Started our evening at Moerlein Lager House, walked to Paycor Stadium and enjoyed an evening of great music at the Cincinnati Music Festival. Got to see Stokley, En Vogue, Coco Jones, Kem, and New Edition. Great performances, but our seats were really close...Read More

Had a great day at the Great American Ballpark. Spent the day walking around and enjoying the shops. Later that evening we got to watch the Reds win. Great experience for my first ballgame in Cincinnati.

Take me out to the ball game, buy me some nachos and hotdogs! I don't care if I ever get back just root, root for the Cincinnati Reds, for if they slam a homerun; it's everyone up on their feet, and we're one happy fan...Read More

I grew up in Cincinnati and am amazed at the beauty & safety of The Banks. It is blocked off to car traffic...only pedestrian traffic. Much like 4th Street in Louisville. There's even a Cincinnati Police Substation located there. Watched the Ohio River nearby. Beautiful...Read More

Great atmosphere and fun for adults and family. I love that they closed the road down before, during and after the Bengals game so you can walk in the streets. They had vendors set up in the streets and you can walk around with beers!...Read More
