Covington, KY Part 3 with Molly Wellman

📜HISTORY & HIDDEN GEMS TOUR💎 featuring Molly Wellmann

Brought to you by Richter & Phillips Jewelers and The BMW Store Cincinnati

Bill and Morgan Witlow are two of my favorite people in the Service Industry. I met Bill years ago when I was opening  “Old Kentucky Bourbon Bar” and Bill was helping to open Wiseguy’s on Mainstrasse. Since then Bill has gone on to build some of my favorite establishments in Covington. 

Henry Wenzel was a prominent and well-respected business man in Covington, Ky during the mid 1800’s. He manufactured and bottled mineral water. His Business was called “The Covington Bottling Works” and was located in his building called “Wenzel Hall” located down Tobacco Alley right off Madison Ave. Besides his mineral water, he also contracted bottled soft drinks, lager beer, and wine. Henry was German born. He was married to Bertha (Wagner) Wenzel. Together they had five children, Wilhelmina (Minnie) Hugo, Bertha, Julia and Carl. Wilhelmina was a music teacher and Bertha was a sales girl at Coppins (now Hotel Covington) They lived on 4th Street between Russel and Washington.

Henry Wenzel died on April 10,1876. He was standing on the corner of 4th and Scott streets in front of Hermance’s Drug store at about 8pm when he suffered a stroke and collapsed. Bystanders carried him in to the drug store and summoned the doctor. However, he died before the Doctor arrived.

After Henry Wenzel died, the building was sold and used as a pickle factory. On the 3rd floor of Wenzel Hall were the meeting rooms for “the Colored international order and Odd Fellows”. In the early 1900’s, the first floor of the building was a steam dye company.

Today, Wenzel Hall has been transformed in to a hotel called “The Pickle Factory” and also to “Wenzel Whiskey”. Wenzel Whiskey is one of my favorite places in Cincinnati. It is a Whisky Blending experience and a must if you love whiskey. Bill and Griffin are the masterminds in guiding you through the process of blending your own personal bottle of whiskey. We visit another of Bill and Morgan Witlow’s restaurants and their newest one called “Opal” that opened the beginning of October. Opal is on the rooftop of the six story Republic Bank Building at Sixth and Madison . There is an indoor dinning room with windows all around and an outdoor lounge with panoramic views. It is so beautiful and the food and cocktails are spectacular! The Republic Bank Building that Opal tops was built in 1904. It was designed by Henry Hake. It was one of Covington’s tallest buildings at the time. The building was built for the Farmers and Traders Bank, and then was the First National Bank once they merged with Farmers and Traders Bank.

After Opal we make our way down Madison to 7th street to visit Rich’s Proper Food and Drink, another amazing establishment of Bill and Morgan Witlow. Rich’s has one of the best whiskey and bourbon selections in the area- and the food is a fusion of American pub meets Southern Cajun, it’s so good! You can’t miss Rich’s because of the huge neon sign that can be seen blocks away, Rich’s was once a jewelry store owned by master jeweler H. Rich Shullman. He opened his store on November 17, 1944. Rich’s was one of our 100 jewelry stores in the metro area that carried Cincinnati-based Gruen Watches. Greun sponsored the making of Rich’s Ionic Neon Sign. Rich’s slogan Was “Honest dealing with keeping the faith of the public.”

Make a point to visit all of these exciting places that makes Covington so vibrant ! 

Cheers,
Molly Wellman

Everything Kid-Friendly Cincy: Color Me Mine Edition

Color Me Mine is a paint-your-own-pottery franchise that makes the unique and creative experience of pottery painting accessible for people of all ages. It is a great way to explore your creativity while enjoying a therapeutic and calming experience by yourself or with others. It is ideal for all ages and skill levels to create a one-of-a-kind piece.

The local Color Me Mine franchise in Crestview Town Center is woman-owned and operated and hosts all kinds of events, including private parties, girls night out events, and kid-friendly fun. Every third Thursday is Ladies Night, where ladies of all ages get 20% off.

My favorite thing, though? Walk-ins are welcome! All ceramic pieces—from mugs and dishware to seasonal items and back—are individually priced and can be personalized by painting your own designs and styles, thanks to a wide selection of colors, brush sizes, and so much more. This is such a great idea for a thoughtful, personal gift for a loved one.

“Pottery is fun to paint. Painting is fun.” –Mara, age 4.5

How it works: you can walk right in, choose your unpainted ceramic bowl or figurine, and use any variety of brushes, stencils, and paints to customize your piece. A Color Me Mine worker is there to help and answer questions along the way. Once we completed our pieces—pumpkin and Christmas tree for me; rainbow vase and pumpkin for my 4.5-year-old daughter—we left them with Color Me Mine to fire in the kilns they have onsite. It took a week for them to be completed, when they called to let us know we were able to pick them up.

I highly recommend this fun activity with a child or a significant other or friends or as a birthday party. I loved being able to walk right in with my daughter, who loves art, and who was able to create artwork just as I was able to—someone graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and has taken their fair share of art classes.

Covington, KY Part 2 with Molly Wellmann

📜HISTORY & HIDDEN GEMS TOUR💎 featuring Molly Wellmann

Brought to you by Richter & Phillips Jewelers and The BMW Store Cincinnati

For Part 2 of our Hidden Gems & History Tour in Covington, KY, we visit the River Front and Main Strasse Village. Our day begins at the Gruff which is this amazing cafe and bottle shop. They feature an awesome bar, brick oven pizzas, deli sandwiches and wonderful salads. Their bottle shop carries local beer, wine and liquor. The name “the Gruff” comes from the fairytale “the Three Billy Goats Gruff” and lines of the tale are painted on the walls inside. This is such a perfect spot to grab lunch or sit outside with a glass of wine!

We next make our way just a block south of the Gruff along the river to the Covington River Walk. We walked under the stunning Robling Bridge to Covington’s flood wall murals. Artist Robert Dafford painted 18 Murals on the Flood Wall depicting Covington and Northern Kentucky History. From prehistoric times when the buffalo crossed the Ohio river to get to the salt licks in Kentucky, to the early pioneers, the ferry, Civil War, & the building of the Roebling Bridge. You can also find famous artists, Covington’s German Heritage, horse racing, Covington’s baseball team, and many others along the River Walk. My favorite mural is the crossing of the Garner family.

After the murals we drove over to Main Strasse Village. The Village is centered on the corner of 6th and Main streets in Covington and encompasses 5 city Blocks. The Village is made up of restaurants, bars, and specialty shops. Most of the buildings in Main Strasse date back to the 1840 and 1860’s, you might be surprised to learn Main Strasse Village was developed into a 19th Century Village the 1970’s.

Work started on the Village in 1977. In 1979, they built the Carillon (the big German clock Tower) in Goebel Park. This 100-foot tower is a recreation of a European Style Glockenspiel Clock Tower. Funded by the state of Kentucky, it was built as the anchor attraction for our German storybook inspired neighborhood redevelopment project named…Main Strasse Village.

The Goose Girl Fountain at the intersection of Main and 6th was built in 1980. The fountain was designed by Greek Sculptor Eleftherios Karkadoulias. The fountain is based on the Grimms Brothers Fairytale “Goose Girl”.

Main Strasse is definitely a place you should check out in the near future. There is always something fun going on with the great dining, bars, shops & more. They also host lots of festivals and events during the year. It really is a wonderful place.

Everything Oktoberfest in Zinzinnati

Cincinnati’s German roots run deep. While only 5% of the population had ties to Deutschland in 1830, between 1840 and 1850, the number of German-born immigrants reached over 50%.

Considering the influence German immigrants have had in Cincinnati—from German-language newspapers, local politicians, Over-the-Rhine architecture, and local biergartens—and the civic pride our residents feel about their German heritage (and, well, everything else), it’s no wonder Zinzinnati is known for hosting the world’s second largest Oktoberfest celebration, attracting more than 500,000 visitors to the region every year.

Some Oktoberfest History

The first Oktoberfest took place in 1810. It began to celebrate the union of Crown Prince Ludwig I and Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen, and lasted from October 12 through 18. Despite the name Oktoberfest, most of these events started being held in September beginning in the 20th century. It is widely believed the change was made to take advantage of the better weather and longer days in September.

So don your lederhosen and dirndl—for all things Gemütlichkeit for the stein-hoisting season, from smaller more authentic celebrations to the nation’s largest Oktoberfest, check out the list of Oktoberfest events around Greater Cincinnati below, as well as Oktoberfest-style beers brewed and available at area breweries, and apparel and accessories fit for a [sausage] queen.

Local Oktoberfest Beer

Oktoberfest beer is the catch-all term for beer popular during Oktoberfest season, but it includes Märzen and Festbier, too. Oktoberfest-style beers are malty and bread-like in flavor, and copper in appearance. Märzen (German for March) is the base for Oktoberfest beer, which is traditionally brewed starting in March, “just before the weather became a little too warm to make beer without risking spoiling, bacterial infection, or risk of fire from boiling the wort.” (via Thrillist)

The biggest difference between Märzen and Festbier styles is that classic Märzen style beers should be a little darker, richer, heavier, and a little higher in alcohol than Festbier, which is more golden in color. Thanks to our proud German roots and heritage, there are several Oktoberfest-style beers in Greater Cincinnati for the season, including:

13 Below Brewery Sayler Park
Fall Ale (Oktoberfest style)

Bad Tom Smith Brewery and Spirits Madisonville
13 Preachers (Märzen lager)

Everything Creamy Whips in Cincinnati

What is warm weather in Cincinnati without a creamy whip?! Though these Queen City institutions often serve the same fare with slight or very few deviations, you know your favorite neighborhood soft serve supplier—from Cleves to Hamilton, and Loveland to Mt. Washington, then Northern Kentucky and everywhere in between. The average Greater Cincinnati probably doesn’t need to travel any more than 10 minutes to get to their nearby shop, and many residents have a creamy whip with conveniently located right there in their neighborhood.

Even Gwen Stefani loves these sweet summertime snacks.

Creamy whips are traditionally open seasonally—March or April through September or October—and there are more than 30 in Greater Cincinnati, so there are more than enough opportunities to grab some whippy dip fare before creamy whip season comes to a close.

Here are just a handful of spots we recommend to check out:

The Bold Face Dairy Bar Price Hill

Mt. Healthy Dairy Bar Mt. Healthy

Mt. Washington Creamy Whip Mt. Washington

Norwood Delite Creamy Whip Norwood

Silver Grove Dari Bar Silver Grove

Piper’s Ice Cream Bar Covington

Putz’s Creamy Whip Westwood

Whipty-Do! Landen

Zip Dip Green Twp

That list isn’t even a third of the seasonal soft serve parlors Greater Cincinnati has to offer. Go ahead and start your Tour de Cincinnati Creamy Whips. It might take a while.
