If you get a chance to punch Jack Ruby in the mouth, don't pass it up.
If you get a chance to eat Skyline Chili, do pass it up.

Reds game has to be the top 3 things to do. Then BBQ.

Go to Bakersfield. The restaurant..not the town.
Complain that they don't serve beer in cowboy boot shaped glasses anymore.

It's a two minute walk across the bridge. There are some nice parks along the River and walking across there are some nice shops and decent restaurants right there in Covington Ky. Also some decent sports bars around the stadium. There is a pretty good zoo or Kings Island if that is your thing.

Well aware of the geography. I was mocking the idea at laughing at another state when you're in the ####ty state of Ohio.
It's like a Browns fan making fun of a Lions fan for having a crappy team.

The craft beer scene in Cincy is strong. Many brewhouses to check out. I'd recommend MadTree (they just opened up an incredible new space in Oakley), but it sounds like you want to stay downtown. Definitely should check out a Reds game if you are ever back in Cincy. They are on the road this weekend.
Get a Moer burger at Moerlein Lager House (next to the Reds stadium). @gianmarco still has wet dreams about that burger.

Thank you doowain and beercat. We are going to Moerlein on Friday night. I heard there is a free trolley near my hotel and that could be a good way to see some of the city.

In my paaaaht of the world, we have two decrepit mill towns, Lowell & Lawrence, NW of the city. Anyone driving through either would be saying either "Why bother?" or "Duck!" but Lowell has a slightly prouder tradition and have been a li'l quicker on the renewal switch, so they thrill to point out how farther advanced they are than their neighboring ####hole. Matter of fact, a few years ago they voted a new city slogan "We're not Lawrence!".
ETA: And i could laugh @ Kentucky from freakin Ghana

First if all you need to stay at the Hoe-liday Inn, that is where all those hot hot Ohio sluts hang out. The hotel bar is a great place to start, buy the local split tail a drink. Be aware the bar has last call at nine, but it's no problem. Order a bottle or two of booze, and make sure to tip the bar tender $40 for his hard work and head for the hot tub. Light up a Cohiba, play some tunes, and enjoy the scene; just be aware that all the partying may cause your IBS to flare up.
But the best news...If it's a business trip... you can write all the expenses off as a cab to Kinko's.

Moerlein's not bad. Definitely check out OTR as well - several places mentioned already, but you can walk around and find lots of hipster bars and restaurants with some really good food. Should be hoppin any weekend night, so be prepared to wait for a table. Plenty of watering holes to kill some time while you wait. And I second the craft beer mention. Madtree is the best, but not downtown. Rhinegheist has a nice space downtown and their beers are pretty good too. Have fun!
Cincy used to be horrible, and still has a bad reputation, but it's gotten waaaaay better in recent years with OTR & riverside developments.

Most have already been mentioned but I'll weigh in.
Reds game. Lot's of places within walking distance to eat/drink. Newer area on the river that's recently been revamped.
Cincinnati Zoo is top notch
Findlay Market. Older area of town. Two interesting restaurants in the area are Pho Lang Thang and Tom & Chee
Cincinnati Museum Center (Union Terminal). Fun fact: DC comics The Hall of Justice was modeled after Union Terminal.
As someone else mentioned Cincy has a strong craft beer scene. If you’re just drinking Madtree is excellent (only 8 miles north of dtown) & Rhinegeist is near Findlay Market. If eating and drinking Moerlein on the river is nice. I don't think their beer is quite as good as Madtree or Rhinegeist but it's more upscale and good food (the Pork Shank and Pork Belly are both excellent).
Newport on the Levee (Aquarium, shopping). You can walk across the Purple People Bridge from downtown.
I saw someone mention Kings Island but it doesn't open until 4/15.

Was this the one north of the city? There used to be one there that had a bar called "Spanky's" in it. Definitely a meat market when it was there but it's gone now.

We have obviously become a giant in the world of comedy; we truly appreciate your advertiserial support.
Now, if only we could developed a wikked funny accent like some other states I know (ahem...), then we could retrain all our out of work coal miners to go on a national comedy tour to end all the sufrin in the land of ours!
You got some time to do a little lingual-like train'n WPer? It would help us all.
Also, thumbs up to the Newport on the Levee & the aquarium especially.

Had the 2nd-best half-hour of my life in Kentucky, watching Big Red storm his acre @ Claiborne.
Have also written, yrs ago, a police procedural TV pilot set in Cincinnati which sorta asked the musical question "what if Christ came back as a cop?" and set his retreat in Cane Ridge - in horse country - which has some powerful beauty and intense religious history to it. So i loves Kentucky for more'n makin' fun of.
And you gotta love my Boston townies cuz they just keep innovatin'. Lately we are celebrating their new term for a hot chick - Slammin' Slewbangah. The culchah is so frikkin rich ovah heah!

Local/ unique Cincy food staples: Graeters, Skyline, and Larosa's Pizza, I'll second the Eli's BBQ mention (get the smoked baked beans)- they're at FInley Market which is something to do in itself.
Not already mentioned: Lots of really nice parks close to the city (Check out Eden Park if you can only see one) Covington (KY) also . Newport on the levee is fun (aquarium, shopping, cinema, some interesting people watching too) as is Hofbrau House in Newport right across the street.

I liked the Montgomery Inn/Boathouse. Nice walk along the rive from the ball parks. I'm not a local tho.
