Jetsetter offers a roundup of the best old and new attractions in Cincinnati.

Jetsetter has compiled an extensive list of the best places to eat, drink, and hang out in Cincinnati, which — thanks in part to recent revitalization efforts — has big-city energy while still maintaining its Midwestern charm.

The author, a Cincinnati native, leads with Skyline (of course) but also points to places from OTR (The Rook) to Blue Ash (Fretboard Brewing Company).

And while food and beer are a huge draw, attractions, shops, parks, and accommodations like the art museum, Findlay Market, Smale Riverfront Park, and 21c Museum Hotel. There’s enough to fill a week’s vacation, but it’s also a good list for locals looking to explore their hometown.
