Hotels, if you want to walk to PBS, I would suggest:
Downtown:
The Westin, Hyatt, The Hilton, or the 21c museum.
Covington:
Marriott or the Holoiday Inn
Dining:
There are plenty of options to eat at on the Banks which is right between Paul Brown and the Reds Stadium.
The Banks Restaurants I would suggest:
Christian Moerlein-A local brew pub with fantastic food
The Yardhouse-100+ Beers on tap
Holy Grail
Other Restaurants downton:
The Seante-Great Hotdogs
Bakersfield
A Tovla
Places to visit-
Since our games arent on campus this year, you will have to visit our campus!
If you are into craft beer, then there are plenty of craft breweries around town. Rhinegeist is downtown and is an easy walk/ taxi drive away from the hotels listed above.
The Cincinnati Museum Center
There are more that I will post at a later time
I'm only doing the correction so they will know what to look for:
Senate is the place with the great hotdogs. It has been mentioned in national magazines as one of the best places to go for a dog. But it's not a hot dog joint.
A Tavola is a good, upscale pizza place.
Those two, plus Bakersfield are all on Vine Street just north of Central Parkway. On the weekend, they quickly fill up. There are a number of other restaurants down there, including Taste of Belgium, Salazar, The Anchor, Kaze, Lavomatic, The Eagle, Abigail Street...
Downtown restaurants tend to be upscale, but there are plenty of options. I personally like Nada, an upscale Mexican place at the corner of Sixth and Walnut. For less upscale, my most frequent visit is to Taqueria Mercado just up the street, which I think still has entertainment on Saturday night.
There are four upscale steakhouses downtown, two of which are national chains: Morton's, Ruth's Chris, Prime, and Jeff Ruby, the local favorite.
This past weekend, I stayed at the Museum Hotel (21C), a branch of the Louisville chain. Expensive, and artsy fartsy, but I enjoyed my stay. The Cincinnatian is the other high end hotel.
Someone mentioned The Banks, which is next to the Red's stadium and down the street from Paul Brown. Moerlein Lager House and The Yard House are very popular. There's also a Toby Keith's, Tin Roof, Mahogany, Crave, Wine Guy...and a beer/taco place - Jefferson Hall, Holy Grail, which is a sports bar that serves bar food.
On Fountain Square is Rock Bottom Brewery, Palomino, McCormick and Schmicks, Boi Na Braza (a Brazilian steakhouse) Local 127, Via Vite (Italian), and a martini bar.
STAY AWAY FROM THE MILLENIUM HOTEL!!!!!!
There's more but dinner's calling.
