We love their Empanadas and they're only $2 each at the bar. Get a variety and share. Our faves are the pork belly, steak, and chicken. You'll find specials throughout the week. Pasta night is a must on Tuesdays and the gnocchi with short rib is divine.

Graeter's is a local favorite for ice cream and is made in an old fashioned style french pot. It's incredibly rich and had a silky smooth texture. The local favorite is the Black Raspberry Chip. But, I also love Coconut Chip too.

By far the best ribs in Cincinnati! It has a dry rub with sugar that lacquers the meat and with the sauce, it's pure lip-smacking good! Several locations around Cincinnati but with this one in Findlay Market, you can also check out the market and other local shops there too.

Visit Arnold's Bar and Grill, the oldest bar and grill in Cincinnati. Live music on the patio every night. Amazing food! My favorite is the seasonal salmon dish or the truffle risotto. You may even recognize their courtyard in many movies that were filmed here in Cincy: Wise Guys, Marauders, Carol, and the list goes on. Be sure to try an Ale8, if you've never had it. They are hard to find this far north. But, if you need something a little stronger, you can't go wrong with the Diebold Old Fashioned.
