"Located in the heart of Over-The-Rhine, Salazar is a small eatery that is only open during the evenings through the week, but opens at 10:30AM on weekends to serve up some incredible brunch options including pancakes, bacon, fried oyster sandwiches, fried Brussels sprouts, biscuits and gravy, and more. This is one of the most highly rated brunch spots in the city and it’s well worth a visit. Location: 1401 Republic St, Cincinnati, OH 45202"
"Chef Jose Salazar calls the menu at Over-the-Rhine hotspot Salazar “farm-inspired,” reflecting a Cincinnati both old and new. Most menu items are sourced from regional farmers, from chicken with fingerling potatoes from Ohio’s Amish country to Indiana duck breast with sunchokes and strawberry-rhubarb puree."

"I love ordering Hainanese chicken, crispy pork, and duck from Citrus & Sago. I usually order whole birds or 1lb of the pork as carry-out and share these dishes with 3-4 other people. We always end up with leftovers that I happily eat for lunch the next day!"

"At Yard House enjoy more than 100 taps of the best American craft and import beers, plus a menu with more than 100 dishes made from scratch in our kitchen."
"One of the most unique and romantic hotels in Cincinnati is the Symphony Hotel, which is more like a bed and breakfast than a hotel. It is located in the exciting and historic Over-the-Rhine neighborhood, next to Washington Park and the Cincinnati Music Hall. The hotel has nine guest rooms, each named after a famous music composer."
"We also recommend staying at the Symphony Hotel, a boutique hotel located in a beautifully restored 1871 townhome. There’s a restaurant here that serves New American cuisine, as well as a jazz bar and lounge that is great for pre- and post-dinner drinks. This is a hidden gem in Cincinnati and a favorite spot among music lovers."
"Music lovers will definitely want to book a stay at the Symphony Hotel. The restored 1871 mansion was once a popular spot for music lessons and was also used as a boarding house for musicians. You can choose from nine ornate rooms, all themed after famous composers like Bach and Schubert!"
