Things To Do
Madison
Madison was founded in 1809 and grew similarly to Cincinnati, with commerce rooted in trade along the Ohio River and its connection to rail lines accessing the rest of Indiana. In 1973, 130 blocks of this charming city were named to the National Register of Historic Places, recognizing this beautifully preserved gem of American history. The town boasts a number of AirBnBs and hotels served by many wonderful restaurants and antique shops that we hope you will enjoy during the weekend of our wedding.
Over-The-Rhine
No visit to Cincinnati is complete without a stroll through the urban neighborhood of OTR. This district is the true beating heart of the city's rich history and lasting spirit. Home to the largest collection of 19th-century Italianate buildings in the US, the neighborhood also boasts an incredible array of restaurants, boutique shops, and rowdy bars/clubs. We recommend checking out Findlay Market and Rhinegeist! As upperclassmen, many of Audrey's and my nights with friends ended among the streets, alleys, and sometimes rooftops of Over the Rhine (our new house is right on the northern edge as well!).
University of Cincinnati
This is where Audrey and I met, at DAAP! UC's compact urban campus is always evolving, and its a beautiful place to walk and take in the energy of a small city. I'm sure campus will have a lot to see heading into Halloweekend.
Mount Adams
One of Cincinnati's hills, this one is the most urban set closest to downtown. Audrey and Kyle's first date was at a dive bar here known as the City View Tavern - typically a one-man show with cold draft beers and great burgers enjoyed best on the patio overlooking the city as the sunsets and it lights up for the night. Several other great hip bars and beautiful churches are nestled into this hilltop. It could be a great spot to grab some UDF ice cream!
