Declared as the world’s largest packaging show, more than 46,000 people attended with over 1,800 vendor booths to visit.

My Mom always said my postcards may have been pictures of the places I’d been, but my messages were always about what I’d eaten. I love to cook. I love to eat well. And I love to travel and visit with other foodies.

This year I traveled to two capitals of Europa – Prague and Vienna. Not just capitals of their countries, Czech Republic and Austria, respectively, but also two of the top PASTRY capitals of Europe and the world! And CAFÉ (as in coffee) capitals! Pastry and café go hand-in-hand, as in inseparable.

The shop that caught my attention and thrilled my senses most on a recent trip to Toronto was a small café on Queens St. named Nadége. Directly across from Trinity Bellwoods Park the area is a wonderful mix of culture and people watching, the perfect place to relax and grab a treat.

This summer, Cincinnati has added yet another little gem to their list, The City Flea. This past Saturday, I joined a diverse crowd on the corner of Central and Vine hoping to find some interesting furniture for my slightly barren apartment. Although I didn’t find furniture, I found a wide variety of treats. The vendors ranged from homemade granola to consignment shop clothes!

I’m always amazed at the number of Cincinnati and northern Kentuckians that I meet who have never been to Findlay Market. If you’re looking for an inspirational experience to start your weekend, this is the place to go on a Saturday morning.
