This past weekend, I embarked on an unforgettable journey through Ohio, starting with a delicious breakfast at Rudy’s Hot Dog in Toledo. Known for its classic diner vibes and legendary chili dogs, Rudy’s is the perfect spot to fuel up before a day of adventures.
I then headed to Gust Brother’s Pumpkin Farm, where the vibrant autumn hues of pumpkins and gourds filled carts. I strolled through the farm, took part in the corn maze and wandered through rows of pick-your-own flowers. After a fun-filled morning at the pumpkin farm, I made my way to Handel’s Ice Cream, a beloved local gem known for its rich and creamy flavors. With an impressive selection, I indulged in a scoop of the chocolate cake batter — my go-to every time. The perfect treat for a sunny fall day and with my sweet tooth satisfied, I continued my journey to Cincinnati.
After checking into our Airbnb, my boyfriend and I started to go through the list of recommendations from family members of where to eat. In the mood for tacos and margaritas, we settled on Bakersfield. We went all-in by ordering the short rib queso, esquites and quite a few tacos, pairing the meal with a pitcher of pineapple margarita. The ambiance was lively, the music was upbeat, and the food was nothing short of spectacular. I felt the excitement of the city as I savored every bite, solidifying Bakersfield as a must-visit spot in Cincinnati.
Saturday started off lazily, just as weekends should. I enjoyed brunch at Taste of Belgium, where the waffle Benedicts and burrito in a crepe offered a delightful twist on traditional breakfast fare. The combination of fluffy waffles topped with perfectly poached eggs and savory sauces left me craving more. After indulging, a much-needed nap beckoned, followed by a leisurely walk through the Over-the-Rhine area, where historic architecture and vibrant street art added to the city’s charm.
As night fell, I dressed up for an incredible steak dinner at Court Street. The ambiance was sophisticated yet welcoming, making it the perfect end to my Ohio weekend. Each bite of the perfectly cooked steak was heavenly, complemented by a selection of delectable sides. Reflecting on the weekend, I felt grateful for the delicious food, beautiful sights and wonderful memories created along the way. Ohio truly offers a delightful mix of flavors and experiences, making it a hidden gem worth exploring!
