Two Best of Cincinnati picks
Last year, CityBeat readers and staff showed us love with four Best of Cincinnati® picks, including Best New Store and Best Green-Oriented Business. This year, they returned the love with two picks: Best Green-Oriented Business and Best Environmental Classes. It’s a complete honor to be recognized along with so many deserving arts organizations, musicians and other independent retail stores in Over-the-Rhine. We love you, CityBeat readers and staff. Thank you for all your amazing support over the past year.

Goods Staff Picks
BEST ENVIRONMENTAL CLASSES: We’re all getting barraged with this “going green” trend, and it’s left plenty of us scratching our heads and wondering, well, what exactly should we do to go green? Luckily there’s Park + Vine, our city’s green general store, to show us struggling wannabe-greenies the way to environmental salvation. Park + Vine holds multiple informal classes per week on easy, actionable stuff like household energy saving, ecosafe cleaning, composting and cloth diapering. They also host book clubs for eco-enthusiasts and offer courses on organic and vegan cooking, kitchen gardens and canning. Toward a cleaner, greener Cincinnati! 1109 Vine St., Over-the-Rhine, 513-721-7275.
