When in Rome… or Cincinnati, you eat chili like a local.

This cute coffee shop is where we had our very first date, and it’s been a favorite ever since. If you’re there on a Sunday, be sure to check out the Hyde Park Farmers Market nearby—we love grabbing coffee and strolling through the market together.

The Cincinnati Zoo is a must-see! It's home to Fiona the hippo (a true local celebrity), a walk-through kangaroo exhibit that brings you up close with the 'roos, and an incredible elephant habitat that’s always a crowd favorite. Whether you're a kid or just a kid at heart, it's the perfect way to spend a few hours while you're here!

Carl’s is absolutely the BEST! You really can’t go wrong with any of their sandwiches—they’re some of the best we’ve ever had. It’s hands down one of our favorite spots for lunch!

Ault Park is one of the city’s most beautiful gems, bursting with colorful gardens and lively trails that invite you to explore, unwind, and enjoy the great outdoors. It’s the perfect spot to soak up some sunshine and fresh air!

You have to try Graeter’s Ice Cream—a true Cincinnati classic since 1870! Known for its rich, creamy texture and massive chocolate chips (seriously, they’re huge), it’s the perfect stop for a post-dinner dessert or an afternoon pick-me-up. Don’t miss their signature Black Raspberry Chip!
