Our very first date spot! Just steps from Hotel Covington, this trendy taco + tequila restaurant is known for its bold flavors, creative “epic tacos,” and fun, eclectic décor. It’s the perfect place to grab a bite or a cocktail before exploring downtown Covington.
A special place for us — we’ve had several dates here and even took our engagement photos among the lush greenery. The Conservatory features tropical plants, seasonal floral shows, and a peaceful indoor rainforest. Just outside, Eden Park offers walking paths, lakes, and stunning overlooks of the Ohio River and skyline.
No trip to Cincinnati is complete without a stop at Graeter’s, the beloved local ice cream shop that’s been making small-batch, French-pot ice cream since 1870. It’s one of our favorite treats in the city — Bethany always gets Boldly Bearcat, her go-to flavor, while Jeremy loves trying whatever new seasonal flavor they’re featuring. Whether you’re craving something rich and chocolatey or something fun and limited-edition, Graeter’s is a must-visit for a sweet taste of Cincinnati.
One of the best views in the entire region. The Devou Park lookout offers sweeping, panoramic views of the Cincinnati skyline — especially beautiful at sunset. The park also has winding walking trails, quiet picnic spots, and plenty of space to relax and enjoy the scenery.
Ohio’s oldest continuously operating public market and one of the most vibrant spots in the city. Browse local vendors, grab coffee or pastries, try international foods, or simply soak in the lively atmosphere. It’s a great place to spend a morning or early afternoon.
A quirky and colorful museum filled with vintage neon signs, restored shop fronts, and nostalgic Americana. It’s incredibly fun to wander through — and a fantastic photo opportunity for anyone who loves something offbeat and unique.
Located inside the historic Atlas Building, Urbana Café is Bethany’s absolute favorite place to grab coffee in the city. It’s cozy, modern, and known for its rich espresso drinks, delicious mochas, and perfectly smooth iced vanilla lattes. If you’re exploring downtown Cincinnati, this is the perfect stop for a morning pick-me-up or an afternoon treat.
