Struggling restaurants

Hello,

I’m from Columbus and traveling to Cincinnati soon. I would love to support some local owned restaurants that may not get the attention they deserve. Any recommendations?

Brew River was the first thing that popped into my head. They were literally asking people to just straight up donate money a year or two ago. I'm actually shocked they're still open.

Hmm, struggling is a hard one. We have a competitive market down here, I would say. I can't think of any downtown areas that are truly struggling. im sure they exist though.
