I hear they make some mean chili in Cincinnati.

I can't help with your questions. I've never been to Cincy.

I used to live in Cincinnati when I was young. The Zoo is nice. Go to a Reds game.

There are some nice food spots and bars around the Reds Stadium. Also, Newport on the Levee isn't to bad either.

My wife and I go up all the time. Hit up a Skyline Chili (they're everywhere, and the chili is unique ... and very good). For shopping, Newport on the Levee (just across the river) is neat - and you can get some good shots of the city from there. Kings Island is about 25 miles up I-71. Ride The Beast at night. As already mentioned, the zoo is good, and you should go to a Reds game.

An off-the-wall place is a grocery store called Jungle Jim's. it's pretty remarkable. There are two, but the original is about 30 miles up I-75 from downtown.

Chris Lofton is from Maysville, KY. Practically Cincinnati.

Well, more like an hour outside, but close enough.

It is unique to call soup chili. It's a thing to do but it's a soup not a chili. The ball park is nice.

I have to disagree -- the chili is really nothing like any soup I've ever had. It may be a little soupy if you get it with the pinto beans, but by itself it's pretty thick. Sort of the consistency of hot dog chili from the ballpark, except it tastes a lot different.

Montgomery Inn Boathouse is a good place to eat, just up the river from the stadium. Great ribs. The zoo is very good, catch a Reds game, the Reds Hall of Fame has some nice memorabilia. Also, Newport on the Levee and the Aquarium across the river in Newport, KY. And of course, Skyline Chili is a Cincinnati original.

I should warn you, you will either love or hate the chili. I hated it. I should say though I just got the skyline chili from the store, so maybe it's not as good as restaurant. Like others said though, Reds game, kings Island, and zoo.

Forgot about the casino. They usually have concerts every week too, but I haven't heard of any for next week.

Agreed. Their BBQ sauce is pretty damn good. One of my favorite places in Cincy.

I think it's pretty good on the Coneys, but awful when it's in a 3-way (on spaghetti, topped with cheese).
