East Price Hill
Lots of neighborhoods claim to have the best view in Cincinnati, but East Price Hill just might win that debate.
Exciting things are happening in East Price Hill. There’s a tightly-knit community mindset that’s hard to miss and present in every element of this historical neighborhood.
As with any good neighborhood jaunt, it’s not a bad idea to fuel up on caffeine for some old-fashioned exploring. BLOC Coffee Company, which has been an East Price Hill staple since 2007, is your best bet. BLOC Ministries (Believing and Living One Christ) is an inner-city ministry that wanted to create a place for people to gather in community. They couldn’t have picked a better neighborhood to plant their roots in, especially because there’s such a large community in East Price Hill – the neighborhood is home to over 15,000 residents and counting.
Another surefire staple in East Price Hill is the Incline Public House. The Incline Public House serves up some great food and great views of the city. It’s named after one of the first inclines in the city that climbed up the side of Price Hill, letting passengers off on the place where the restaurant now stands, gifting them with an incredible city view and the end of an uphill journey. The Incline Public House has been featured on the Food Network’s Burgers, Brews and Ques, and their house-fired pizza is pretty darn good, too. And if you can’t make it there in-person, the Incline Public House has a “Live Cam” – a live-streaming view of the city skyline.
Primavista also promises incredible city views. This Italian spot has won numerous accolades from local publications, among them “Best Date Night” and “Most Romantic.” Indeed, what can be more romantic than gazing into your beloved’s eyes while enjoying a delicious meal with a view of the beautiful Cincinnati skyline? Honestly, not too much. There’s also the family-owned Veracruz Mexican Grill. Serving up super authentic flavors, Veracruz has been in the Incline District of Price Hill since 2016.
Plenty of entrepreneurs, like Daniel Smyth, proprietor of Daniel Smyth Photography and along with wife Becky, the Smyth Collective. The former is focused on connecting businesses with their customers, and the latter is dedicated to capturing the special moments of area weddings.
Whatever you do when you visit East Price Hill, make sure to soak up those winning Cincinnati views.
