AlphaTrips. D is for Dublin! BridgePark is a Great Big Getaway!

August 7, 2023 By Joshua Stucky

Bridge Park is Dublin’s newest development that combines upscale residential living with unique dining, shopping and attractions in Downtown Dublin. Now, before you poo-poo the whole, ‘here we go again, a manmade neighborhood…’ give it a once over. Unlike its unrelated cousins (the Greene and Easton), Bridge Park has found a way to bring the new into the old. Utilizing an actual Bridge, the entertainment district seamlessly blends into the historic side of the city. (Wouldn’t that have been novel in Dayton!!) The expansive district, designed by Crawford-Hoying, cost over $20,000,000 and is literally chock full of favorites and upstarts alike.

Among the places to visit for food in Bridge Park are Columbus’s beloved ‘North Market-Dublin,’Frank and Carl’s’ and ‘Weenie Wonder.’ There is a little bit of something for everyone, although shopping is not the forte here as it is in many ‘manmade’ neighborhoods. Kids and grown-ups alike will love ‘PINS Mechanical‘, for bowling, games and food, too! There is a ‘16-Bit’ video lounge on-site, and while the kids are playing, moms can go enjoy various spas in the area.

One of the best surprises came from AC Marriott, yes the same designers who are bringing ‘The Foundry‘ rooftop to Dayton. In the Dublin hotel, VASO, a rooftop experience awaits, the view is stunning and the bar is large and forever full! Parking at Bridge Park is ample, which again, makes for a more stress-less experience. Dinner was ‘Kitchen Social’ for our little group…and it was top-notch! (Heads-Up…it’s loud for those who think about such things.)

There are a plethora of events in the area throughout the year. Dublin’s Irish Festival is massive and well-known!! You can get all of that information by going to their website at visitdublinohio.com

Aside from the brick and mortar, you can walk along the river and enjoy the views from both sides…watching bikers in the historic area, seeing families hand-in-hand along the walkway and the sunset (at least when we were there) can be idyllic from the roof. No doubt, Dayton has its advantages….most importantly, we don’t have to endure the tax base that Dublin does….but as long as they are paying, go and enjoy this upscale, inviting haven!

Bridge Park is located at 6634 Riverside Dr. Dublin, OH 43017.

AlphaTrips: CHICago is CHIC again!

June 28, 2023 By Joshua Stucky

   It’s time to travel again….and even though I use AlphaTrips to highlight cities and towns close to our beloved Dayton, it’s time to TRAVEL beyond. 4 and a half hours from Dayton’s city center is one of America’s great big cities…CHICAGO! Flanked by the beauty of Lake Michigan, highlighted by the amazing skyscrapers, filled with world-class hotels and dotted with more parks than you can shake a stick at…Chicago is vibrant again. Gone are the annoying masks, plastic dividers, and spacing that kept us all at bay. Back is an oasis for shoppers, a playground for water lovers, and a fulfillment for music and art aficianados.

“The trick is to take what the media says with a grain of salt.” Says Mischa K, a local food vendor and lifelong dweller. “We are facing what all big cities are facing. This need to make everyone feel that Netflix is better than the Lincoln Park Zoo. I mean, come on!” Mischa is not alone. While visiting the Windy City, I chatted it up with others…sentiments the same! “Magnificent Mile has seen some closures, but all-in-all, the street is packed with visitors, and you can’t find a restaurant with availability.” Says Fred H. “I dunno, I keep hearing the same stories about Miami, NYC and LA….so we are in good company.” laughs Dan D. “You adjust. You find a way to make the new way of doing things a better way of doing things. We are still Midwest…people are still as friendly as it gets here!”

For me and the gang I traveled with, we found a ton to do! Plopping ourselves at the Viceroy on State Street…we were near the beating heart of the town. A short walk to Michigan Ave. and you could feel it…life is BACK! On the streets families with popcorn, lovers holding hands and obnoxious drivers laying on their horns in hopes they get much needed attention! Shopping felt good…no clicking Amazon for a new shirt, but rather, trying it on…and having the clerk find a better size…HEAVEN! (By the way, Ralph Lauren’s POLO on Michigan is a must now….WOW…packed and pretty!!) Starbucks three level signature store is bit much, but its worth a drop in. To be real, I was more interested in finding the old hotels with those dimly lit bars, and amazing Old-Fashioneds…and they didn’t disappoint! (Champagne stops are a good idea as well.)

The Aquarium, the zoo, the beach, the pier…all in full-swing and ready to take on your family with new sites to see as well. And, honestly, is there any city near us with a more diverse collection of architecture!! STUNNING STUFF!  One place I always enjoy is Andersonville. Filled with shops from the sublime to the silly, the area boasts a lot of great variety. Take a minute to grab a drink at Lady Gregory’s, Farragut’s or Hopleaf Brewery! Feeling adventurous? Sneak into Simon’s (Oldie but goodie)!

Dining is also back in Chicago. We ate dinner at Somerset, a patio restaurant, with great people-watching in the Gold Coast. After dinner, take the elevator to the 18th floor to Devereaux…this pool-side party place is inviting and sophisticated. Of course, I could list dozens of places to find food, and everyone would have an opinion how right or wrong I was…with that, I will say, there is something for everyone in Chi-Town! (We loved grabbing a coffee at Whispers and sitting in the triangular garden among the college kids and locals.)

It’s time peeps! Grab your pet (they were everywhere)…pack your car (or just buy everything there)…and put on your walking shoes (we averaged 15,000 steps a day)….and head NorthWest(ish) to one of America’s Best….the city of BIG SHOULDERS….CHICAGO!

AlphaTrips X & N….A TwoSome of Short-Excursions….

June 29, 2018 By Joshua Stucky

After the popularity of Alpha-Trips, our quick trips in and around the area, I thought it was time to up the ante and give you a whiz-bang twosome.

Here are some ideas for the following areas, that you can do in a day:

Letter X: Xenia

For anyone that has lived in the Dayton area long-term, you may be thinking, there are things to do and see in Xenia? Seriously? And the surprising answer is yes. Known around the US as the city that begins with an ‘X’, is truly marks the spot for some unknown excitement and fun food.  Xenia has long been marked as the home of the tornado, a twister they can’t seem to shake. But there is much more to this little burg that awaits you!

Head over for the history, and there is plenty of it. Check out the Greene County Historical Society, which is basically comprised of three buildings.You will find an old cabin there, the Galloway, which was relocated to the city itself and answers many of the questions about the great chief Tecumseh and his friendship with the family.I have long been obsessed with Tecumseh and his desire to save his Native Families in the area. The guides in the cabin have a multitude of answers to your questions. Many artifacts and historical items await you at the Galloway.

Next, you will find the Victorian Town House, which is chock full of antiques and memorabilia from the best of days in Xenia. Preserved beautifully and presented well, its a fun trip down memory lane. Lastly, a brick building housing more Greene County historic items, as well as a slew of pictures of the infamous tornado completes the history lesson perfectly.

After getting your lesson, grab a bike, as Xenia’s bikeways (Greene Way Bike Trails)are considered by many the ‘best in Ohio.’ You can ride this mostly flat, gorgeous stretch for miles. Recommended is the trip from Spring Valley to Yellow Springs. Xenia’s stretch, is NOT to be missed as the trail follows tree covered spaces and a soft rolling stream (the Little Miami) that eventually forms Clifton Gorge and John Bryan.

So, now you are hungry….and I have to say it, go to Nick’s.

If you have read my articles previously, you know I aim for the fancy, but Nicks’s does the bar food thing perfectly. Grab a Menage’a’Trois (sandwich that is) or the Sexy Club (again a sandwich). Both are sure to please. Add in some wings (chick’s strippers) and fries….and since you’ve been biking, grab aan ice cold Great Lakes draft. It’s fun and it’s definitely satisfying. Overall: ‘X’tremely interesting history and great recreation in Xenia!

Letter N: New Carlisle

 

How many times have you seen the sign for New Carlisle on 70 and thought ‘wonder what’s up there?’ A lot actually! Head into town early and stop at the ‘World-Famous’ Mel-o-Dee restaurant. The Mel-O-Dee has been revived since its close encounter with a funnel cloud recently, but from the ashes, the same delicious food we all know and love. For breakfast, you will hear people oinking about the Mel-O-Dee Chops and Eggs, a center cut chop with two eggs. I have long though they have great coffee, and still am trying to figure out what brand it is.

They do lunch and dinner well too!
Off you go to find some bourbon. BOURBON? Yep, that’s right. New Carlisle is home to the Indian Creek Distillery.

The tiny family-owned business is perfect for touring, and taking in the beautiful setting. It’s literally like a postcard, it is so picturesque. There is a great history of the land, how the distillery got started and it’s ‘best kept secret’ status revealed. Great visit for all…check it out!

 

Stop in Penny Lane for a quick coffee. It’s a cute. quaint, quintessential coffee and tea shop.  They make a great latte, and the service is on-point!

Then what, you ask?

New Carlisle is home to MVG, Meadow View Growers, many put it at the top of the ‘Greenhouse’ lists in the area. Check out the big chair for photos, and make sure you say hi to the goats. MVG is more than just plants, its a destination at this point. For serious gardeners, you will find an extensive number of exotics…I bought 3 of the Flamingo plants!!


A little more food or beer maybe? Ok….571 Grill House is your spot! They have 17 beers on draft, or did at this writing, and some really yummy food. One thing that will floor you is the great atmosphere here. You certainly see why it’s a treasure for New Carlisle. We had a relaxing visit, sharing stories, beers and great wings. The service was sweet, and informative about the draft choices, and menu options. Overall: New Carlisle mixes it up for newbies to their town…it’s nice, new and nostalgic.

Next time, we visit H: Hocking Hills and Y: Yellow Springs.

Keep traveling folks…it’s fun around here!

AlphaTrips! This time – URBANA!

April 19, 2018 By Joshua Stucky

I have always liked close, fun road trips. This season, I am introducing AlphaTrips! I plan on visiting a city or town around Dayton from letters A to Z! Each locale will have some great stuff to see, eat and do. Just to take care of one of harder letters in the alphabet, I thought, I’m checking off the ‘U’ and hitting URBANA! Where, you ask? URBANA, that elusive town right up Route 68 North.

U is for Urbana, a fun place to discover!

The Man on the Monument Greets visitors!

The drive is a quick and easy, about 45 minutes, east on 70 and North on 68. As you make your way into town, you will immediately be taken by their fabulous center square, surrounded by tiny shoppes, markets and restaurants. You will see ‘The Man on the Monment’ which is a full-length figure of a dismounted Union cavalry officer with his head bowed in grief for his fallen comrades.

Grab a quick coffee at Depot Coffee. Coffee is great and the space is art-filled and funky.

Head to the Champaign Aviation Museum. I know many Daytonians love all things flight, and here, in this modest museum which houses some great WW2 examples. Some of the planes are in process of being restored and there are knowledgeable folks there who can tell you all you need to know.

Great examples from WW2 at the Aviation Museum.

From there, grab a quick mid-morning pastry at Teabaggers! They’re open Mon – Thurs 8am – 3pm and Sat 9:05am – 2pm .

Now, weather permitting, head to the bizarre ‘Cedar Bog!’

Mysterious, beautiful and whimsical..the Bog is one of a kind!

**Note, they are doing some work on walkways, check website to see what parts are up and running. Ohio’s first Nature Preserve, Cedar Bog packs a fun punch with it’s mile long boardwalk that winds through rare flowers and animal habitats. It is believed that Mastodons fed here….no really! And persistent rumors of a Big-Foot like creature make Bog Stories fun for kids.

 

Paridiso doesn’t disappoint!

Lunchtime! And back downtown you go to Cafe Paradiso. View the monument on the square as you enjoy some Tuscan inspired foods. Outdoor dining is an option in this ‘best kept secret’ featuring homemade sauces and artisan desserts. Impressive and exciting, it’s fun to find good Italian food in West Central Ohio.

 

Last minute shopping is good idea in Urbana. Kaleidoscope, Fruit Salad and Boston have the antiques, Yutzy’s has all the cheeses you can imagine and

Downtown Divas has the women’s clothes.

Lastly, after a day of doing Urbana, check out a little fun food from Fusion 40.83.

The name comes from the map coordinates of the restaurant. Known for their trout, Fusion 40.83 has a good bunch of beers as well.

Start the car. It’s the first of the alpha-trips…and U are on your way! U should get to Urbana. U will enjoy it!
