. So while it might not be quite top of most people's lists of places to visit in America just yet, Cincinnati is just about the perfect place to explore Stateside if you like discovering new breweries, sports, restaurants and galleries. Cincinnati, or Cincy as the area is affectionately known, is on the Ohio River with suburbs in Kentucky across the water and offers different experiences to enjoy, and many of its delights are walkable. The Ohio side houses the business district, with skyscrapers alongside the city's big sports stadiums and museums. Over on the Kentucky side you have towns such as Covington which have more of a hipster vibe, with the nearby Mainstrasse village an area perfect for bar hopping. If that isn't enough, there are also craft beer and bourbon tours and a must-see incredible neon-inspired museum which is perfect to make your friends jealous on Instagram. There are even unique foods to try including Goetta, a sausage loaf mixed with oats and spices and cut up in chunks, as well as the aforementioned chilli which is served with spaghetti instead of rice and the beef-based sauce has cinnamon, cloves and a dash of chocolate, rather than anything spicy. Order a '3-Way' and you will get chilli, spaghetti and cheese, a '4-Way' adds onions and a '5-Way' tacks on kidney beans. It is not fine cuisine – nor does it try to be – and it is perhaps best tried one evening after drinks instead of a pizza or a burger. Author and tour guide Rick){kind=link}

The local chilli may be on the mild side â but Cincinnati is heating up as a holiday destination. You can now fly direct to the Ohio city from Heathrow with British Airways, it’s home of the first professional baseball team in the US, it has more bourbon whiskey types than you can drink and of course its own unique chilli (more on that later).
