Attractions in Cincinnati
HofbrauHaus
The legendary Munich beer hall comes to the US. This spot harks back to a point in Cincinnati's Germanic history when, in the 1890s, there were 1800 saloons for 297,000 people, guzzling over twice as much beer than the rest of the country.

Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Arts
The city recently slicked up its centerpiece, Fountain Square (cnr 5th & Vine Sts), and added an ice rink to keep the fancy old 'Spirit of the Waters' fountain company. Just north, the Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Arts displays modern art in a new, avant-garde building designed by Iranian architect Zaha Hadid. The structure and its artworks are a pretty big deal for traditionalist Cincy.

Hathaway's
Hathaway's hasn't changed its retro dinette tables, or apron-wearing waitresses, since it started feeding hungry businesspeople 30-plus years ago. It does great burgers, melts, malts and shakes and if you're in at breakfast try the goetta. The latter is a Cincy specialty, made with pork, oats, onions and herbs, cooked in loaves and enjoyed with syrup or ketchup.

Skyline Chili
Skyline has a cult-like following devoted to its version of the local speciality 'five-way chili' - ie meat sauce (spiced with chocolate and cinnamon) with spaghetti and beans, garnished with cheese and onions. You can get it three-way (minus onions and beans) or four-way (minus onions or beans), but why not go the whole way; life's an adventure.

Southgate House
On the Kentucky side of the river, this is a brilliant music venue where you can see local musicians and touring bands alike. There is also a lounge with pool tables and an art gallery presenting the best of the local art scene. The house itself is worth checking out, amongst others it was the home of General Thompson - inventor of the 'Tommy Gun'.

National Underground Railroad Freedom Center
The elegant 1876 Roebling Suspension Bridge was a forerunner of John Roebling's famous Brooklyn Bridge in New York. At its foot is the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, with exhibits on how slaves escaped to the north; Cincinnati was a prominent stop on the railroad and a center for abolitionist activities led by residents, such as Harriet Beecher Stowe.

Carew Tower
Get a bird's eye view from the world's tallest standing pre-WWII tower. The 49th-floor observation deck has a fine art deco interior and affords magnificent views. You can look across the Ohio river to Kentucky or gaze down on Cincinnati's architecture.

Montgomery Inn at the Boathouse
Almost as renowned and addictive as Cincinnati chili are Montgomery Inn's barbecued ribs. There are a couple of outlets, but this riverside one is the best, taming carnivores with 13.5 tons of meat weekly.
