100 Things to Do in Cincinnati Before You Die, 3rd Edition - (100 Things to Do Before You Die) by Rick Pender (Paperback)

About the Book

Cincinnati has intrigued adventurous souls since 1788 when it became the first gateway to America's western frontier. The beautiful Ohio River valley enticed immigrants from 19thcentury Germany, and their entrepreneurial spirit is still evident two centuries later. This third edition of 100 Things to Do in Cincinnati Before You Die is an up-to-date guide to exploring all the Tristate has to offer, with numerous new choices for both visitors and longtime residents to experience. The region's European influences are reflected by a bounty of food and drink to be enjoyed at an authentic tavern, a subterranean cocktail lounge, a Belgian bistro, and tasty Cajun fare. The rich arts community continues to flourish with renovations to the historic Cincinnati Music Hall and new stages for the award-winning Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park and the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company. Gorgeous parks can be found throughout the region, and Findlay Market, one of America's most admired public markets, is a must-visit destination. Local author and tour guide Rick Pender provides fresh reminders of why longtime residents love it here, and it's a destination that never fails to surprise tourists. With this book as your guide, and many means of transportation available, Cincinnati awaits your exploration.
