Kitty Brew Cat Café -- Mason, OH

By -

Dave's favorite thing to do when we visit a new city is to find out if they have a cat cafe, as a result we've visited them in Columbus, Pittsburgh, and Amsterdam. While we're looking forward to one opening in the Cleveland area, on our recent trip to Cincinnati, Dave wanted to find time to visit Kitty Brew Cat Café. If you've never been to a cat cafe, it's a great way to spend some time. There is always a division between the food/drinks and the cats, in this case, it was a viewing window from the cafe into the cat lounge. Kitty Brew Cat Café had a large cafe area with plenty of options, although I wanted to get one of the specialty drinks, Dave wanted to keep is simple so we ordered an iced macchiato and a cookie. After we ordered we went next door to the lounge and our order was delivered to us when it was ready.

As international cat cafe visitors we were really happy with the hour we spent at Kitty Brew Cat Café, the staff was knowledgeable, the coffee was good, and the cats were really excited to have visitors. There were a handful of other people in the lounge at the same time as us, but it was a spacious area and there were plenty of cats that wanted attention. The cafe area was also filling up when our hour in the cat lounge was over.






The rules are always the same, essentially, play nice with the cats and don't let them eat your coffee/food. Every other cat cafe we've been to had mainly older cats, we were surprised how many kittens were at Kitty Brew Cat Café. And since we tend to adopt "older" cats it was really fun to play with the kittens. Almost all of the cats in Kitty Brew Cat Café are available for adoption unless they are a foster or otherwise spoken for (and the employees will be happy to point out which ones are available).

  


   





  

    



Kitty Brew Cat Café has helped 881 cats find their forever homes to date. 

  



This little one was very interested in our cookie/coffee and he thought we made for a great napping spot.





    


He also called his coffee loving friend over. 





  





After an hour we said our good-byes to many tired out kittens.

Today's Bride Wedding Show -- Cleveland, OH

By -

Right after engagement season (the period from Thanksgiving to New Year's) it's bridal show season. During the last nine months of my engagement I have not attended a single bridal show. Now suggestions for bridal show events are showing up all over my Facebook page. As a 2017 bride with most of her vendors already chosen, I wasn't inclined to check out any bridal shows during the next few months, but I was offered the opportunity to be the featured bride at my photographer's booth at the Today's Bride Bridal Show in Cleveland, which gave me the opportunity to interact with other Northeast Ohio couples, as well as explore the displays at the IX Center. This is a two day event, I was present just for the second day of the bridal show. The super cute stemless wine glass above was available for purchase with champagne, wine, or a cocktail. As you already know I'm obsessed with all things Ohio, so I needed one of the glasses. Once I was done at my photograph

Velvet Tango Room -- Cleveland, OH

V elvet Tango Room is in a nondescript hole-in-the wall located on the fringes of the Ohio City and Tremont neighborhoods of Cleveland. From the outside the facade of the Velvet Tango Room blends right into the dilapidated buildings that surround the venue. On Friday night, the street was quiet, the glow of downtown was behind us, but Columbus street was dark. Had we not been to the Velvet Tango Room before, the glow of the neon sign would have been the only thing to lead us to our destination. The Velvet Tango Room is not like other bars, there are numerous articles touting how exclusive and elusive entrance to the Velvet Tango Room can be. You see, there is no need to make reservations to sit in the front room; although the venue is a secret in and of itself, the secret backroom, which is accessible by key card entrance only, requires reservations in advance...sometimes weeks in advance. Some people have written that the backroom is for the socially elite -- despite the fact th

Afternoon Tea at Coquette Patisserie -- Cleveland, OH

Happy Mardi Gras! I wanted to get this post in before the end of February and it's fitting, because Coquette Patisserie has King Cake today.  On February 19th Dave and I attended Afternoon Tea at Coquette Patisserie -- this event required registration in advance and it sold out so if you see an Afternoon Tea pop up on Coquette Patisserie's Facebook page make sure to register yourself! Afternoon Tea is an event hosted semi-frequently at Coquette Patisserie -- a quick glance at their past Facebook events showed a December, January, and February tea. However, this is not a monthly event (yet), so if you'd like to attend one keep an eye out and then make sure to book a table. Afternoon Tea for February consisted of a prix fixe menu which included "a tea sandwich, quiche, French macaron, opera cake, cheesecake and fresh baked brioche with jam & compound butter, and a pot of tea or a french press of coffee." When we arrived we discovered tha
