Re: Ladies from the state of Ohio, please come in
CVG (Cinti) is a Delta hub so it is ALWAYS more expensive. Definitely check CMH (Columbus).

Also, this. Per the Enquirer (Cincinnati's newspaper, not the publication that reports on alien abductions), crime in OTR has decreased dramatically over the past couple of years. We looked at some lofts there the last time we were home. It's definitely not the area it was when I was a kid learning to drive and getting the, "stay away from Race between block X and block Y" speech from my dad.
We like to travel for sports no matter what (mostly hockey and football).

Fountain Square is in downtown and there are some good places to eat as well as bars around the square. If you want a "Cincinnati" restaurant, Montgomery Inn has awesome ribs & food, the Boathouse location of Mont. Inn is on the Ohio River and is a nice place to have dinner.
Skyline is definitely better than Gold Star. Get Graeter's cream, it is AMAZING. If you want a local to Cincinnati style pizza, LaRosa's is the place to go!
I lived in Clifton for college & grew up in Cincy and while OTR used to be horrendous they have really revitalized the area in the last few years. I would still be cautious as certain areas still aren't the best, but they have some great new places to eat and cool bars to check out. Have fun in Cincinnati, I miss living there!
Ahem.
Just jumping back in to give a plug for OTR.
Chatting with my Cincinnati-based MUA (yeah, we're still close - weird, I know) about being in Ohio this week, and thinking about heading down to Cinti on Saturday, and asked her for recs.
Her suggestions were two places in OTR - Japps (the place I mentioned earlier), and Bakersfield.
A little common sense goes a long way there - don't walk alone, don't wave cash around, etc. But there's so much great stuff happening there now that I definitely wouldn't write it off because it used to have a higher crime rate.

I will say some of OTR is respectable. Some isn't. I guess we need to draw a nest diagram, but I'm not so inclined.
My main concern is with the poster telling her to fly into Colombus. That's just crazy. Dayton, people, DAYTON.
My bff was robbed at gunpoint while on his front porch in Clifton 30 seconds after I had left, but I don't hold it against the area in contradiction of the city's crime stats.
<a href="http://www.thenest.com/?utm_source=ticker&utm_medium=HTML&utm_campaign=tickers" title="Home DMmmm, Lucy Blue's. Their pizza is amazing, especially after the bars close and you're inhaling a large pizza with your two equally drunk friends because you ZOMG have to eat RIGHT NOW. When you have class in less than 5 hours. Not that I know anything about that...
I forgot about Dayton. Glad to hear they're cheaper, the drive from Dayton to Cinci should be sliiiightly shorter (Columbus is about 2 hours, Dayton's closer to an hour and a half).
