Things to do in Cincinnati – April

Jennifer Cox — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 16:20:23 +0000

Spring has arrived! These pics are from my yard and neighborhood. It’s just beautiful up and down the street. Flowers coming alive. Gardens being tended to. The wonderful smell of mulch! The “aggressive” yard guys in the community have already pulled out the lawn mower! We aren’t quite ready for that at our house, but it is just a matter of time. So, in between thinking about what to plant this year, getting the mower ready so you aren’t the last guy in the neighborhood to do something about the lawn, let’s find something fun to do. Even adamant gardeners need a night out!

• The Comedy of Errors – Through April 26. Cincinnati Shakespeare Company
• Larry the Cable Guy – April 2. Bank of Kentucky Center, NKU
• Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra - April 4. Music Hall. Featuring Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg, violinist

• Playhouse in the Park presents “The Foreigner” – Through April 10. A shy Englishman pretends to not understand English while staying in a rural lodge in Georgia. Of course, those around him assume they are free to speak and scheme….and it only gets funnier from there. Go see the show and have a good laugh. Randy & I went a couple of weeks ago. It’s really good! A talented group of actors. You may just recognize a couple of them from other work.
• There is ALWAYS something happening at Jungle Jims! Here are few things to check out:
Easter Brunch- April 12. 11:00 am to 2:00 pm. Includes Children’s Activities, Photos and more! Be sure to call for reservations. 513-674-6053
Of course, there’s always the Cooking Classes. Several of April’s offerings are already sold out! So don’t delay.
April 20 & 21 Take part in A Traditional English Tea Party. Ginger Buttermilk Scones. Smoked Salmon Sandwiches. Victoria Sponge, a sponge cake with whipped cream and fresh raspberries. All this to highlight a selection of English Teas. Ladies, be sure to wear your favorite tea-time hat….or else!
April 30 – Asparagus is the focus this class. Three tasty dishes are prepared to feature one of my favorite vegetables
