We hope we've given you plenty of time to visit old haunts like Mecklenburg Gardens (still in business!), the Highland Coffee House, Sitwell's on Ludlow, Graeter's, Skyline, and maybe even your old dorm, fraternity or sorority house.
We plan to have a group visit the new Cincinnati Wing at the Art Museum on Saturday afternoon, and there is always plenty to do in Cincinnati on your own: the new Contemporary Arts Center, the fantastic Cincinnati Museum Center, the Newport Aquarium, the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Gardens, and the recently renovated Taft Museum. If you like to shop, there's Newport on the Levee, including a free view of what may be the prettiest skyline in North America, in addition to other malls such as Kenwood Towne Centre and Rookwood Commons.
Dress for the weekend is casual, so you can pack light and enjoy yourself. You may want a tie for the banquet but otherwise just plan to be comfortable!
