What’s actually happening.
Cincinnati's OTR revival is complete, now the pop-up culture in its wake is the interesting story. Findlay Market, America's oldest continuously operating public market, anchors a food community that reaches across the city's neighborhoods.
Findlay Market's pop-up circuit
America's oldest continuously operating public market is also Cincinnati's food incubator. Chefs who test concepts here on weekends build loyal audiences before they ever sign a lease.
OTR's second act
Over-the-Rhine's historic Italianate architecture has become one of America's great urban food corridors. The pop-ups and supper clubs using its renovated spaces are the neighborhood's most interesting story since the revival itself.
The craft beverage table
Cincinnati's craft distillery and brewery scene has matured into a serious pairing dinner circuit. Bourbon, rye, and local beer pairings with locally-sourced small plates happen throughout OTR every weekend.

Cincinnati's table runs deeper than the chili
OTR's food revival has produced a genuine pop-up culture beyond the neighborhood's headline tables. Tenseats surfaces the Findlay Market dinners and supper clubs the city's food community keeps to themselves.

Creators
OTR's second act is worth documenting
Cincinnati chili is the legend; the Findlay Market pop-up circuit and OTR supper clubs are the story still waiting to be told. Creators who track what's happening in the historic Italianate blocks are capturing an urban food revival mid-stride.
Venue Hosts
OTR's architecture is the best dining room
Over-the-Rhine's renovated buildings, 19th-century Italianate facades, brick floors, high ceilings, create intimate dinner settings only a century-old building can offer. Connect your space with the pop-up chefs who know what to do with a room like this.
