Over-the-Rhine (OTR) is a walkable historic district in Cincinnati, Ohio located just north of downtown. Established by German immigrants in the 1800s, it’s believed to contain the largest collection of 19th-century Italianate architecture in the U.S. Back then it buzzed with 17 breweries and hundreds of saloons; now it’s the center of the region’s independent food and retail scene, with dozens of locally owned restaurants, shops and drinkeries to try.
