We just made our first visit to MainStrasse Village and cannot wait to explore it more. We love old neighborhoods and the architecture and tree-lined streets here were amazing. There is a great mix of restaurants, bars and small businesses. The fountain area in the heart of the hood was playing host to a guitarist who made the stroll around the area even more enjoyable. Our waiter said that they regularly have performers there on the weekend. On Sunday morning a yoga class was happening outside in the area. There was an eclectic group of folks in the area when we were there and everyone seemed friendly and to be having a great time.This area is just across the river from downtown Cincinnati and honestly, if we were to relocate for work, we would seriously consider this area for its' great vibe, neighborhood feel and easy access to downtown Cincy, as a place to live.
Unfortunately Chez Nora closed, but this area is still one of our favorites with Dee Felice and Cock and Bull, and Bouquet Restaurant for special occasions!
The majority of the places are closed on Sunday. I'm sure MainStasse is better for visiting when it's not the middle of winter, but when we visited in January. There wasn't anything going on. The history is interesting, and the houses around are cute.
We love the Mainstrasse area. We take out of town visitors there quite often. There is a lot of bars and restaurants all within easy walking distance of each other. The parking is easier than downtown Cincy.
Stayed at a hotel nearby , many places to eat , bars to play pool or have nice dinner. Fun fall festivals, across the river from Cinn.
The historic neighborhoods of Covington are very interesting to explore, and we are frequent visitors who greatly enjoy the architecture and the atmosphere. The Main Strasse Village is where we go for lunch after walking, and is a delight to experience. It's great that our historic cities have been re-discovered, as they are so much more interesting than are the Burbs.
Beautiful architecture, great little cafés and restaurants make this a very cool place to wander around and drop into shops of interest or grab a bite to eat. Bouquet restaurant was my favorite.
Good area if you like to do a lil bar hopping... area looks a lil sketchy but some cool looking bars!
On the other side of the river in Cincinnati for the evening this charming Germanic village is worth a crossing of the Brooklyn Bridge prototype for a look.
There are some really good restaurants and bars in this historic German village. There is street parking and some pay lots. The area is really cool and with a strong German influence.
