Took a walk to the district from my downtown Hotel. What a mixture of shops and such. A wild used Book Store, very nice hat shop, Tattoo Parlors, triple X shop, nice cafes, a huge Goodwill Store, a wild mixture of stuff! If you have time and nothing to do, take a stroll down to the District.
The Oregon district is a neat, comfortable area with a lot of variety. Go with an open mind and have a lot of fun.
Mostly 18th century buildings redone in an eclectic mix of shops and eateries. The neighbour features great old architecture on properties that display proud looking 19th century homes and well groomed grounds.
Thai 9 is the best thai restaurant!! Their tom Kai yum coconut chicken soup is awesome!! Sushi and entrees pop in your mouth! Love the other restaurants and shops also.
Loved the shops and restaurants. Felt very safe walking there from my hotel. Would like to visit again when I am back in town on business.
Always something going on in the Oregon distrct. Get something to eat at the many restaurants and bars then get a drink and listen to one of the many music groups that play there.
This is a great place for an evening out. Lots of restaurants, bars, clubs, and even a brewery. There is usually some type of live entertainment at most of the bars or an event happening. Even has some interesting little shops.
I love going to the Oregon District for a great meal and to visit the speciality shops. There is a great bar scene and most will have live music especially on the weekends. I never miss it at Christmas time because all of the houses are so beautifully decorated.
The Oregon district was one of the first things that I noticed about downtown Dayton after taking a wrong turn. It was a nice discovery and I had to plan a return. There's numerous restaurant around the historic district, coupled with bars, a lounge, thrift store, church, coffee house, record store, antique and clothing shops. There's usually a couple of events going on in the area. It makes for a nice stroll and good times.
For a better funky, fun, walkable area, the small town of Yellow Springs is a quick 20-30 min druve; however, if time or transportation do not allow, then this is the best Dayton has to offer for a unique city neighborhood, tiny as it may be. Parking is a hassle on days with nice weather, and like most cities, don't tempt the parking overlords or a ticket will be yours. The Thai 9 restaurant is by far the best restaurant around and well worth the prices. Dress code is casual to sharp casual or date night attire. It is always busy, so arrive early or have reservations. Best parking for the entire area is behind this restaurant, but be sure to eat here if you park here. Very open, modern loft feel, with a good bit of noise when in full swing. Sushi bar - great!, tables of various sizes, full bar with exotic options, and outdoor patio seating. Perfect for date night or groups of all kinds. Wonderful food with a large variety of options.
