Over-the-Rhine

German roots, the city's dining core

German immigrants named this quarter after the Miami and Erie Canal reminded them of crossing the Rhine for work, and OTR still carries that heritage in its food, beer and language. It now sits on the National Register of Historic Places and holds the country's largest collection of well preserved Italianate architecture, packed with restaurants, cocktail bars and events radiating out from Washington Park.

Findlay Market

Ohio's oldest public market, still working

Ohio's oldest continuously operated public market sits just blocks from downtown on the northern edge of Over-the-Rhine, in a dense, historic quarter of nineteenth century architecture. It welcomes more than a million visitors a year, houses over 50 full time merchants selling farm fresh, artisanal and specialty food, and runs year round Tuesday through Sunday, with a farmers and outdoor market and street performers taking over on weekends.

Downtown & The Banks

Riverfront stadiums, parks, and the Ohio River

The Banks is Cincinnati's riverfront playground, combining the Reds and Bengals stadiums with restaurants, bars, parks, live music and views of the Ohio River and the Roebling Suspension Bridge, itself the prototype for Brooklyn's more famous span. Smale Riverfront Park and the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center anchor the rest of the walk between downtown proper and the water. Visit Cincy →

Mount Adams

Hillside views, art, and Eden Park

One of Cincinnati's oldest neighborhoods, perched on a hill above downtown with steep twisting streets, eclectic restaurants and a real arts scene. An early landowner called it the Garden of Eden, and Eden Park became the neighborhood's crown jewel, now home to the Cincinnati Art Museum, the Krohn Conservatory and the Playhouse in the Park.

Covington

Across the river, Northern Kentucky

Just across the Ohio River in Northern Kentucky, Covington was laid out in 1815 and grew through tobacco, ironworks, distilleries and steamboat trade before a late twentieth century redevelopment brought back its riverfront and historic districts. Nineteen distinct neighborhoods and a dozen historic districts pack in German churches, basilicas and rowhouses within easy sight of the Cincinnati skyline. Wikipedia: Covington →

Northside

Independent, artsy, unmistakably itself

A racially and economically diverse neighborhood with a heavy concentration of artists, college students and young professionals, often called Cincinnati's gay village. Originally known as Cumminsville, it grew after the Miami and Erie Canal arrived in the 1820s, and today it is known for independently owned shops, vegan and vegetarian dining, and a beloved Fourth of July celebration.
