I dream of this place. The food’s incredible, the drinks are lovely and the space is stunning. What else can I ask for? Maybe a cool ground floor basement with DJ sets? Well yeah, they have that too.
Mellotone
NYC-style late night pizza 🤌 big ol slices for the right price
Goodfellas Pizzeria
I love this place sm. Been here multiple times trying different stuff, and it’s all been a hit. The service is so sweet, too.
Alcove
the garlic edamame has literal chunks of parmesan garlic pieces. need I say more? I can, because the chicken katsu garlic noodles on builds on that dreamy idea
Quan Hapa
I have a happy Venezuelan husband on my hands whenever we can stop by and get an arepa. It is a Colombian restaraunt, but they bring some comfort because they also carry some authentic snacks he grew up with in Caracas
The Arepa Place
sausage, egg and cheddar on an asiago bagel—thank me later
The Bagelry

walk through the rose garden, sit in the bench-swings, roll out a blanket—with it's view of the Roebling Bridge, the Ohio River, the Bengals Stadium, the Reds Stadium, this park is so beautiful
Riverfront Park
it doesn't matter if you like soccer or not, the game's atmosphere is so fun; the city comes alive and you'll be the odd one out around the city on game day if you're not wearing orange or blue
FC Cincinnati game
Not only is it a local favorite, but it's position in American art history makes it a worthy stop to pass through the showroom and catch a tour.
