I went to college in Cincinnati, and more recently I’ve also traveled in for Bills games there. It’s a nice walkable city. If you want a dive bar, I’m your guy! 😂
They have a lot of park areas that not all cities enjoy. It’s a nice city for walking. What used to be dangerous in the Over The Rhine area (OTR) is now very cool with breweries all over the place, if that is your thing. It’s a beer drinking largely German town. Oktoberfest is a hoot!
Hyde Park is cute and has Graeter’s Ice Cream, which is semi-famous and quite good, I’m told. I like Arthurs, a little cafe around the corner. I texted a Cincinnati buddy this afternoon that I probably think of Zip’s (hamburger joint in Mt Lookout) more than he does! It’s nothing special, just a neighborhood place, which makes it special. That is comfort food to me.
I never got into the chili they are famous for, because, well…… I guess I just like food that tastes good. It was largely a “what’s open when the bars close” food in college.
