Food Scene

Most guests describe Jungle Jim's as a unique experience. The breadth and quality of food is just over the top...like 3500 varieties of hot sauce! Make sure you go to the Fairfield location. It's 45 minutes away but worth it. The Eastgate location is faux, Fairfield is the real thing. If you can go on Saturday that's the show.

Must see. Findlay Market is the best venue for real food in town. It's in an area of OTR that is in the process of gentrification. Try to park close as it is still very uncivilized just a few blocks removed. Worth the risk for the scene. Good restaurants that are part of Findlay are Pho Lang and Eli's. Weekends are the best.

Turner Farms is 200 acre organic farm that is 2.4 miles from the Airbnb. There is a sign out front and a 1/4 mile lane back to the "Farm Market shack". You can wander around the farm if you like or take a peak at the state of the art cooking school in the old barn.

Known for good bagels with good ingredients. Good for a snack or meal anytime. Lox with cream cheese is good. Egg salad is good. Catch Marx there for a good conversation if you don't get on his nerves, then he might blow up on you. Still fun. About 15 minutes from the house.

BEST VEGAN IN CINCINNATI. I haven't eaten here but both daughters say it's good. Yelp has 100's of reviews at 4.5 stars so from a 5 star Airbnb to a 5 star restaurant give it a shot.
