What Cincinnati restaurant makes a great margarita? How will the big sports teams do this year? What issues should local government focus on? Nobody has more opinions on these and other pressing questions than Cincinnatians themselves. In our new column CityBeat Streets, CityBeat reporters are asking local residents about a different topic each week, highlighting the Queen City's good, bad and ugly.

“Music Hall is a nice place because of its age and it’s just got atmosphere. If there’s a performance going on, it's just a nice place to be, I think, and the park is right across the street – Washington Park. So those two together I think is a nice place to be downtown.”

“I'm biased because it’s where I got engaged, but Eden Park. Just the lookout at night and seeing the sky. [It’s romantic] but I’m 100% biased.”

“I think the most romantic spot in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky – my go-to is the overlook in Eden Park, I have friends who have proposed there. It’s just a nice date walk, nice view, and it’s nice for contemplation overall. ”

“I don’t do too much, [but] we go to The Precinct By Jeff Ruby sometimes. It’s a nice place to go – expensive, but it’s nice.”
