It’s a new year, Cincinnati! The beginning of a new calendar gives us a blank slate of opportunities to plan out the upcoming months, and that’s always an exciting feeling in January. Many people make plans or set goals for the new year, and when you do that for 2019, don’t forget about the things you want to do and try around the city. If you need help getting that list started, check out our picks for nine things you must do in Cincinnati in 2019.
Kick off 2019 with some outdoor fun at the largest outdoor rink in our area. This year, Newport on the Levee has a massive new rink that's open through President's Day in February, and you can take advantage of the other fun activities on the Levee while you're there.

A few weeks ago, we suggested catching a ride on the SkyStar Wheel before the year ended, as it was slated to leave at the beginning of December. If you didn't get a chance, you're in luck, because it's now sticking around until June 16th! And who knows... maybe even longer than that!
