Cincinnati is a terrific city to visit and but it may seem like downtown restaurants are hard to find on the weekend.  Here are some suggestions to help you plan your trip.

You can find basic information on how to get to the feis, where to park, and activities and attractions on other pages on our site.

Restaurants

Downtown Cincinnati is easy to walk at night.  Most restaurants will be east of the feis site.  Cincinnati.com has a restaurant guide that sometimes links to a menu or review in advance - here's a search that will return only downtown restaurants.  The Cincinnati USA (Chamber of Commerce) site has a restaurant search as well .  Keep in mind that many of these restaurants may close in the evenings (or open late) on the weekend.  Some recommendations:

Coffee

Craving a morning java?  Starbucks has a number of locations downtown (map), with the closest at 401 Vine south and east of the Convention Center. A great local option, Lookout Joe's has a store at 15 W Seventh (two blocks north and east of the Convention Center), open from 8 to noon on Saturday.
