On Friday night, our Cincinnati adventure took us to Abigail Street, a mediterranean small plates restaurant and wine bar, in the Over-the-Rhine district of Cincinnati near the Ensemble Theatre, where we would be watching my sister perform later that night in The Marvelous Wonderettes: Caps & Gowns.

We are suckers for tapas and happily shared five plates plus one bottle of wine three ways before seeing the show (which was terrific and has been extended through June 1st!). Both are highly recommended.
