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.

Road Trip: Ohio State Fair offers Educational Experiences along with Food & Fun!

August 4, 2023 By LIbby Ballengee

The Ohio Soy Bean Council offers lots of educational opportunities for kids and adults. Photo by Libby Ballengee. All rights reserved.

When I think of the Ohio State Fair, I envision sweet and savory foods that feel forbidden in other settings (funnel cake and cotton candy – oh my!), amusement park rides that take me back to my childhood, and games where I’m sure I’m going to win my nephew a stuffed animal. When I went to the Ohio State Fair this summer, for the first time in decades, I found a whole lot more to love about this annual event!

First off, they make attending the Ohio State Fair, as easy as possible. When we parked out in a big grassy lot, I knew we were in for a hike to the fairgrounds. By the time we got our sunscreen on and we were ready to make our way, a tractor pulled up along the road, pulling a trolley that we got to ride right to the front gates. Nice!

Once we made our way past the walkway of every fair food you’ve ever dreamed of – including a giant candy tent! – we found ourselves in the “red” buildings on the map. That’s where Ohio’s farmers show off their craft with the rest of the state. Did you know there are 1.3 million beef cattle in Ohio? That soybeans are our biggest cash crop? Or that we are the 2nd largest egg producing state in the nation?

It was so interesting to talk to the farmers who actually produce the food we eat every day. We got to ask them questions about pesticides, GMOs, and growing food organically. What’s the real story behind what it takes to feed a growing population on planet Earth?

Taking my 7 year old nephew to the Ohio State Fair for the first time, I figured he’d like all the typical “fun” activities the best. However what he enjoyed was learning. He got to milk a cow for the first time. He climbed onto tractors for himself and not just play with a toy version. He was shown how the oil of a soybean could propel a boat – neat! We thankfully, got to cool off in the Livestock barn and watch an IMAX style film about Ohio’s farmers. We even ate a “cotton candy” deviled egg from the Taste of Ohio Cafe!

The Ohio State Fair continues through Sunday August 6th. If you get the opportunity to visit, make sure that before you spend all your time in Kiddieland, you take some time to visit with the farmer’s in the Voinovich Livestock and Trade Center Lawn building. It might just be the favorite part of your day too!

Dayton Jam Band fans gather at The Werk Out!

July 31, 2018 By LIbby Ballengee

If you are one of the many avid jam band fans in the Dayton area, no doubt you have heard of The Werk Out. In it’s 9th year, this major music and arts festival is one of the “don’t miss” events of the summer. It takes place on the historic grounds at Legend Valley in Thornville, Ohio, just east of Columbus, where the Grateful Dead, among others, took the stage many times. The venue’s storied past is why Dayton’s homegrown heroes, The Werks, chose to host their yearly musical extravaganza there.

The natural valley serves as an ideal spot for viewing multiple stages and comfortably camping all weekend long. You pull in right off of I-70, get parked, put your tent set up, then wander down the tree lined path, which is peppered with hammocks, vendors, food on your way to the massive stage set up. There you’ll get to see some of the most exciting national jam and rock bands touring today, including: Umphrey’s McGee (2 sets), Joe Russo’s Almost Dead (2 sets), Lettuce, Papadosio, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong (2 nights), Twiddle, Turkuaz, Spafford, The Marcus King Band, KNOWER (full band), Zach Deputy, Steady Flow, ekoostik hookah, TWERKAPOD: A Tribute to the 90s,, Rumpke Mountain Boys, Octave Cat, Ghost Light featuring Holly Bowling, Tom Hamilton, Steve Lyons, Raina Mullen, Scotty Zwang Music, Mungion, Mom and Dad (featuring Chuck Jones & Neal Evans of Dopapod), Mike Perkins, Electric Orange Peel, and Conscious Pilot. 

When I think of seeing all that great music individually, it would be so expensive. That’s what makes this festival a real value for music fans like me! Plus, it’s not just music that you can take part in, as there are tons of cool classes and “Werkshops” happening as well. From yoga and classes on tarot reading, to ecological leadership classes (yeah!) and kids activities, there is something for everyone. Or just kick it at your camp site with all the new friends you are bound to make!

How to Go?

Legend Valley Music Center and Campground: 7585 Kindle Rd, Thornville, OH 43076

Wednesday, August 1, 2018 at 6:00 PM –Sunday, August 5, 2018 at 12:00 PM (EDT)

The Werk Out is Dayton Band’s Biggest Event Ever

August 2, 2016 By LIbby Ballengee

Phase2 Werk Out 2016It’s incredibly exciting when one of our own home grown Dayton bands makes it big. Many Daytonians are not aware of the incredible national following The Werks have created. After ten years of touring, most recently from an adventurous Alaskan tour, they are back to their native Ohio to throw their biggest party yet, the 7th annual Werk Out Music and Arts Festival.

The festival started closer to Dayton, but as it has skyrocketed in popularity, it found it’s home at the Grateful Dead’s old stomping grounds, Legend Valley Concert Venue in Thornville, Ohio (formerly known as Buckeye Lake Music Center). This year’s festival is the biggest and boldest yet. Music fans were thrilled to see the amazing line-up of both national and regional acts, which include some of the top names in the jam and electronica scene, including STS9, Lettuce, and Greensky Bluegrass.

This year’s festival includes special collaboration sets that are certain to be unforgettable:a daytime memorial set dedicated to the memory of beloved former Werks member Norman Dimitrouleas; Twerkapod, which is a late night 90’s music tribute set with members of Twiddle, The Werks, and Dopapod; Daft Funk, a tribute to Daft Punk by Earphunk; and an appearance by Everyone Orchestra with special guest Todd Stoops.

This is one of the premiere music festivals in Ohio, and Dayton Ohio couldn’t be prouder of our home town boys making it big! Congratulations to the Werks family, and for fans, don’t miss this highly anticipated summer festival!

How to Go?

General admission festival passes are available now for $139.99, Additional ticketing options are also available. The Werk Out Festival tickets are available now at http://www.thewerkoutfestival.com/site/get-tickets.

Greek Food Truck to Hit Dayton Streets

March 8, 2016 By The Food Adventures Crew Leave a Comment

“The Greek Street Food Truck” is about to explode onto the streets of the Miami Valley

Food Adventures has super secret info that we have been waiting months to release right here on Dayton Most Metro.  It concerns Dayton’s newest food truck, that will soon make a splash in the Miami Valley.

The scoop is so fresh that their website isn’t up yet, but you can find them on Facebook —>here.

THE GREEK STREET FOOD TRUCK is putting the final touches on its menu and final tweaks on operations, but looks ready to roll.

We are excited because this will be the first strictly “Greek Based truck” that we know of and brings further diversity to an already incredible selection of local food vehicles.

So whats the scoop on the new kid in town?  Who is behind the Greek Street Food Truck?

 

HERE’S THE SKINNY ON THE OWNER:

— CHEF CHRIS SPIRTOS, owner and operator of Greek Street Food Truck has an extensive cooking background.

Traditional Beef/Lamb Gyro from “Greek Street Food Truck”

— Chris went to Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Chicago to hone his craft.  The Centerville native, also  worked at L’Auberge and as a sous chef at Sung’s Korean Bistro in Cincinnati.

— Chris also studied under the Chef for Oprah Winfrey, Chef Art Smith, while living in Chicago.  He was so well thought of, that Chris was flown to Oprah’s California home to help fix a dinner she hosted for the first graduating class of her school in Africa.

— More recently, Chris has worked on the incredible food truck, Zombie Dogz

— Born into a Greek family (his grandparents were from Greece), Chris’ recipe for Baklava is his mom’s, and it is a traditional favorite.

 

What type of eats can you expect on the truck?  Food Adventures  has all the scoop right here.

 

 

Stacked Chicken on the Spindle cooker

Other GREEK STREET FOOD TRUCK info:

HERE’S THE SKINNY ON WHAT TO EXPECT:

— The meats are individually layered on a spindle and cooked.  There are no compressed or processed meats.  Just a Beef/Lamb mixture spindle, and a Chicken spindle.  Each gyro is sliced to order.

— The Greek Street Food Truck will have a core menu of:
   Gyros
   Greek Fries  or Regular Fries
   Spanakopita (a Greek spinach Pie)
   An assortment of dips, possibly including hummus
   Homemade Baklava

— The menu will feature daily, revolving specials as well

 

Now, without further delay, let’s give you our menu items from Greek Street Food Truck that are absolutely, “Must Eats”….

 

MUST EATS:

— CHICKEN GYRO, STREET STYLE: Stacked rotisserie chicken breasts slices, piled into a pita and topped with “street style toppings.”  Street style means:  tomato jam, pickled red onions, crumbled feta, fresh herbs, fries, and tzatziki sauce.  Quite honestly, one of the most flavorful and unique gyros we have had.  If you try one thing, this is item to grab.

— BEEF GYRO, TRADITIONAL STYLE:  Shaved slices of stacked lamb and beef rotisserie cooked meat.  This is a throwback to the gyros of the old country with “traditional toppings.”  Traditional toppings are: tomato, tzatziki sauce, onions, smoked paprika and french fries.  This gyro is authentic.  It is like a steak sandwich, no processed meat here.  Damn good food on the “go.”

 

Owner Chris Spirtos of “Greek Street Food Truck”

We are excited for the first Greek themed entry into Dayton’s food truck scene.  The Food Adventure crew of The Big Ragu, Chef House, and Hungry Jax, wish Chris good luck with his “Big Fat Greek Food Truck.”   We think Greek Street will be a huge hit… here’s to you .. OPA !

 

Below are more practically edible photos of the luscious food at Greek Street Food Truck.

Dayton Talent in Columbus: Short North Stage’s “Cabaret”

September 17, 2012 By Dayton Most Metro Leave a Comment


The season opener at Short North Stage will see the main stage of the Garden Theater in Columbus transformed into the infamous 1930s Kit Kat Klub in Berlin, and will feature one of the great Broadway scores by John Kander and Fred Ebb as Short North Stage presents the erotic updated 1998 revival version of Cabaret, which starred Alan Cumming and Natasha Richardson and ran for six years on Broadway.

This racier and more decadent version of the well-known musical presents an accurate portrayal of pre-WWII Berlin which was known as a “sin city”.  The Twenties saw a dramatic loosening of social inhibitions, and attitudes toward diverse sexual behavior became much more tolerated.  Hundreds of nightclubs flourished, catering to a wide variety of tastes. Hyperinflation led people to spend on intoxicating pleasures of the moment rather than save money that would be worth much less in week, if not a day.

In an interesting local Columbus connection to the Berlin scene, Actress Louise Brooks, whose portrait was etched onto a back wall of the Garden Theater stage in 1924, was one of the many foreigners who made their way to Berlin, where she became an international star after she appeared in the 1929 movie Pandora’s Box. In that film she epitomized a Berlin siren—a seductress named Lulu, whose uninhibited sexuality brought ruin to her and others she touched.

JJ Parkey as The Emcee (photo credit: Gary White)

The Joel Gray interpretation of the Emcee was shattered by Alan Cumming’s eroticized version in the 1998 Broadway revival.    Although the 1972 film version of the musical, starring Liza Minelli, made Sally Bowles the central character, the Emcee is the pivotal force in the stage production.

Dayton native JJ Parkey plays the EMCEE in this production of Cabaret.  He earned his degree in musical theater at Wright State University and currently resides in New York.  JJ says he hopes to “honor both of the iconic performances of Joel Grey and Alan Cumming while incorporating my own take on the character.   The Emcee is not a stagnant character that needs to be presented in one way, but rather an ever-changing creature that adapts to the story with each new production and each new director.”

Cate Owens as Rosie, Kaitlin Descutner as Sally Bowles, and Adrianne K as Texas (photo credit: Gary White)

Directing the production is New York based Dayton native, Scott Hunt.  He notes, “The challenge inherent in presenting Cabaret is to immerse the audience in the world of the Kit Kat Klub; to make them feel as if they are participants in the action of the play. Luckily, The Garden Theatre does much of the work for us.  How blessed to present a piece about the most important moment of the 20th Century in a building with so much history of its own.”  One way the company is immersing the audience in the action is by offering a chance to be part of the production “up close and personal” with VIP Ticket holders sitting at tables on the stage of The Garden Theater.

As an actor, Scott Hunt has appeared on Broadway and in the National Touring Productions of Les Miserables  (Marius), and Rent (Mark Cohen), as well as numerous regional theaters.  As a director, Scott recently staged Rent for Wright State University in Dayton. Like JJ, he is a Dayton native who currently resides in New York City. Scott is a resident artist with The Human Race Theatre Company in Dayton.

Rounding out the Dayton representation in Short North Stage’s Cabaret is Chris Shea.  Chris graduated from Pacific Conservatory of the Performing Arts and formed Free Shakespeare! – a professional, not-for-profit theatre company in Dayton devoted to presenting complimentary performances of the works of William Shakespeare.

Tickets

Tickets are $30 or $40 for VIP Tickets.  VIP Tickets are sold out for opening night, September 21st.   All performances on the Main Stage at The Garden Theater, located at 1187 N High Street, Columbus, Ohio.   Visit www.shortnorthstage.org for tickets and information, or call 614-725-4042.  A preview performance will be held at 8:00 pm on Thursday September 20, and then runs Friday and Saturday nights at 8:00 pm and Sundays at 3:00 pm through October 5.
