Those who love art but wish to appreciate regional work rather than globally curated collections should head to ARTneo, the Museum of Northeast Ohio Art. Located in Gordon Square, this unique museum showcases artists from past and present who called Northeast Ohio home. Plan your visit ahead of time, as they're currently open by appointment only. If you can't find an appointment that works for you, consider heading to their free open house event at 78th Street Studios on Friday, November 20th. These Third Friday events have been voted the Best Arts Event in Cleveland.

Fine art has lived at the Taft Museum of Art in downtown Cincinnati for the last 200 years. Art and history come alive in ways unlike any other museum in the state. Though one of the finest small art museums in the country, there are countless hidden gems throughout the historic building. Eleven different period-inspired rooms display masterpieces from the 17th to 19th centuries. Current exhibits available for viewing during Go to an Art Museum Day include galleries celebrating local Cincinnati art over the history of the Taft Museum.

Enjoy free admission to the Cincinnati Contemporary Arts Center and view their current exhibits, including works from Marjolijn Dijkman, Vhils, Kader Attia, and Tania Candiani. One of the reasons why we love the Contemporary Arts Center is because it also hosts the UnMuseum. This innovative area allows adults and children alike to get hands-on with art and unleash their creativity.

We all know what the best part of the meal is. Whether you're planning a date night and need the perfect spot to follow dinner, or you're simply out on the prowl to satisfy your sweet tooth, a great dessert can seemingly solve any problem.
And if you happen to live in the Cincinnati area, then you have a lot of great options to choose from. Whether your idea of the perfect dessert is a slice of fresh-baked pie, a mountain of home-churned ice cream, or both, these sweet spots will satisfy your cravings.

Nestled in the heart of Cincinnati's historic Over-the-Rhine neighborhood, Sweet Petit Desserts crafts unique miniature desserts for all occasions.

Graeter's Ice Cream
511 Walnut St., Cincinnati, OH 45202
View this post on Instagram
Founded in 1870, Graeter's is America's oldest family-owned and operated ice cream producer. They've grown to be a beloved regional chain with about 50 locations, but they got their start right here in the Queen City. We're big fans of their Fountain Square location, where you can sample all the classic flavors, along with seasonal creations like Brown Butter Bourbon Pecan and Ellen's Blueberry Pie. If you're into fall flavors, be sure to check out their Pumpkin ice cream while it lasts!
O Pie O
1527 Madison Rd., Cincinnati, OH 45206
Say what you will about punny names, but an Ohio pie shop called O Pie O, that's not bad. With locations in Walnut Hills and Over-the Rhine, this beloved Cincinnati institution offers a dizzying array of pies. Order by the slice or take a whole pie home with you. Their blueberry pancake pie and brown-butter pumpkin pies are simply outstanding, and they even serve beer to go along with the more savory side of the menu, like classic English shepherd's pie. And don't forget about quiche! There aren't many places where you can eat pie for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert, but O Pie O is just such a place.
Hello Honey
633 Vine St., Cincinnati, OH 45202
View this post on Instagram
Hello Honey, a cozy creamery in Downtown Cincinnati, is one of those rare ice cream joints where you really taste the craft that goes into every scoop. Their ice cream is made from scratch in small batches, using only fresh, all-natural ingredients. The results are often creative, and always irresistible. Flavors like banana honeycomb, espresso nut brittle, and raspberry chamomile chocolate chip will make you want to come back for a second cone before you've finished the first.
Aglamesis Bros
3046 Madison Rd., Cincinnati, OH 45209
At Aglamesis Brothers, the focus has always been on fine chocolates and ice cream, made with old-world craftsmanship and attention to detail. Established in 1908, the shop was originally founded by Thomas and Nicholas Aglamesis, who came from Greece with little more than a strong work ethic and a knack for making sweets. These days, Aglamesis Brothers has been family-owned for four generations, and still charms visitors with its old-fashioned soda fountain atmosphere.
Happy Chicks Bakery
4035 Hamilton Ave., Cincinnati, OH 45223
View this post on Instagram
With a focus on cakes and cupcakes, Happy Chicks Bakery is fun, women-owned bakery in Cincinnati's Northside neighborhood. They're especially well known for their creative wedding cakes. Everything on the menu is shockingly delicious, and what's even more shocking is that it's all vegan.

View this post on Instagram
The BonBonerie is a fantastic bakery, no doubt about it. But it's also so much more. Since 1986 it's been one of Cincinnati's favorite sources of cookies and cupcakes, and they've also gotten to be well-known for their adjoining cafe and tearoom. Afternoon tea is served daily, and an assortment of tasty soups, salads, and sandwiches round out the lunchtime menu. That being said, you'll want to save room for a cookie or cupcake.
Brown Bear Bakery
116 E. 13th St, Cincinnati, OH 45202
With exceptional baked goods and a cozy, laid-back-chic vibe, Brown Bear Bakery has become a staple of the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood. Walk-ins are on hold due to the pandemic (all orders are currently online), so you may have to wait to experience the charming ambiance. But you can still always grab a cinnamon roll, scone, or croissant for curbside pickup! Don't forget a hot coffee to go with it.

The moonshiner's wife was found dead and Andrews sustained severe burns that resulted in his untimely death. Visitors claim that the castle is haunted by three ghosts — a male entity who is likely Harry Andrews, a female entity who is assumed to be the moonshiner's wife, and a Viking entity that is said to haunt the castle's exterior.

Floating orbs can be seen in around the home, assumedly spirits of the nuns who perished there. In the basement, spirits have been known to scare visitors. Take a tour inside and see for yourself!
