Great place for sushi and Asian Fusion in Cincinnati, with a young, hip vibe that makes you continue coming back time and time again. Get those traditional Korean entrees, too. Very close to campus, so parking during certain hours can be a challenge. Great place to stop, if you are already parked on campus for a visit.

This tour walks through the historic Brewery District in Over-the-Rhine and shares the stories of the men who built and worked in 19th century breweries, exploring dangerous working conditions, grueling hours, and the growing divide between the workers who made the beer and the “Beer Barons” who built fortunes by producing America’s best brews.
