Cincinnati Public Library/@cincylibrary

Reading ain’t hard when you have a library card, and who wouldn’t want to visit their local Cincinnati Public Library branch after seeing all the staff’s hilarious antics on TikTok? The library’s TikTok really blossomed last year after library customer adviser Kelwin Hester showed off his high kick, splits and cartwheel for a viral video featuring him collecting holds.

Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Gardens/@cincinnatizoo

The Cincinnati Zoo is just all-around well-regarded by both locals and visitors, but its social media really highlights all the work and love they put into the institution and its animals. Following its TikTok is a great way to keep up with all the happenings at the zoo and see all the adorable animals and their antics, especially the zoo babies.

@seanfogelson513 And you kno we eating out, prolly for a couple weeks too 😂😂 #fyp #funny #funnyvideos #taxes #loveyall ♬ original sound - That "One Mailman"

Sean Fogelson/@seanfogelson513

Cincinnati mail carrier Sean Fogelson has shot to fame over the last two years, his genuine nature and effortless humor earning him over 2 million followers on TikTok. Fogelson, a West Sider through and through who embodies the warm, hometown friendliness you find on that side of town, approaches his social media presence with an air of regularity and without predetermined lines. He doesn’t piggyback off of what’s trending; his hilarious commentary typically plays on relatable subjects like the glory of getting Tupperware for leftovers at a restaurant, ignoring a busted headlight or using a tax return to go to a nice dinner (somewhere “hood-nice,” he’ll declare, like Red Lobster.) And while he recently quit “mailmanning,” he explained in a recent video that he’s taking a chance on himself to pursue his comedy full-time.

We’re following along their journey for this new season, hopefully all the way to a Super Bowl win.

@mariathewild My best brunch recommendation 🥞🤘🏼 Goose & Elder (@gooseandelder) is a classic brunch, lunch, and dinner spot by the noteworthy Cincinnati chef, Jose Salazar (@chefjosesalazar). Located right across from Findlay Market on Race Street in Over the Rhine, it’s a beautiful location to meet up with friends, grab some food, then go explore the market and surrounding shops. 👉 My top tip when going there is NOT to miss out on their breakfast items! They have so many delicious dishes, oh my god. Here’s what we loved: - The Carlos breakfast scramble - Breakfast Sandwich with goetta - Speckled Goosecakes (peanut butter, chocolate, and banana pancakes) - Grain Bowl with falafel - Blistered Shishito Peppers as a side Send to some friends you want to go with! #cincinnati #cincy #cincyeats #cincinnatiohio #ohio #findlaymarket #otr #cincinnatibengals #overtherhine ♬ Whatever She Wants - Bryson Tiller
