Ohio Ladies

H & Dagny and I are taking a little mini vacation to Cincinnati at the end of the month, just booked the hotel! We want to do the zoo & the Newport aquarium. Any other recommendations? Is the children's museum good? Any good restaurants we should check out? I'm so excited to get out of town!!

    I think the children's museum is a lot of fun. There are a lot of great parks around also. If you're staying downtown you could go to Washington Park or Sawyer Point. Restaurant recommendations depend on where you're staying (what neighborhood) and what you like, but definitely get some graeter's ice cream! (sorry, that's the pregnant brain talking..)


    ETA how much I LOVE the name Dagny.

  • Thanks for the suggestions! We are staying downtown, near the children's museum actually! So I will put it and the ice cream on my list! And thanks for the name like @mamaP19 :)

  • @ladyofshallot86 - Yes to the grilled cheese place! Its called Tom + Chee and is right by the aquarium. Their food is inexpensive and really yummy. 

    @britbratjf - Is it atlas shrugged inspired? Just curious. I read it recently for the first time. If our LO this time was a girl I was going to suggest that name to DH, but we're having a boy so I'm trying to get him on board with Henry. ;)

    DH works at the Westin. When I asked him for restaurant recommendations near there he said Rock Bottom Brewery (which I can attest has great food & beer -- and is right by graeters). Taste of Belgium is really popular for breakfast/brunch. Bakersfield OTR is supposed to have the best tacos. Shanghai Mamas has really yummy asian (thinking of their shrimp wonton noodle soup is making my mouth water). 

    Oooh. I can't believe I forgot about this. The Banks is a relatively new development right on the river but they have a ton of stuff. Here is a website: https://thebankscincy.com/playing/dining-and-entertainment.aspx

    HTH!

  • @LadyofShallott86 thanks! We will be in town the 24 & 25 if you want to G2G :)

    @mamap19 thank you for the restaurant recommendations ! And yes her name is for Atlas Shrugged. H and I both are huge Ayn Rand fans. If we have a boy next time we are going with eith Roark, as in Howard Roark from the Fountainhead, or Taggart (nickname Tag or TC bc middle name will be Carl). We are screwed if we have another girl!

  • @britbratj  Both of those would be really cute! I'm a sucker for literary inspired names. DD is named after one of my favorite authors since most of the character names i liked were a little too "out there" for DH. Hoping it will be the same for DS.
