The new pay-to-play world we live in can be a little overwhelming.
Do I really need Netflix and HBO Max? Why is my old favorite show ONLY streaming on Paramount+ now? Why does Spotify keep getting more expensive? What exactly do I get if I subscribe to Cincinnati.com?
Well, an answer to one of those questions (the Cincinnati.com one) is that you get to sign up for At the Table, the weekly behind-the-scenes newsletter from our food and dining writer, Keith Pandolfi.
Along with recommendations and breaking news, Keith also shares his thoughts on restaurants, trends, gossip and all of the things that make Cincinnati one of the most enjoyable cities for dining in America.
If you're already convinced, click or tap here to sign up now. Keith will send you an email every Wednesday at noon (what we call "hungry time"). NOTE: Just to be clear, this newsletter is only available for Cincinnati.com subscribers, so do that first if you're not.
Not convinced yet? Here's a selection of some of his recent newsletters you might want to check out. You'll see that it's kinda like getting to peek at Keith's journal every week. Isn't that worth a subscription to Cincinnati.com in itself? We think so.
We're also hungry now.
