Megan thinks it is similar to blood sausage in consistency and a bit in flavor.
Tour of Cincinnati-style Chili
Cincinnati is known for putting a sloppy, thin, meat chili spiced with chocolate and cinnamon on spaghetti and loading it with cheddar cheese. This may sound gross, but trust us it's delicious! Megan has gotten many of her non-Cincinnati friends hooked on the stuff via Skyline Chili dip! There are many ways to have Cincinnati-style chili: 3-way (spaghetti, chili, and cheese), 4-way (spaghetti, chili, kidney beans or onions, and cheese), 5-way (spaghetti, chili, kidney beans, onions, and cheddar cheese) or just try it on a coney dog. You can get it at either of our two popular fast food chains: Skyline (Megan's favorite) or Gold Star (Brian suggests chili cheese fries from here) or at one of the many neighborhood chili parlors: Camp Washington Chili, Pleasant Ridge Chili, Blue Ash Chili, Price Hill Chili... the list goes on and on.
Afternoon in Eden Park
This is a gorgeous park in Cincinnati that is also home to the Cincinnati Art Museum, Krohn Conservatory, and some great views of the river. Megan and Brian suggest making an afternoon of it and spend some time in the park taking in the views, head to the Art Museum to take in the art, then head to the Krohn Conservatory for the fresh air and plants. Have lunch in Mt. Adams at the Bowtie Cafe (or one of the other cute restaurants) or at Gomez salsa in nearby Walnut Hills.
For the Sports Fans
Welcome to the jungle! Though the Bengals won't be playing, there are tours of Paul Brown Stadium. The Cincinnati Reds are in town for the weekend of our wedding. They will be playing the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday and Sunday at Great American Ballpark. One of MLS's newest soccer clubs is FC Cincinnati. The 2019 schedule hasn't been released yet, but we suggest attending a game, if they are in town. Brian and I enjoy attending the FC games, as the crowds are fun and the team is good!
