Things To Do
Explore Over-The-Rhine (OTR)
Check out the thriving, walkable historic neighborhood near downtown Cincinnati. Nolan and I almost always visit this part of the city when we are in town, and we think you will love it too!

Head down to the Banks
Right on the water, The Banks is where you will find everything from sports events to a lively nightlife scene. Located along the Ohio River, The Banks provides spectacular riverfront views and lines the water with a family friendly park. Additionally, the area features long with great biking, walking, and other recreational amenities during the daytime.
Sample local beer at Rhinegeist Brewery
Check out our favorite Cincy beer and excellent vibes at the downtown brewery location! There is a taproom and rooftop bar overlooking the city.
Visit the Cincinnati Art Museum
Those who know us know we love art! Check out the place that inspired Livi growing up, the Cincinnati Art Museum. Located in scenic Eden Park which overlooks all of the city, CAM features a diverse, encyclopedic art collection of more than 73,000 works spanning 6,000 years, as well as traveling international and national exhibits.
Indulge yourself at Skyline Chili
Skyline is famous for its incredibly delicious Cheese Coneys and 3-Ways. Their unique chili is still made with the original secret family recipe passed down through generations of the Lambrinides family. It’s extremely craveable. Some would even say addictive. Yes there are vegetarian options but no Livi does not always choose those...Locations exist all over the city, but the oldest one is in Clifton, the neighborhood where Livi grew up!
Satisfy your sweet tooth at Graeter's Ice Cream
The absolute best ice cream you will ever have.
Travel underground at Ghost Baby
If you are in town early, or want to snag a drink pre-festivities, check out Ghost Baby.* This cocktail bar hosts live music and a groovy atmosphere; it is located in the tunnels formerly used by a Cincinnati brewing company more than 150 years ago, four stories underground. *Note: we recommend reservations to guarantee a spot!
