With no eggs, no gluten, and low-to-no fat, Madisono’s really takes pride in its unique flavors and digestive friendly gelato and sorbet, so there is something for everyone.

Madisono’s motto, “Be Curious. Eat Freely.” really shows their commitment to providing delicious and healthy sweet treats for everyone. Vegan? No problem. Madisono’s sorbet is both dairy free and vegan, in addition to being gluten, egg, and fat free.

Madisono’s was started by Matt Madison, a gourmet shiitake mushroom – among other specialty produce – farmer in Adam’s County, Ohio. Over the years, as he traveled to farmers markets and events all across Cincinnati, Madison discovered his knack for making wonderful gelato creations. Slowly, Madison’s Gelato became known and talked about, and Madisono’s was born. 

Now available in almost 100 locations across Ohio, Pittsburgh, and Detroit, you can find this Cincinnati sorbet and gelato startup in Kroger, Giant Eagle Market District, Busch’s, as well as plenty of other independent retailers. Grab a pint and finally Eat Free!

Downtown Cincinnati is a beautiful place; from walking on the riverfront parks and crossing the Purple People Bridge over the Ohio River…. to the beautiful architecture by Over-the-Rhine and Findlay Market.

From October 10th until the 13th, downtown Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky will be transformed into a beautiful outdoor art museum.  Spanning more than 30 city blocks, BLINK is one of the nation’s largest light, art, and projection mapping events, and is completely free to the public.

Featuring light-based sculptures and installations, brand-new art murals, and interactive art, BLINK is illuminated by ArtsWave. ArtsWave is a local organization that supports hundreds of art projects and organizations through impact-based grants. 

For four days, from 7 until 11 P.M., downtown Cincinnati will transform into a one-of-a- kind place in the world. As BLINK is the only outdoor art event of its kind, during these four days, Cincinnati will attract people from all over the world that want to come and witness the magic, and enjoy the shared inspiration and awe that BLINK brings. 

BLINK started only two years ago in 2017, when two separate organizations, Brave Berlin and The AGAR presented idea concepts for an outdoor light festival to Tim Maloney of the Haile Foundation. Maloney combined these concepts, and BLINK was born. 

Rich Walburg, spokesperson for BLINK, describes the unique opportunity BLINK brings for the city of Cincinnati, “Cincinnati is a creative, inclusive and innovative future city. BLINK is a monumental event that showcases all that our region has to offer. Because it’s free and open to the public, people from around our region, the nation and the globe will come together in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky to enjoy a shared moment of art and light.”

BLINK is produced by The AGAR, ArtWorks, Brave Berlin, the Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile Foundation, Jr/U.S. Bank Foundation and the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber. For more information, maps, and many other resources, visit BLINK’S website, BlinkCincinnati.com.  

 

Del Gardo’s Cannoli has been in the making for over 30 years for owner Steve Del Gardo. It started while Steve was a Chef’s Apprentice at 18 years old in Columbus, Ohio.

Steve had a dream….and in 2018 it became a reality. He wanted to open an Italian café but be different than anyone else. He explored a coffee bar concept to a full eat in café but his main focus was his special recipes for cannoli. Steve has an art/design background and wanted to use those skills in creating wonderful looking artisan cannoli as well as being very tasty to one’s palette. After 12 months exploring and research on how to get his cannoli to the masses, Steve is living his dream.

Del Gardo’s Cannoli Bar offers Italian Fine Wines and Premium Craft Beers.
