    I am surprised NYT did not mention the food Cincinnati is famous for. If you visit Cincinnati you have to try Skyline Chili. It is the greatest chili of all time and defines the city. For fancier dining try Hugo in Oakley or JeanRo Bistro downtown.

  2. One must have Cincinnati chili – Skyline is better than the others; man up and have a 5 way with a couple of cheese coneys. At least one breakfast must include a trip to the Anchor Grill in Ky for Goetta, try the Goetta and cheese omelet. Graeters is by far superior ice cream – try a chip flavor and look forward to thumb sized dark chocolate in the ice cream. The Graeters bakery on Reading Road, just out of downtown, is worth the trip for the cheese filled crowns. Also, get a taco salad at Taco Casa, go for the large one.

  3. Best sushi and atmosphere go to Green Papaya located on Wasson St. in Oakly/Hyde Park

  4. Melts is a joke……….it would have been special in the 70s….. but it is leftover East Bay antics. it take about 20 yrs for anything to make it to Cincinnati.

  5. Jean Ro’s is the best restaurant now that Pigalle’s and The Maisonette are closed. Go to Graeter’s for the ice cream

  6. For an ultra late night (ie, after bar closing (2 PM)) snack try Skyline at the corner of Clifton and Ludlow. Zips Cafe on Delta avenue is a nice place for Burgers. Mt. Adams has some bars with nice skyline views. Mt. Adams grill is also a nice place for dinner.

  7. NYT, you totally failed in recommending Cincinnati’s food options. How could you forget Cincinnati Chili?! This food is truly unique to Cincinnati – outsiders find it weird, Cincinnatians love it. Try Skyline (most people’s favorite), or Gold Star, or one of the many smaller local places. Order a 3-way and a cheese coney. Also, Graeters’ or Aglameises Bros. Ice Cream are a must! (There is on Aglameses in Montgomery too, and it’s my favorite. Oprah likes Graeter’s…) Montgomery Inn isn’t as good as it once was, but is still a classic, and their bbq sauce is famous. There are lots of other good places too, but the 4 I mentioned are must-eat-at places for any Cincinnati visitor. The places NYT recommended were all kind of yuppie places that aren’t too different from what you could get in NYC….

  8. SKYLINE CHILI IS A MUST.

  9. In Clifton near UC: Graeter’s Ice Cream shop after a dose of Skyline Chili.

    When in downtown Cincinnati, you must go to Silverglades on 8th, an authentic New York-style deli. Breakfast, lunch and early dinner. Known for their famous chicken salads and homemade soups, salads, and sandwiches. Family owned and operated since 1922. Originated at the Historic Findlay Market which still remains a vital part of the business. Check them out on line: silvergladesdeli.com.

  11. You mentioned Newport and didn’t say anything about the Hofbrauhaus! This was the first Hofbrauhaus built in the U.S. and brews beer under liscense from Hof. Munich. Wake up guys.

  12. Don’t forget to try Cincinnati’s own style of chili, called “Cincinnati Chili”. There are many different outlets for it, but my favorite has always been “Skyline”. There are bunch of them all over the city and surrounding areas. It is of Greek origins and unlike anything you’ve had called chili. Served over spaghetti with options for onions, cheese and beans.JRC
