Great sushi and Japanese influenced restaurant. You have to try the Pork Belly Buns! They also have a really cool beer garden. One of the best patio spots in OTR.

A MUST GO! It can't be explained and the beer is incredible. Great rooftop deck with the best views in OTR. Indoor Ping-pong, Cornhole, and sometimes inflatable Jousting Pit. The Streetcar (also known as The Connector), stops right in front as well as a Cincy Red Bike Station. No food served but outside food is welcomed.

Essentials
Very small grocery store. Has everything but will have a limited selection. Don't expect 14 different kinds of ketchup if you know what I mean. :) For more organic or local selections, check out Findley Market in Northern OTR (I recommend the Streetcar (also known as The Connector) or Cincy Red Bike instead of walking.

Cincinnati's Historic Farmers Market. The place to be on the weekends! Open everyday until 4pm and has everything! Great for fresh, organic, local food. Many shops and cool booths. I recommend The Streetcar (also known as The Connector) or Cincy Red Bike instead of walking. Both have stations right in front of the Market.
