There’s already a lot of great suggestions here but I’ll throw in some of my personal favorites!
- Bee’s BBQ is a nice casual spot in OTR for food and drinks
- If you find yourself in Kentucky, Otto’s has great brunch and dinner. The Covington neighborhood has lots of interesting food/drink choices as well
- If you’re looking for a quick breakfast, there are lots of great bakeries in town. Brown Bear Bakery is excellent, as is Two Seven Two in Clifton (just make sure you get there early enough!). Sugar n’ Spice is a fun breakfast diner in OTR as well
- I like Adriatico’s by UC’s campus for its pizza and sports bar environment. Goodfella’s in OTR has good pizza as well- they’re also open pretty late and the food is pretty cheap all things considered
- Pepp and Dolores (Italian food) is my favorite restaurant, though their reservations get booked up well in advance
- Quan Hapa in OTR has great Asian food
- Graeter’s is a classic for ice cream, but Hello Honey has some of the most interesting flavors I’ve ever tried
- If you’re interested in trying Cincy chili, I would second Camp Washington Chili as well as recommend the Skyline Chili location on Ludlow avenue in Clifton
Hope you have a great time in the city!
I don’t think that’s a costume. I think the horse is the banana
