Located along the Ohio River, The Banks provides spectacular riverfront views and lines the water with a family friendly park.

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.
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!
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!
