Travel + Leisure calls Cincinnati “the Midwest’s next big thing.”

The Queen City is growing — and getting younger. Cincinnati is poised to have a major moment, and nowhere is this more apparent than in Over-the-Rhine, a vibrant, culturally rich district that's home to Findlay Market: the 165-year-old focal point of the city's growing food scene.

 

Travel + Leisure sites bakeries like Allez and Brown Bear Bakery — plus hotels like 21c Cincinnati and Hotel Covington — as reasons to visit. When it’s safe.
