Food, Drinks, and ICE CREAM

Agave & Rye: Home to some of the most creative and tasty tacos we have ever had!

Bibibop: Think Chipotle, but Asian grill style. This chain started in Ohio but has already expanded to a couple other states!

The Gatherall: A food hall with a little bit of everything!

Graeter's: THE famous Cincinnati ice cream chain

MadTree Brewing: Right down the road from St. Cecilia- a great place to hang out for drinks and a bite to eat!

Molly Malone's Irish Pub: If our reception ends too early for you, we give a high recommendation to continue the party here!

Simply Rolled: This is where we got that DELICIOUS rolled ice cream in two of the pictures on the Our Story page

Sleepy Bee Cafe: Cutesy brunch cafe across the street from St. Cecilia

Skyline Chili: If you know, you know. If you don't, you probably won't like it (says Katie, who is convinced only native Cincinnatians like it... though also has to admit that it is slowly growing on her...)

Fun Stuff

American Legacy Tours: Great walking and bus tours across Cincinnati, Newport, and Covington

Cincinnati Art Museum: Free general admission! We easily spend hours here at a time

Cincinnati Museum Center: A lot of cool exhibits to see here based out of the Cincinnati Union Terminal

Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden: Where we went on our “first” first date. Come meet Fiona!

Great American Ball Park: Cincinnati Reds host the Milwaukee Brewers 8/15 - 8/17!

Jungle Jim's: Yes, it's technically just an international grocery store, but it's really so much more. We recommend checking out the original Fairfield, OH location, and don't forget to grab a map!

Kings Island: An amusement park- for those who don’t get motion sickness as easily as us!

Newport Aquarium: Our local aquarium. If you go, be sure to tell Katie's mom how much you enjoyed walking over the shark tank! ;)

Smale Riverfront Park: A wonderful walking path along the river, swinging benches overlooking the river, playground and water features (connects/close to Sawyer Point, Friendship Park, and the Purple People Bridge)
