Marjorie’s Cincinnati Shopping & Dining Guide
Our Cincinnati personal stylist, Marjorie, shares her hometown favorites for boutiques and restaurants. Explore Marj’s standout spots to discover all that Cincinnati has to offer!
SHOPPING
When it comes to the best shopping places in Cincinnati, a few standouts should not be missed. Soho Hyde Park is a must-visit, offering amazing brands like Ulla Johnson, Staud, and Golden Goose. The owner has curated the selection exceptionally well, ensuring a great shopping experience. Romualdo, one of my personal favorites (and my first job!), consistently provides the best options for any occasion. Whether you're preparing for a golf trip with the boys, a black-tie event, or a night out, they have you covered with top brands like Peter Millar and Greyson, along with custom clothing options.
Elizabeth & Grace Home is another gem, offering luxe homewares perfect for gifts or personal use. I have several items from our wedding registry from here, and I wish I could deck out my entire house with their decor and home accessories! These shops showcase the vibrant and diverse shopping scene in Cincinnati, making it a city worth exploring for any fashion or shopping enthusiast.
DINING
Cincinnati's dining scene also offers some incredible spots that can’t be missed. The Governor is a standout, often said to belong in Wicker Park, Chicago, due to its unreal and creative cuisine. My favorite dish here is the burger, which comes on a cake donut bun – a creation that’s truly one-of-a-kind. For a more relaxed setting, The Birch is a perfect local wine bar ideal for a casual date night at the bar or a lunch with a friend.
Another gem is Boards and Beez, a local spot specializing in charcuterie boards, handmade sandwiches, and hostess gifts. It's a great place to stop for a glass of wine, enjoy a small bite, or stock up for your next hosting event.
Cincinnati truly has something for everyone, whether you're looking to shop or dine. With its unique boutiques and amazing restaurants, the city offers a vibrant experience that's great for both locals and visitors.
