What are some places in Cincinnati, Ohio or Covington, Kentucky area that I should try whilst I’m over there again /ck/ frens?

What we are doing: returning to Jungle Jim’s for pure grocery store kink

What we did last year: went to the Argentinian Empanadas place in Covington. Went to the public market and got that grain sausage meat that I can’t remember what it’s called.

So Cincinnati /ck/ anons, what do you all recommend for me?

How could I not return to this?

The best fried chicken in the Midwest is 30-ish minutes west at a place called Wagner's in Oldenburg, Indiana. Strong's Pizza is considered some of the best there is. Both places have won very prestigious awards. The Kroger at the end of Vine Street is where you can see some of the more interesting Negroes the city has to offer. If you're into music, also on Vine is Bogart's, a kickass music venue, and Mike's Music is next door. Avondale is where you go to buy drugs. Don't bother with Cincy chili unless it's homemade.

Pure kino

>>21386054
I might check out Wagner’s we will be taking a day to check out Indianapolis. I know that I’ll be gambling at the casino in Shelbyville.

>>21386054
String’s looks kino like 80’s-90’s Pizza Hut but pure and improved. I bet the pizza is delicious there.

This is definitely on the list

>>21386033 (OP)
go to a reds game and get a chili dog from skyline

>>21386033 (OP)
anytime I'm in Cinci I go to hofbrauhaus in newport and get a cold hofbrau lager and some german food. best restaurant in the midwest as far as I'm concerned.

Quan Hapa has good okonomiyaki

>>21386093
My wife loves German food! She would love to go here!

>>21386155
Also a good recommendation going to be difficult to decide where to go in the 2 days we will have there

>>21386033 (OP)
Get some Queen City Sausage Brats or Metts while you're at Jims.

>>21386222
I won’t have a means to cook while there

>>21386222
QC hot dogs are the only dogs worth eating, IMO.

For some wierd reason there are alot of central Asians in the Cincinnati area.
Their restaurants aren't bad. Their cuisine is similar to Turkish/Persian with some Russian and to a less degree Chinese influence.

>>21386033 (OP)
Go to Skyline I beg you

Are there any newish hipster places in CinCin? I'm thinking of visiting because apparently it has bluffs with good views of the Ohio River.

>>21387813
If you want good views of the river I recommend driving up the Ohio from Cincinnati on the Ohio side, then back again on the Kentucky side. Very pretty rural americana.

You can go to the party store if you like alcohol. It's like a Walmart but just for booze

>>21386033 (OP)
Abigail street
Phoenician taverna
Ambar India
Skyline
Rhinegeist brewery
That’s all I care to hit when I go home

>>21386033 (OP)
cinci is underrated af for a midwest city. its sort of the middle point between the midwest and the south. and it's not a desolate crime ridden shithole like most big midwestern cities

>>21387987
I thought that Party store was a Michigan thing. Interesting.

>>21387694
Any recs in that direction?

>>21388179
Thanks I’ll have to look into this

>>21387659
Hmmm

>>21388428
Fucked my own trip up

>>21387948
I am looking (ideally) for views on a bluff/hill where I may park and photograph such views.

Also looking for "New American" cuisine that isn't fine dining.

I went to Ohio once, Bowling Green it was fucking awful, did I miss out on anything?

>>21388437
I had Ramen in this sort of hipster neo-diner setting in Youngstown. It was like they only had ramen one day a week and I just happened to be there on the right day. There was also a really pretty mill with walking trails along a creek nearby. I wish I could find the name of the place I had ramen at - it wasn't Japanese it was more like a hipster coffee shop serving lunch as a cafe.
ALSO, the part of Ohio near the WV border has some gorgeous hikes if you haven't done them - edge of appalachia preserve + raven's rock
and there's pretty little hollers
at piatt park and the OTHER ravens rocks which says you need a permit some places online (the ravens rock thats a view overlooking the ohio you theoretically DO need a permit from the shawnee state park ranger stations to hike) but the ravens rock that's a mini gorge near beallsville you don't , I went there saw the signage they clearly want it to be accessible to the public and it's very pretty. Piatt park has a "steeper" side if you hang a right at the divide as you head downhill (very steep! you have been warned!) but both directions take you to a swimming hole that is deep enough to not touch bottom in.

>>21386057
It's on the way to Indy from Cincy if you're taking 74, which you will. Cool little town with a German character. Also, you'll pass near Batesville Casket, North America's largest manufacturer of caskets and urns. Fun happy fact: The second largest supplier of caskets is just southeast in Aurora.

>>21388491
Now that’s interesting information!

I know one place I’ll definitely be returning to this trip….

>>21388428
It's called The Party Source and it's just over the river in Kentucky.

>>21388572
My car is rigged for road trip.

Road trip McDonald’s just hits different

When in Little Rock…

They give you some fries to munch on while you wait for your burger.

I put malt vinegar on mine.

They got your grandpa’s music playing. Nothing but 50’s music.

Got me a pepper jack cheese and grilled onions… sooo good. Wonderful quality beef too!

A break to gamble

>>21390384
You're a cunt, I got wind of it in your Winstar thread. You pretend to be affable and humble, but actually you're insidious and narcissistic. I wish nothing but negativity for you as you're a disingenuous piece of shit.

>>21390414
Thanks, your spite has given me good luck

>>21390443
It's not spite. It's a genuine assessment of you. I outlined exactly how you were: your demeanor in your previous thread - gloating and being acerbic. And, once more, being so egotistical. You have so many flaws, yet portray yourself as some kind of king. You're a fucking lowlife. I didn't really have time for you, but at the same time I thought you had some level of humility. You showed your true self in the last thread.

>>21390453
Are you mad that I don’t consider men in whigs to be real women?

Andy’s Mediterranean Grille, Montgomery Inn, Eli’s BBQ, Skyline chili, Jungle Jim’s, Rheingeist brewery

>>21390467
Nothing to do with that, I don't consider them women either. It was the rest of it. Obnoxious, conceited, arrogant. Fucking diabolical.

>>21386033 (OP)
Jungle Jim's, kek! My son worked in the bakery there for a while, I go once a week. If you head north on 4 from there (about a mile perhaps?) there's a Thai place named House of Bangkok. Last I heard it might be carryout only, but it's good. Another 600 yards north of that is a Skyline if you're in the mood. Gotta try Graeter's if you haven't had it, there's one inside the Jungle, or just grab a pint while you're shopping. Black raspberry chip is my recommendation.

any good food in and or around parkersburg or the ohio river corridor in general between cincinnati and marietta ohio ish?

>>21390476
Hmm thanks for the rec

>>21390471
Thanks, I’m outside of Nashville inside of I-840 if anyone was wondering.

Looks like some good recs. Should make Kentucky by nightfall God willing.

Hey Kentucky has a casino!

Nice!

>>21386033 (OP)
Oh look, the bigot's back.

>>21390932
Being a bigot is fine. Being and attention whoring name fag is not.

>>21390933
Bigotry is good luck

>>21386043
Mecca for hot sauce.

I don't really know any Cincinnati specific resatuarants that a traveler needs to go to though. Except something obvious like Skyline. Maybe Frisches Big Boy just because they're about to die out, but it's not like they're that amazing. I assume most of the stuff I like is stuff you could find in any major city. Some great food, but nothing I'd travel for.
If you're trying to save a few dollars, I'd try to find a Bibibop for lunch. It's like Chipotle for Korean food.
The place that I plan to take my friends who are new to town would be the Schoolhouse Restaurant out in eastern side of the suburbs, but that's 95% for the vibes. The food is forgetable.
Ann's India in that area is solid. Good stuff, quiet place without enough customers, but I imagine you could find good Indian places everywhere.

>>21387813
Weiss Bakery makes good food. The inside sounds like a gymnasium, so on a day with good weather and eat outside. Or if you have a bitch wife who you don't want to talk to because it's a good excuse to say "lets just be quiet and eat our food because I can't hear a goddamn word you're saying".

>>21390998
Nice.

We are about to go out to cookout for dinner, apparently Kentucky has some now. Also, there’s a White Castle near the hotel. And a BBQ place.

God I love this place

I need one of these in dfw

Tastes like a burger cooked on a public grill at a park.

>>21386033 (OP)
The grain sausage is called goetta, you should get it again. Most of the diners in the area should have it. I recommend Camp Washington Chili but it's closed Sundays. If you're there tomorrow I'm not super familiar with the Kentucky side but Fort Wright Family Restaurant is good.

>>21391250
I’ll be there during the week.

That's a beautiful skyline.

>>21386033 (OP)
My wife is from the area and I went to college near Cincy. Here's what we liked:
Sacred beast, condado tacos, Nicholson's tavern & pub, eckerlin meats, taste of Belgium, Cooper's hawk

Skyline over Gold Star any day ~wife

>>21386033 (OP)
I guess Skyline Chili is the probably the number one thing that most locals would recommend
Not interested in it myself but I guess from the perspective of pure novelty it's probably worth doing

>>21386033 (OP)
When I go to Jungle Jim's I always make sure to get a loaf of pepperoni bread.

Is there any good hipster food in Ohio? Please help!

>>21391715
I need to make my own pepperoni rolls. The key is making the dough puffy, soft, and sweet, but then including both homemade tomato sauce, and cheese. I think for pepperoni rolls you want a tart thick sauce (inside the dough) with lots of herbs and maybe for the cheese mozz is a waste of time use something with more flavor like parmesan or something artisanal.

I find liquor laws to be the most obvious difference between the states

>>21386033 (OP)
I was in Dayton in April. Only good thing there is the National Air Force Museum.

>>21391389
>Skyline Chili is the probably the number one thing that most locals would recommend

Literally no.

>>21386033 (OP)
Izzy's (get the reuben)
Montgomery Inn (get the ribs and onion straws, my favorite meal of all time)
Not a huge fan of cincinnati chili, fucking sue me faggots, but dixie chili is pretty good slop.
Lots of others but those are the best IMO.

If you gotta choose one, go to montgomery inn and get the ribs.

Just toured mammoth cave. Do you think McDowell might have been a biggot?

Found a regional soda guys!

It’s like sprite and Mountain Dew

Had to stop at Buc-ee’s

Check out all of the different neighborhood chili parlors. There is also an underground speakeasy called Ghost Baby.

>>21392445
Interesting, I have to be honest, we made Cincy chilli at home and was not too fond of it.

Having Montana steakhouse because everything else is closed in Bowling Green on Sunday.

I think I might try Cincy chilli at one of these places. Just having chili con carne is enough to make me not like the difference between it and Cincy chilli.

Pretty good southwest eggrolls

Prime rib, mashed taters.

Bbq bacon chicken with red cabbage with goat cheese.

>>21388483
Name of the neo diner? I'm nearby and curious now

I’m about to try Bruster’s

>>21392556
I have no idea I found it in yelp years ago all I remember was it is somewhere in Youngstown Ohio. I wish I could find it.

I got Boston creme pie and chocolate pecan

The ice cream was super soft, flavorful, and the cone… my god the cone was brittle but soooo delicious!

>>21392693
yum

On a mission to find more ski, I found the mountain dude instead!

I found more ski

Ale81!

>>21386033 (OP)
Wunderbar in Covington. Get whatever house made sausage they have that day. I'd suggest the curry. And the pierogis.

Op ur a biggut how dare u

Also, go to Gold Star Chili

>>21393095
I think I’m going to try a small bit o the chilli

What’s /ck/‘s opinion of the free continental breakfast from Holliday Inn Express?

Had to check out the corvette museum. Might post photos on /o/ l8er

Fuck it’s closed

Plan B

Menu shot

Pretzel

This is the worst as well as baurenschnitzel

That’s a lot of copper

Went to the wrong Jim’s Kek

I should have checked my wife’s directions

I’ve cream time

I got bourbon pecan

She got buckeye

Got some Knobb creek

They have a liquor store Attached to the main

Foot longs and lil dudes

Exotic meat!

Listening to the band play

Why isn’t /ck/ selling 4chan cookies?

The have red bang’s!

These jokers

>>21394259
It's worth going to both of them, the Fairfield one's the OG

>>21394359
So far, I’m liking this location

Might visit the other one

Finally, the proper ingredients for a full English breakfast

They sell certified shitposter’s hats here!

What could this be?

>>21394380
It’s tits

Do I need this?

The fish section

Just a hammerhead in a bathtub

Big Lobsters

>>21386033 (OP)
>Covington, Kentucky
Beards & Bellies Barbecue. Try the lamb ribs

>>21394412
Hmm thanks for the rec.

>>21394080
Hey I stayed in that hotel once when going ta reds game. There's a really nice AMC theatre next door too

>>21394687
Is there any building in Cincin where I can pay to go to the top and get a nice view from?

>>21394687
Interesting it’s always fun to explore different parts of America. I love road trips. I think I’ll probably buy an RV and tour the country full time some day. Would be kinda fun. Doing laundry while playing Solitaire at my hotel now.

After 4 attempts, I won.

>>21386033 (OP)
>m*dwest
Might as well get McDonald’s. It’s the best food-like substance you’ll I’ll find in that hellhole. They love to claim “durr our farms”, but with the average IQ of the region floating just above 50 they don’t realize that they’re all factory farms or farms that specialize in animal feed. Go with something safe. At least McDonald’s doesn’t serve the local industrial grade meat products that restaurants there will proudly advertise since the locals aren’t bright enough to know this.

Maybe try the cincinatti meat spaghetti just so you could say you did, but don’t expect it to be good.

>>21394745
Now this is a picky eater personality that I wish I could understand the mindset of….

Also Cincy anons. I might be forced to dine in tomorrow. Is La Rosa’s any good?

>>21394756
>picky eater
How is not being inclined to dine solely on factory farmed garbage and canned food casseroles being picky? The only thing I’ll never eat is snail and that has a lot to do with an aversion to terrestrial mollusks than it does with the flavor itself. I eat plenty of offal of multiple species, am not offended by any vegetables or seasonings and have an extremely open palate. Just because I don’t want to call preserved and industrial grade slop “good” doesn’t make me picky. Simple m*dwestern hampster wheel brain is rubbing off on you, friend.

Just playing some minigolf in Florence

A moonbow?

Time to try this meme

Got a 5way and a coney

>>21394308
I was at the Buffalo Trace distillery in Frankfort Kentucky back in July last year for a wedding. Recommend a visit

>>21395507
HYB. I got a Three Way and a Chirito when I was there.

>>21395507
Where's the oyster crackers?

>>21395515
Right here

We actually liked this better than when we made it at home. The hot sauce improved things.

>>21395520
They need spicier stuff there

>>21395524
It was definitely mild, but it definitely distracts your mind from the cinnamon flavor

>>21395513
That chorito is tempting

>>21395524
Good stuff

Sorry to /sp/ post in here, but just saw the Bungles training camp

Time to try hard rock

Won

They got a really nice digital craps table here I shot for a bit. 194 into 310

She’s doin good on slots too

>>21388435
Hope not too late, but two good spots for views are Bellevue Hill and Eden Park. Bellevue has a great view of the city and Eden is more natural with the river and hills.

Feed me yo’ wilds!

My wife now likes craps. I went from 127$ to 600$ but then I put $125 on all points and she threw a 7. Should have not been so greedy. Kek

The Primavista is a really nice Italian place on the west side if you want to spend your winnings. It has a great overlook of Cincinnati

The hard rock has interesting decorations

>>21392126
Going to Izzy’s

Arrived

Man this place has Dr. Brown’s!

Wife got the Rueben

I got the Izzy burger

>>21396030
Love their potato pancakes

Rice pudding soo good

>>21396049
>whipped cream
>no cinnamon

I disapprove of this rice pudding

>>21396048
They are an amazing alternative to fries

>>21396057
Yeah, but I’m in the mood for a bit of blandness

Potato chips are regional

I’m trying these

The old Okeydoke

Gross

>>21396109
the Grippo's BBQ are the most classically "Cincinnati" chips

If you are still in the area, try a UDF. They have reallty good ice cream and are reasonable priced.

>>21396271
Passed one earlier today

Wife says it looks like he got caught fucking the sandwiches

>>21396110


These are good

>>21396136
This, was gonna say shoulda got the grippos. You can even buy grippo seasoning at the grocery.

>>21396420
Maybe I’ll get some tomorrow

>>21392114
Well you could have fooled me from all the assholes constantly recommending it every time one of these threads pops up

Visiting the aquarium saw a masculine haircut skinny gray haired tranny in a dress with earrings on. My wife gave me a eyes wide opened look.

Fish

They have young women dress up as mermaids here.

Penguins

Arrived

Saw a Trump camper out back, so we must be in God’s country.

>>21386054
Menu shot

Cheese sticks

>>21397563
Those look like good cheese sticks

And our pizza’s have arrived

Wife got the almost famous Buffalo pizza without jalapeños

I took a bite and it’s delicious. Has those Grippo’s chips on it.

Well thank you for all of the Cincy recommendations. I’ll let this thread die and make a new one in a few days asking for Detroit/Toledo recommendations. Thanks /ck/ for reading my personal blog.

Good tour with OC, especially. You are a huge penisface, but thanks all the same. You switched between sounding like a 20 year old, a 40 year old and a 60 year old. I'm guessing you're between 46 and 56?

We were the only ones in there other than the bar.

I'm going to Cleveland in August. Where are 2 good places to eat?
