Just east of Cincinnati, Mariemont was created as one of the first planned communities in the US. As soon as you cross into the quaint village's borders you know you're somewhere special. Gorgeous tree lined streets shelter Tudor style homes as if an English country village has come to life out of a Jane Austen novel.
The heart of the neighborhood, Mariemount Square, features the historic Mariemont Inn as well as one of the first Graeter’s ice cream stores and the artsy Mariemont movie theatre. Nestled within the the square sits a treasure trove of unique gift shops and specialty stores including Tycoon Harry's, one of Cincinnati's only salons dedicated to men. The Dilly Deli is the home of great eats but also one of the areas finest wine shops.
