Mount Adams
by Stephen-KarenConn
Topography, architecture and history combine to give Mt. Adams a unique atmosphere and focus among Cincinnati's legendary hills and neighborhoods. It is one of our favorite sections of the city.
Originally called Mt. Ida, the name was changed in 1843 to honor President John Quincy Adams who visited to dedicate the Cincinnati Observatory. At the time it was the most powerful observatory in the United States. In the early 1800s this hill was the site of the Nicholas Longworth Vineyard. The Catawba grape was developed here, and from it came America's first champagne, Golden Wedding. For a brief period of time Mt. Adams was the center of winemaking in America.
In the mid 19th century many German and Irish immigrants settled on Mt. Adams, building their homes to conform to the steep topography, from wood and stone which was quarried nearby. The Mt. Adams Incline, which operated from 1874 - 1948, carried residents from their homes to downtown Cincinnati.
Today Mt. Adams retains much of its historic quaintness and charm. It is a neighborhood of narrow winding streets, well maintained old homes and gardens, spectacular views, and an ecclectic assortment of shops and restaurants. Many artists and craftsmen make their homes here.

Goetta
by frankcanfly
Goetta (pronounced 'getta') is a regional dish created by German Immigrants. It is a mix of Pork, Beef and some oats. It's a little like a flat sausage patty.
Go to Price Hill Chili for a Goetta Cheese Omelette!!
You can even buy it from the nation's only 'meat vending machine' in Covington, OH.
Yellow Springs, this isn't exactly cincinnati....
by stoney13
so this isn't in cincy, its about 1.5 hr. drive, but so worth the mentioning.
Yellow Springs, Ohio....probably one of the happiest places in our state. Its the kind of place where kids still play outside and people say hi to you as you walk down the street. Everything there is one-of-a-kind locally owned from the grocery store to the laundry mat. Antioch College is located there too. They have Ha Ha's pizza or the Ye Olde Tavern, which is in the haunted ohio books!! the town is surrounded by woods and you can go hiking, repelling, picnicing! and the drive out once your off the highway is something out of a movie. Make sure you put some Bob Dylan or Neil Young in your c.d. player for it:)
right off I-675 by Dayton, OH
Covington - Goose Girl Fountain
by BeatChick
In the center of Covington's MainStrasse Village, you'll find this charming fairy-tale style Goose Girl Fountain. This bronze statue is based on the Brothers Grimm story "The Goose Girl" in homage to the German geese farmers that once lived in this area.
