The John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge is an icon in the Cincinnati region. It's the prototype to New York's Brooklyn Bridge and has been dubbed "the singing bridge" due to the way car tires hum when driving across the bridge. Pedestrian lanes make it a picturesque way to get from Cincinnati to Northern Kentucky (and vice versa) on foot.

It's hard to resist a scoop of creamy French-pot ice cream with huge chunks of chocolate chips. Black Raspberry Chip is a favorite at Graeter's, but don't miss the chance to try their seasonal flavors, too.
