Stay Healthy in Greater Cincinnati

We are all so done with 2020! We hear the wordCOVIDorpandemicand we start to cringe, turn the tv off, turn the radio off or close our web browser. So we ask, how do we maintain our physical and mental health? Especially since millions of us are NOT traveling, how do we stay healthy in thegreater Cincinnati and northern Kentucky area.

The physicians and StriveMD Wellness & Ketamine promote comprehensive mental and physical health and wellness through many interventional and non-interventional means. Here are a few things for us locals, to stay sane while we wait for COVID numbers to improve and vaccines to be delivered. All of the ideas/events are currently OPEN (tentatively).

1. TheJohn A. Roebling Suspension Bridgeis an icon in the Cincinnati region. It’s the prototype of New York’s Brooklyn Bridge and has been dubbed “the singing bridge” due to the way car tires hum when driving across it. Pedestrian lanes make it a picturesque way to get from Cincinnati to Northern Kentucky (and vice versa) on foot
2. Touch a stingray. Or a shark. Visit with seahorses. Or walk across the Shark Bridge suspended over the Surrounded by Sharks exhibit. Kids and adults will be amazed at all the sea life on view at theNewport Aquarium.
3. Enjoy our beautiful skyline over the river. Covington, Newport and Bellevue in Northern Kentucky all have amazing views of the Ohio River and Cincinnati skyline across the river. Go for the views and stay for lunch or dinner at neighboring restaurants
4. You can feed a giraffe at Giraffe Ridge, go eye-to-eye with hippos at Hippo Cove, take a train ride, get up close with gorillas and so much more at theCincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden.
5. Cincinnati-style chili is a way of life for locals. Whether you pour it over a hot dog for a coney or over spaghetti for a 3-way, you’ve got to try this regional favorite during your next visit.
6. Book a sightseeing or dining cruise aboardBB Riverboatsto get a view of the riverfront like none other. Admire the hillsides and sights along the shores of the Ohio River while enjoying the afternoon or evening breezes on the open-air decks.
7. Drink craft beer at the oldest bar in Cincinnati. Arnold’sopened as a saloon more than 150 years ago and survived Prohibition by adding a kitchen to convert the saloon to a cafe. These days, the bar & grill is known for its local selection of craft beer, good food and popular courtyard for outdoor dining.
8. Shop at Findlay market. HistoricFindlay Marketin Over-the-Rhine is the perfect spot for families and couples to relax for a casual lunch, purchase fresh locally-sourced food, sip a craft beer in the biergarden, or enjoy a scoop ofDojo Gelato.
9. Drink locally made bourbon in N. Kentucky. TourThe B-Lineand enjoy a sip at bourbon distilleries and bourbon bars likeNew Riff Distilling, the northernmost stop on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail Craft Tour;Boone County Distilling, which makes authentic bourbon whiskey in the northern hills of Kentucky; andOld Kentucky Bourbon Bar, home to more than 300 domestic bourbons and whiskeys to choose from.
10. Visit the Cincinnati Art Museum. Ascend 450 feet from the base to the top at the Cincinnati Art Museum’s new experience, Art Climb, and enjoy views of the city and surrounding Eden Park along the way. Plus, tour the museum for free to browse their collection of more than 67,000 objects spanning 6,000 years of art work from around the world.
11. Spend a day at the Ark Encounter. Explore the architectural marvel,Ark Encounter, the largest timber frame structure in the world. Go inside to see the world-class, biblical-themed exhibits. Outdoors the family will love the Ararat Ridge Zoo and Screaming Eagle Aerial Adventures.
12. Cheer on the Cincinnati Reds at Fountain Square. Watching aCincinnati Redsbaseball game is a tradition that dates back to 1869 when the Cincinnati Redlegs became America’s first professional baseball team. But this year due to the pandemic, we have to get creative with how we experience America’s favorite pastime.Fountain Square, in the heart of downtown, has plenty of space between their outdoor tables and their concession stand is open daily serving refreshments including alcoholic beverages. Bring some peanuts and grab some dinner from a nearby restaurant to enjoy while watching the Reds play on the big screen.
13. Take a stroll/walk/jog along miles of walkways and paths along the Ohio River!
