HANNAH LOVES CINCINNATI CHILI, Nick is still learning to love it. Skyline and Goldstar make up the two big chains for Cincinnati Chili. What is Cincinnati chili? Our chili is more of a meat sauce that we put on top of hot dogs (coneys) or spaghetti (a 3, 4, or 5 way) with mounds of cheese. Hannah's Favorite: 4-way with onions Nick's Favorite: Chilito (a chili burrito) Settle the debate once and for all, try both GOLDSTAR (Hannah's Dad's favorite) and SKYLINE (Hannah's Mom's side's favorite) and tell us your favorite!
This second oldest zoo in the U.S., considered one of the best in the country, and THE WORLD'S SEXIEST ZOO! The zoo is most renowned for its endangered species and birthing programs, particularly for gorillas and white tigers, and has a wonderful collection of felines and a delightful manatees exhibit. Come meet Fiona, miracle hippo baby who survived after being born 6 weeks before she was due and was too small to stand and nurse from her mom, Bibi. Hannah's Favorite Wild Animal: Cheetah and Lions Nick's Favorite Wild Animal: Elephant and Gorilla
Originally the train station, this art deco terminal has transformed into various exhibits and fun for kids!
This museum tells the story of the Underground Railroad and its significance in American history. It’s an educational and emotional experience, shedding light on the struggle for freedom and human rights.
This spot is famous for its authentic Belgian waffles and is a favorite of Hannah's brother, Ian. Located in several spots across the city, including OTR and Findlay Market, it’s a great brunch or breakfast option.
Located in nearby Fairfield, Jungle Jim’s is a grocery store like no other. With over 500,000 square feet of food from around the world, it’s a must-visit for foodies and a fun, silly experience. Don't miss Lion Elvis or the Rockin' Cereal Band.
Findlay Market is Ohio's oldest continuously operated public market and one of Cincinnati's most cherished institutions, welcoming more than one million visitors each year. Located just blocks from downtown in Over-the-Rhine, a dense historic neighborhood rich in 19th century architecture, Findlay Market remains the bustling center of farm fresh, locally sourced, artisanal and specialty foods. Open Tuesday through Sunday year round, Findlay Market is home to more than 50 full-time merchants selling meat, fish, poultry, produce, flowers, cheese, deli, ethnic foods and more. On weekends, the Market also hosts a thriving Farmers Market, a vibrant Outdoor Market, numerous street performers and several special events. A stop on the Cincinnati tour when Nick first visited!
Graeter's ice cream has over 150 years of experience in handcrafting French Pot ice cream ("French pot" process that produces denser than average ice cream). Its national recognition for this ice cream grew over time, in particular after Oprah Winfrey declared it the best ice cream she had ever tasted in 2002.
United Dairy Farmers (UDF), another stop for ice cream! Originally a dairy store, UDF stores are also convenience stores, with some operating a gas station as well. All locations have a full-service dairy counter where customers can purchase ice cream by the scoop, sundaes, and milkshakes. Hannah thinks that Graeter's ice cream is better quality, but UDF has her favorite flavor, Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough!
A Cincinnati classic, known for their famous ribs, BBQ sauce, and scenic views of the Ohio River.
