Things to Do
Element Eatery
Location? Unbeatable. Vibes? Immaculate. Walk across the street from The Summit Hotel and enjoy all that this food hall/hang zone has to offer.
Sleepy Bee Cafe
Looking for a tasty local breakfast spot? Gotta get the goetta, or try any other syrup-friendly item (we suggest the Queen City Bee sandwich) on this popular spot's varied and home-grown menu.
MadTree Brewing
This sprawling brewery is a five-minute drive from the hotel and boasts a giant menu, on-site pizza, indoor/outdoor seating, and all the beer-slinging, plaid-wearing, beard-having Midwest dudes you could wish for.
Ault Park
Looking for a midday walking spot? Visit the lovely trails and tracks of this east side park, filled with community gardens, cool views, and a castle-like pavilion that's likely to be hosting a wedding of its own.
Arthur's
A Cincy institution, this mural-walled burger joint is the perfect spot for a quick lunch–or an afternoon hang–before or after walking around adorable Hyde Park Square.
Factory 52
Also very convenient to the hotel, this converted playing card factory is now a multi-use gathering space with sprawling lawns, shops, restaurants, activities, and plenty of oversized card photo opps. Do it for the 'gram.
Green Papaya
A date night fave, this Thai/Asian restaurant looks unassuming, but serves up seriously yummy pad Thai, sushi, and fried rice. Perfect for a quick dine-in or an easy takeout.
Aglamesis Bro's
Stop by this blast from the past, 50s style ice cream parlor for a decadent homemade scoop or pick up a selection of fine gourmet chocolates. Did we celebrate our engagement by going here for dessert? Why yes we did.
Findlay Market
Half bustling market, half extensive eatery, this historic gem has been a central hub for Cincy since 1855. Stroll, nosh, sip, and wander into greater Over-the-Rhine afterwards to check out one of the most dynamic neighborhoods in the city.
Anjou
Wanna venture out for a cocktail? Try our fave post-opera bar, where friendly mixologists will shake up a bountiful bevy of beverages for your enjoyment. Plus it's like, really pretty and stuff.
Newport Aquarium
The Cincinnati Zoo also rocks, but we're partial to the aquatic wonders of this large-scale, water-filled fun palace. Can you pet sharks? You betcha. What about penguins? Those too. Truly, the deep sea opportunities are endless.
