cruise bar at 326 E. 8th St.

On Fridays and Saturdays. lots of kids head for the Infinity, a disco some 40 miles north in Miamisburg, in an old Opera House at 15 S. 1st Street.

Under Construction at 428 Walnut and the Alley Cat at Lodge and Gano Alley are popular downtown bars with some hustlers and whatever. Just Friends is a preppy disco at 114 W. McMillan and Adam's Rib is a sexist, lesbian club at 217 Calhoun, where men are definitely not welcome. The Golden Lions is the oldest gay bar in town, and so is the group that gathers around their piano bar. All three are located near Clifton. Patches is so on again, off again, that I hesitate to list it. All bars in Cincinnati are open daily until 2:30

a.m.

Gordon's at 817 Broadway is the one bright new gay restaurant in town. I wish it my best. Some late night munchers like Rusconi's, opposite Stouffers. For straight dining, the Mobil Travel Guide is absolutely 'tops," but I think some reviewer got carried away in awarding so many 3 and 4-star restaurants in Cincinnati. Ture, Maisonette and Pigall's are fabulous.... but the Celestial, Chester's, Gourmet Room, Heritage, La Ronde and Mecklenburg Gardens. . . while OK, are vastly over-rated. Try La Normandie for steaks and Incahoots for super burgers. The Golden Lion in nearby Lebanon is the oldest Inn in Ohio, and a fun place for lunch. From what I've seen, the new Westin Hotel is great, but I'll still take Stouffer's Cincinnati Towers, within walking distance of most

bars.

Churchill

Winston once described Cincinnati as "the most beautiful inland city in America" and many visitors may agree. The City of Seven Hills" is definitely midwestern conservative. and I feel confident that when the noted American Poet Longfellow dubbed it

the "Queen City" that he had no ulterior motive. For sure, give it a try, and if the locals are right, once

a

you come to Cincinnati as stranger, but you'll come back many times as an old friend.
