In October I went to Cincinnati for a work conference. I stayed right downtown Cincinnati close to the Duke Energy Convention center. That made it great for walking around downtown.
The Queen City. From what I can gather, it is called the Queen City because in the 1800's it attracted thousands of new setters wanting to move west. So it became the Queen of the West. 1
Note: Most of the titles are linked to my more in depth post.
As I was boarding the plane in Arizona a local Ohioan recommended I go to Graters. People in Ohio love their Graters! I went on the night I arrived and later when Sara came to explore the city with me. I am not a huge ice cream fan. When I do get it I usually get chocolate and I like coconut too and chocolate and coconut are yummy!
In this post I talked about the 7 murals that I saw as I was walking around the city.
Day 1
The first place I went to see is the Cincinnati Art museum. 2
It is such an impressive museum and I loved being there wandering around the great art, especially outside!
I did a whole post on the museum
Here are some of my favorites
After spending some time in the museum I walked to the conservatory, which is a mile away. It was a lovely fall day and I enjoyed the walk.
There are 5 different houses and the outside grounds
The Bonsai Gallery
The Orchid House
The Desert House
The Palm House
The Fern House
Art and plants are two of my favorite things so this afternoon in Eden Park was wonderful.
Day 2
My friend Sara came to visit and we went and walked along the river and had a yummy dinner at Montgomery Inn.
We had a blast renting motorized scooters and zipping around the town.
Day 3
Sara was a wonderful friend to take to the Taft Art Museum. We walked to the museum from the hotel and after we went to Wahlburger, cause Sara really likes Backstreet Boys.
The Taft Museum is the collection of Anna and Charles Taft who collected art in the early 1900's. I really enjoy museums that are clearly a persons collection and it is even better when it is in there home. The Isabella Stewart Gardener Museum in Boston is my favorite museum.
I love taking close ups pictures of the art.
There you are... the highlights of Cincinnati from the three days I was there...working. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it and would really like to go back.
