whole egg yolk quivering in the center of the Fassone tartare waiting to be broken. While staying mostly grounded in the fundamentals of Italian and French cuisine, Top 10

BRANCH

Located in a huge Art Deco building, formerly a bank, Branch has taken this potentially cavernous and impersonal space and made it intimate. Diners might recognize the vibe from this restaurant group’s first venture, Northside’s The Littlefield. The restaurant serves what we would call “international home-style,” taking inspiration from the comfort food of many cultures. It maintains a balance between cooking to a higher price point and creating an atmosphere of refinement without losing the informal neighborhood feel. The shrimp and grits—served soupy in a big bowl with an addictively sweet-and-sour green tomato marmalade swirled into the creamy grits—are taken surprising heights. Another notable item is a dish that wouldn’t normally get a mention in a review: the french fries. They demonstrate that food that is usually mindlessly inhaled can be worth savoring if it is made with enough love. 1535 Madison Rd., East Walnut Hills, (513) 221-2702, eatatbranch.com.

CROWN REPUBLIC GASTROPUB

What makes Crown Republic special isn’t its handful of outstanding dishes. It’s the place’s sheer consistency. No single dish is absolutely mind-blowing or completely original, but when almost everything that comes out is genuinely tasty, the service is always friendly and attentive, and (stop the presses!) the bill is quite a bit less than you expected, you sit up and pay attention. The crab and avocado toast, served on grilled bread with lime juice and slivers of pickled Fresno chiles, is a prime example of what makes Crown Republic tick. The cocktails are equally unfussy and good, like the Tipsy Beet, made with vodka, housemade beet shrub, cucumber, mint, and citrus peel. Crown Republic has a mysterious quality that I can only describe as “good energy.” 720 Sycamore St., downtown, (513) 246-4272, crgcincy. com. Lunch and dinner Tues–Sat. MCC. $$

E+O KITCHEN

The former Beluga space comes alive with a menu that conjoins minimalist Asian with gutsy-cum-earthy Latin. The results are hit-or-miss: while guacamole was pointlessly studded with edamame, the pork belly buns are especially tender. Taco plates are a safe bet, with the “sol” pastor— pineapple coupled with Korean kimchi, bulgogi pork, and cilantro—hitting all the right notes. More adventurous palates may opt for the nuanced ramen—the pork and soy broth teeming with cuts of both pork belly and slow-cooked shoulder, while a superbly poached egg lingers at the edge, awaiting its curtain call. Service is friendly but tends to sputter when it comes to the basics of hospitality. 3520 Edwards Rd., Hyde Park, (513) 832-1023, eokitchen.com. Lunch and dinner seven days. MCC. $$

The latest effort from local restaurant juggernaut Thunderdome, owner of the Currito franchise. Order at the counter, then ﬁnd your own table, and a server will deliver what you’ve selected. There’s no cohesive cuisine, rather, the menu takes its cue from all corners of the globe: chicken tinga, spaghetti pomodoro, a New York Strip steak, guajillo chicken are all represented, along with a satisfying pappardelle with house-made sausage. Brunch is available all day; try the light lemon ricotta pancakes or the satisfying avocado benedict. 525 Race St., downtown, (513) 421-2100, maplewoodkitchenandbar.com.

METROPOLE

Metropole has been remarkably stable since it opened in 2012. Even when chefs have left, the organization has promoted from within, kept popular dishes on the menu, and maintained a certain vibe, a balance between sophistication and rusticity. Its vegetarian fare contains many of its most inventive and delightful creations. The chilled cantaloupe soup has a creamy note from coconut milk and a hint of spice floating in at the end of every bite to balance the subtle, melon-y sweetness. The fancy “candy bar,” with its light and crispy peanut wafers and ring of flourless chocolate cake and caramel, encapsulates Metropole at its best: fun and whimsical, but rooted in careful execution of deep and satisfying flavors. 609 Walnut St., downtown, (513) 578-6660, metropoleonwalnut.com.

OKTO

This lively mash-up is a telling symbol of Earth+Ocean Restaurant Group’s flexible approach to traditional food. In what other Greek restaurant would the best cocktail be a smoky, chile-laced paloma, normally associated with Mexico? Or would the dish of lamb chops come dressed with gremolata, which we’ve never seen on anything but Italian food? E+O has always prided itself on its eclectic take on regional cuisine and they serve up something similarly fun and varied here. Those looking for classic Greek food will find plenty to satisfy them. The lamb kebabs, served ground, with the classic roasted tomato on the side; or the spanakopita, which had a lovely flaky crust, not too oily, and a perfectly seasoned balance of feta and spinach in the filling. The fun Okto has with Greek cuisine means there is already plenty that is good, plus plenty of room to grow. 645 Walnut St., downtown, (513) 632-9181, oktocincinnati.com. Lunch & dinner Mon-Sat.

Choose from one of seven sauce options—BBQ, original, chipotle-mayo, hot garlic, General Tso, Carolina gold, and island jerk—pick your hunger lever (ﬁve, 10, 25, or 60 wings), and chow down. If you’re feeling especially brave, take the wing challenge and consume 10 winges tossed in housemade “super mega ultra hot sauce” in ﬁve mintues, and you’ll get your wings for free and a picture on the wall of fame. 1403 Vine St., Over-the-Rhine, (513) 579-8500, pontiacbbq.com.

There’s more on the menu than the authentic Belgian treat, though it would be a crime to miss the chicken and waffles: a dense, yeasty waffle topped with a succulent buttermilk fried chicken breast, Frank’s hot sauce, and maple syrup. There are also frites, of course, and croquettes—molten Emmenthaler cheese sticks—plus a gem of a Bolognese. And let’s not forget the beer.

FRENCH CHEZ RENÉE FRENCH BISTROT

Based on American stereotypes of French food—

that it’s elaborate, elitist, and expensive—one might expect Chez Renee to fall on the chichi side. Instead, it’s elegant in an everyday way, operating on the principle that it is better to excel at simplicity than to badly execute something complicated. The formula is not complex: Simple ingredients, generally fresh and from nearby, prepared without much fuss. Asparagus is beautifully roasted and perfectly salted, and the quiche Lorraine (yes, the old standby) has a nice, ﬁrm texture, and a ﬁne balance of bacon, mushrooms, and oignons (to quote the menu, which is a charming hodgepodge of French and English). This is solid, tasty food, both approachable and well executed. It’s well on its way to becoming, as a good bistrot should be, a neighborhood institution. 233 Main St., Milford, (513) 428-0454, chezreneefrenchbistrot.com. Lunch and dinner Tues–Sat. MCC. $$

His “Les Ground Meat” is available in beef, Wagyu beef, bison, lamb, and ﬁsh (a blend of albacore tuna and salmon). Portions are eight ounces, taller than a typical burger, and seared on the kitchen’s iron griddle. It’s easy to turn many of the generously portioned appetizers into dinner. Pair the open-faced beef tongue “French Dip” sandwich with a spinach salad and you’ll have one of the best choices in the house. Or go for mac-and-cheese. The lobster mac always sounds lush, but do consider the humble beef cheek version, enlivened by a touch of truffle oil, instead. 2200 Victory Pkwy., East Walnut Hills, (513) 751-2333, barboeuf.com.

I TA L I A N A TAVOLA

In 2011, Jared Wayne opened A Tavola Pizza with two friends just as OTR was blowing up. A Ferrara pizza oven was ordered from Italy; Wayne, a skilled woodworker, built custom tables; and the menu was fleshed in with trendy crowd-pleasers like charcuterie and craft cocktails. Fast-forward a decade. The OTR outpost is closed but the second location is still going strong in the ’burbs: A Tavola Madeira capitalizes on the menu from the Vine Street location, including the fresh and zesty asparagus, artichoke, and feta pizza on a Neapolitan crust; gooey mozzarella-filled arancini, or risotto fritters; and the unequaled Blue Oven English muffin eggplant sliders. Wash down your small plates with a glass of crisp and grassy Sannio falanghina or an ice-cold Peroni lager. Not ones to rest on their laurels, they also fire up a third Italian import—an Italforni Bull Oven—for their take on Roman-style pies (with a thinner, crispier crust). They’re definitely going to need a bigger parking lot. 7022 Miami Ave., Madeira, (513) 272-0192, atavolapizza.com. Lunch and dinner seven days. MCC. $

As with all of Thunderdome’s restaurants, you get a sense that they want to deliver a meal that satisfies many different kinds of people. The prices are reasonable, with pasta entrées about $15. The dishes are familiar in their flavors, but everything feels balanced and modulated and gradually perfected. There is lovely variety: the limone pasta is zippy with lemon and chili flakes, and just the right mixture of tart and creamy; the deep meaty flavors on the mushroom toast are balanced with a nice acidity; and the heat in dishes like the eggplant involtini is just enough ICON BY JESSICA DUNHAM

Carnaroli rice results in a glossier, starchier dish. A puree of asparagus turns the risotto an eye-popping green, and the poached lobster garnish creates a nice back-and-forth between vegetal and briny ﬂavors.

With such traditional cuisine, you may think there isn’t much left to discover beyond simply executed classics prepared according to time-tested methods. But there are always new discoveries as the ﬂavors mingle from plate to plate: the tabbouleh with the hummus, mixed with a touch of harissa, or the smoky baba ghanoush spooned onto falafel.

MESA LOCA

Sitting on a corner of Hyde Park Square, it’s easy to see that Mesa Loca has an absolute dream of a location. The pandemic forced a few changes to the seafood-centric menu, but those dishes still on the menu indicate what Mesa Loca could be. The tuna ceviche is nicely balanced: tart, with a little spicy creaminess, and a good crispy tostada. The Baja snapper goes well with a bright pile of grated radish and the mango habañero salsa, one of the highlights of the meal. With minced chunks of mango and a hint of fruity habañero heat, it is a prime example of how you can elevate Mexican food and make it worthy of a higher-than-ordinary price. One of Mesa Loca’s appealing qualities is its dramatic ﬂair: The yucca fries come stacked on the plate like a late-stages game of Jenga, and their sour-and-spicy rub is quite delicious and striking against the bright starchy white of the fries. 2645 Erie Ave., Hyde Park, (513) 321-6372, mesalocahydepark.com.

SEAFOOD OAKLEY FISH HOUSE

Chanaka De Lanerolle sold Mt. Adams Fish House back in 2011, and Oakley Fish House is its reincarnation—and reinvention. Most of the menu tends toward fairly conservative takes on classics, like well-seasoned crab cakes and thick, creamy chowder full of seafood. The handful of ethnic experiments on the menu are among its most vibrant offerings, including a Mediterranean fish stew that takes inspiration from the North African coast. Tender, fluffy couscous soaks up a fiery but sweet tomato sauce that showcases chiles and peppercorns, golden raisins, and lovely firm cashews, and the stew itself is packed with mussels, shrimp, and chunks of fish. 3036 Madison Rd., Oakley, (513) 631-3474, oakleyfishhouse.com. Lunch Fri–Sun, dinner Tues–Sun. MCC. $$$

PEARLSTAR

all of the hype around the restaurant’s re-emergence on the scene, it’s probably best to consider it a reimagining rather than a reopening. While long-time favorites show up on the menu, prepared by many of the same kitchen staff members from Mt. Adams, some adaptations have been made to better meet expectations of modern diners.

(Pearl “Stars,” as they’re called on the menu) is equal parts surf and turf, with the Arctic char and Texas redfish living up to the “star” billing. The char, with its topping of lemon caper butter, was creamy enough to eat by the spoonful while the soft, spicy redfish was flecked with a chocolaty chorizo oil that tasted like a master chef’s take on Cincinnati chili. All of this can be washed down with PearlStar’s extensive drink menu, including cleverly named cocktails like Thyme to Fly and Golf Pants.

Over-the-Rhine’s buzzworthy oyster bar marks owner Terry Raley and his Amaranth Hospitality Group’s ﬁrst foray outside of Nashville. The oysters—ﬂown in every 24 to 36 hours—are delivered on a bed of crushed ice with lemon wedges and a vinegary herbed mignonette sauce. Add a few refreshing drops of lemon and mignonette, mix in the additional fresh horseradish, house-made hot sauce, or cocktail sauce, and slurp your way to the sea. The entrées

Classic Thai comfort food on the west side from chef/owner Tussanee Leach, who grew up with galangal on her tongue and sriracha sauce in her veins. Her curries reign: pale yellow sweetened with coconut milk and poured over tender chicken breast and chunks of boiled pineapple; red curry the color of new brick, tasting of earth at first bite, then the sharply verdant Thai basil leaves, followed by a distant heat. Tom Kha Gai soup defines the complex interplay of flavors in Thai food: astringent lemongrass gives way to pepper, then Makrut lime, shot through with the gingery, herbaceous galangal, all yielding to the taunting sweetness of coconut. Even the simple skewers of chicken satay with Thai peanut sauce are rough and honest, dulcified by honey and dirtied up by a smoky grill.

THAI GREEN PAPAYA

Inside this simple dining room, replete with soothing browns and greens and handsome, dark wood furniture, it takes time to sort through the many curries and chef’s specialties, not to mention the wide variety of sushi on the somethingfor-everyone menu. Have the staff—friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable—help you. When the food arrives, you’ll need only a deep inhale to know you made the right choice. The Green Papaya sushi rolls are as delicious as they look, with a manic swirl of spicy mayo and bits of crabstick and crispy tempura batter scattered atop the spicy tuna, mango, cream cheese, and shrimp tempura sushi—all rolled in a vivid green soybean wrap.

CINCY OBSCURA

Raising Blue Hell CHRISTOPHER DANIEL’S Blue Hell Studio doesn’t look like the medieval blacksmithing shops of yore. But at this Roselawn warehouse, you’ll still find anvils, quenching barrels, and all the well-worn tools of the trade that have kept this ancient art alive and well—and stunningly popular. Hundreds of students come through the studio each year to prove it. The longtime sculptor and former Hasbro toymaker fell into blacksmithing somewhat by accident—out of boredom, really—when he was running the metal shop at the Art Academy. “Nobody ever came down to use the metal shop,” Daniel says. “So I’m sitting around. There’s a 50-pound anvil and a couple torches. Let’s try some blacksmithing. And so I taught myself.” Today, he and his team balance a growing list of contracted projects and teaching responsibilities at the studio-slash-blacksmithing school, where just about anyone can enroll in 10-week courses to learn the tricks of the trade. But overzealous Forged in Fire fans, beware. “Most people come in wanting to make knives and swords,” Daniel says. “You can’t just jump into that.” Pointing to a very full wall of sample work, Daniel explains the journey students take from simple taper to intricate scroll, using the very same techniques that have been used for centuries. “I think there’s more of a push, really, for people to want to work with their hands,” he says. “There’s a mystique to what we do.” — L A U R E N F I S H E R
