Newport

Newport is a Cincinnati suburb with quite a bit going on. Of course, with its super close location to Cincinnati, there are plenty of places to eat, good recreational opportunities and tons of people, so you'll never be bored. I'm a huge fan.

Let's start with the places to eat. Newport has quite a few good restaurants, and you're only a stone's throw away from more places in Cincinnati, so you're never go hungry! Dixie Chili and York Street Cafe are favorites of mine, but Mitchell's Fish Market is also really really cool. You can have some great seafood while looking out over the Ohio River. Very cool indeed.

There are also quite a few good schools in Newport, so that makes it great for families. You can find plenty of good private schools, and the public schools are, as a whole, pretty good. Being so close to Cincinnati allows you to put your kids in a number of different schools (as long as you're willing to pay for it of course). Not bad.

One of the cooler things about Newport is all the tourist attractions. Newport Aquarium is a very cool place to visit, it's right nearby (it actually might technically be in Cincinnati, but it's still close. You can actually pet a shark there, and there's a ton to learn and see. Very cool. I think for kids it's a real wonderland, but even adults can find a lot to do and see at the Newport Aquarium.

Newport on the Levee is also a favorite place of mine to visit in Newport, as I've had quite a few good days at the Newport on the Levee, watching movies and taking in an art gallery or showcase. It definitely adds to the town.

I could easily go on all day about how awesome Newport is, but I'll just end by saying I really like visiting here and would highly recommend you at least visit, if not choose to live here yourself!
