The real deal: Although Skyline Chili is the most popular and prominent place to eat real Cincinnati chili, avoid the crowds and the tourists and head to Blue Ash Chili, a no-nonsense restaurant known for its huge sandwiches and authentic, brown sugar chili. Local tipple: Cincinnatians are notorious for their love of beer. Most locals would say their favorite would be Christian Moerlein, a premium beer that sells at a premium price. Editor’s favorite watering hole: Arnold's is the oldest bar in Cincinnati, dating back to the 1860s, with a unique atmosphere that cannot be matched (check out the bathtub where they made gin during Prohibition). Did we mention it’s free? Explore centuries of art and artifacts at no cost when you visit the Cincinnati Art Museum. The museum was started in 1876 and has everything from one of the country’s finest ancient Egyptian art collections (including a mummy from 300 B.C.) to the modern marvels of Warhol. Chill-out spot: For terrific views of Cincinnati, Kentucky, and Indiana, make your way atop Carew Tower Observatory way up on the 49th floor.
