Things To Do
Taste of Belgium - The Banks
This is the place we met at for our first date. Mike picked it out after doing some long-distance research - and Amber approved! It will forever be close to our hearts.
Hofbräuhaus - Newport
If you're looking for a great German experience, we suggest heading to Newport, KY and checking this place out. Beer and food are amazing and there's usually live music. Friday and Saturday night are the most fun.
Skyline Chili
When in ROME! Cincinnati is famous for its Chili. You'll either love it or hate it, but we hope that you'll love it! There are tons of locations around the city; this one is just closest to the hotel block.
LaRosa's Pizza Lakota - West Chester
