Walking Cincinnati by Danny Korman and Katie Meyer is the first book in decades for local history fanatics and adventurers wanting a more hands-on approach to Cincinnati history and culture. This guide literally walks readers through the city's renowned historical, architectural, and culinary sites. The unique character comes alive through Walking Cincinnati's focus on human-interest, and gives the readers surprise after surprise in its 30 walks. Never before has such an extensive book been written that highlights not only the architecture, art, and food, but also touches upon Greater Cincinnati's darker side. Tales and locations of crimes, hauntings, illegal casinos, mob bosses, and brothels will astonish readers and unveil secrets of the city that have long been overlooked by traditional local history books.
Great book that covers area walks in urban Cincinnati. Includes clear concise directions, area points of interest like historic sites and restaurants, with turn-by-turn directions. I've lived in Cincinnati for some time and was happy to find this book and discover even more things of interest in this history-rich area. My husband and I have been able to spend a great day out with only this book, a few dollars and a good pair of walking shoes. Highly recommend for those new and old to the Cincinnati area.
What a great resource for visiting Cincinnati, which I will do in early March. I love walking tours such as these, with maps, clear walking directions, and historical information about buildings and neighborhoods. I only wish I had time to walk all 32 walks. I'm so glad I found this book.
