Imagine a hipper-than-thou, twenty something year old foodie. This is where those individuals call home, OTR to those local to Cincinnati. If you ask former residents of Cincinnati, they will shriek if you dare deem OTR a "hip spot." It was once ridden with crime, but thanks to a handful (and increasing number of) developers the preservation process has brought back the beauty of OTR. So much so eateries have been featured on "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives," been plastered in New York Times, and celebs can be found frequently in coffee shops (when "Carol" was filmed in the Queen City, there were quite a few sightings in OTR). But with all of the positives, there comes a few negatives. There is some crime still in areas, in fact occasionally there are shootings in recently developed areas that are usually considered "safe zones." You must keep your eyes up from your cell phone and have a companion or two in most areas.
