The Queen City apparently has so many Queens that it has not one but two Pride Festivals!  And I'm going to the one this weekend (overnight at Garfield Suites, near one my favorite downtown places, Piatt Park).

 

I've become a big fan of Northside, but not so much the gay side but the daytime side, places like Sidewinder and Shake-It and the Prairie Gallery.  This event will give me a reason to explore the place a bit more (like the Northside Tavern, Melt, and this obscure bar called "Mayday", which I've driven my many times but never knew was there. 

 

I probably will do more evening things downtown, closer to the hotel.

 

So looking forward to this quasi stay-cation in Cincy!  A city I can't seem to get enough of.

 

 

I will be down there photographing the event on assignment. Stop in the Tavern :)

Yep, I plan on checking out a few places I've not been yet & the NS Tavern is one.
