Uptown includes all the neighborhoods around the University of Cincinnati, so it’s a diverse mix of students and residents in one of the city's most distinct and eclectic group of neighborhoods. Uptown is the home of the Cincinnati Zoo as well as multiple hospitals and the Ludlow shopping district where you can find trendy and unique shops as well as any scent of incense you need.

Ethnic restaurants, including a curiously high concentration of Indian eateries, multiple taverns, coffee houses, music venues and the Esquire - one of Cincinnati's finest  independent  art house movie theaters all make Uptown a one-stop walkable bazaar of exciting entertainment options.
