Things To Do
Longfellow
Start with the Shiso Painkiller!
Mid City Restaurant
Fried Sandwich + Sweet Potato Fries forever.
Spring Grove
This is Julia's favorite place to walk. Grab a map from the office (pro tip: there's a bathroom in there!) and see if you can find the oldest tree in the cemetery.
Zip's Cafe
Top 3 onion rings in the city according to J+J. Sit at the bar and enjoy the train!
Scotti's Italian Restaurant
The food is fine but the vibe is unmatched.
Mom 'n 'em Coffee & Wine
If you go, we'll likely see you there. The Jon special is an espresso for here and a coffee to go.
Brown Bear Bakery
The tastiest of tasty treats. Plus we designed the merch!
Indigo Hippo
Pay-what-you-can art supply thrift store.
Findlay Market
A must for all locals and out of town guests alike! Try the vegan Italian sandwich from Harmony Plant Fare or snag some chips and hummus from Dean's Mediterranean.
La Mexicana Restaurant
Best tacos around. Try the flor de calabaza!
Western Bowl
Largest bowling alley in the city and it has a Mexican restaurant connected. 10/10 fun time.
Contemporary Arts Center
Head to the Creativity Center on the 6th floor to see Julia's installation, donor wall, and Quiet Room mural!
Cincinnati Art Museum
A special place for J+J. Enjoy the Steinberg mural near the lobby or the Rauschenberg in the Cincinnati Wing. Julia's installation in their Rosenthal Education Center will be up from May-October!
Anderson Ferry on Ohio side
If you're flying in or out of CVG, budget some extra time and take the ferry across the Ohio! The backroads to the airport are beautiful in the summer. Fare is $5/car and cash only.
Thai Express
Takeout only. We'd recommend a pad thai picnic at Bellevue Hill Park.
Eden Park
Beautiful old park in Cincinnati and a special place to us. We got engaged by Mirror Lake!
Blue Jay Restaurant
Nothing better than the Blue Jay Breakfast after a walk at Spring Grove!
