Livin' It Up in Cincinnati

Recently I have been getting a few questions about what to do in Cincinnati. So here is a simple post of some listings of what the first and second years do. It is mostly catered to what I do. I have also provided links to various resources in the list. Please enjoy.

Night out sort of thing

• Black Finn (if you like dancing)
• The Lodge Bar 
• Cadillac Ranch (mechanical Bull included stay posted to watch me get thrown)
• Fountain Square (has a lot of stuff going throughout the year)
• Mt Adams (area has a lot of things)
• Mt Lookout (area has a lot of restaurants and bars)
• Gas Light District (tons of great indian food and coffee shops)

If you are like me and don't really enjoy making small talk and dancing at clubs here are some outdoor type things

• the Ohio River
• Rock Climbing (there are several indoor gyms and outdoor crags)
• Red River Gorge (2 hours away but worth the trip)
• Skiing

Dancing...

• Lindy Hop Weekly Dance and Lesson (this is swing dancing and is awesome)
• College Town Hall Dancing Lessons (I cannot comment because I have never been)
• Salsa

Sporting Events

• Bearcats
• Bengals
• Reds (student nights and cheap tickets available)
• In addition to these at UC there are numerous intramural sports that students can participate in

This is just the basics. There are tons of other events that go on throughout the year and there are also several other close cities to visit such as Columbus, Indianapolis, Lexington, Dayton, and Louisville. Also D.C., Chicago, Nashville, Pittsburgh, and Cleveland are not too far either.
