So what can I do in Cincinnati?

Get a bowtie.

 

I hear there's a kickass radio station in town

 

Rasberry Chip ice cream from Graeters is awesome.

East Skyline only if you are near a good bathroom for several hours after (You don't buy Skyline, you rent it!!)

Montgomery Inn. . . mmmmm. The ribs are awesome but the pork chops might be even better.

I also believe there is a race at the Kentucky Speedway that weekend.

 

You can also call Killick. He's not busy right now.

In the heart of Clifton and a couple blocks away from a Graeter's (seconded on the raspberry chip). Awesome burritos. Green chile and green apple salsa on a chicken burrito with black beans. Have faith in me on that one.

 

Guys, thanks for the suggestions.

 

Maybe I can bring them a plate of chili with a file hidden underneath so they can escape. Who's the latest guy in trouble for them?

I went there one time and live turkeys were falling from the sky.

It was really weird.

 

Montgomery Inn and Graeter's are both nicely overrated. I don't like chili, but my wife does love the Skyline.

Walking distance (meaning blocks) from the ballpark ... there's basically nothing. They did open a bar - Gametime or something like that - which is a reasonable distance, but no idea if it is still open.

However, I would recommend the Reds Hall of Fame Museum which is right there at the ballpark.

If you love WKRP, then head downtown to Fountain Square to view the fountain which was in the opening shot.

All the good bars which were downtown are now gone (thanks in part to the race riots a few years back). Mt. Lookout is nice, but "preppy." Newport is OK, but is in Kentucky and can be quite cheesy.

 

If you like German food, go across the river to the Hofbrauhaus. The food is great, and the Dunkel is even better. There is a Scottish pub called Nicholson's just up the hill from the stadium exit that's got a great beer selection. Skip Cadillac Ranch - it smells funky for some reason.

They show movies at Fountain Square at night, and that's pretty cool just to sit there in nice weather and chill. There is a brewery/restaurant right there at the square that's pretty good.

Everything I mentioned is within walking distance of the stadium, but to cross the river you can catch the bus for $1.25 each way.

Skyline is naaasssty. :-X
Although I do recommend giving it a try. For Cincy, it's sort of like a Primanti sandwich in Pittsburgh or a cheesesteak in Philly, it's sort of the signature food to say you've experienced.
