Bridgeview Box Park
Park
Open Details
You've arrived in Cincinnati, although you're still technically in Kentucky on the south side of the Ohio River. You'll have a great time hanging out at Bridgeview Box Park, an outdoor promenade with bars, food stands and other businesses built from shipping containers.
Feel free to enjoy a French-style pancake from CrepeGuys, bubble tea from Bon Mi Street, a cocktail from Kon Tiki or another refreshment, but save room for dinner at your next stop. You're really here to enjoy views of the waterfront and Cincinnati skyline. The park is part of the larger Newport on the Levee shopping complex with plenty of businesses to visit.

Skyline Chili
Restaurant
Open Details
Skyline Chili was founded in Cincinnati more than 70 years ago and now has dozens of locations throughout Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. Pull off Interstate 74 in Dent to see what the iconic chain is all about.
Cincinnati-style chili, initially popular with Greek immigrants, is typically served on pasta with shredded cheese on top. The chili itself is made with beef and Mediterranean spices, almost like a heartier version of a pasta sauce.
This particular Skyline Chili is on the newer side and geared toward travelers with extended hours and a convenient off-highway location.
