Visiting in August!

Studied at UC CCM in the 80's, but it's been a minute. Where should we stay if we want to explore my old stomping grounds for a weekend? What should not be missed, in addition to Chili parlors and Graeter's? LIVE MUSIC RECS WELCOME. Thanks everyone! Fun fact. I played cello in a band at the Crystal Parrot to pay the rent while attending the conservatory.

There is a hotel on campus called Graduate by Hilton. I presume this area is your stomping grounds as you didn’t mention where. Hard to say what should not be missed as this depends on what you like. Cincinnati Museum Center is a great place to start. There are art museums, sports arenas, and restaurants everywhere. As far as music venues, Southgate House revival is a great place. The Blue Note, Madison Theatre, AJ Brady music center, MegaCorp Pavilion and Bogarts are a few. Have fun!

There's a new hotel on the corner of Clifton and Straight that seems nice? The Celare I think? I've been on their roof top bar a few times. Good Old Fashioneds.
