Located in the heart of downtown Cincy, the square is the center for restaurants, coffee shops, bars, and local vibes. Walking distance to Smale Park, the Ohio River, Over-the-Rhine, the Aranoff, Paul Brown Stadium, and Great American Ball Park. Grab some Graeter's Ice Cream, dine at Nada (fancy mexican), or rent a bike and bike around the city. They often have events or live music happening on the square, and in the winter they have an ice skating rink.
