Meet Lydia, your SideKick for Cincinnati.
Lydia was born and raised in Cincinnati, and she loves this city and sharing it with anyone who visits.
Live music is where she shines. With a background in sound engineering, Lydia has worked behind the scenes at venues all over town, so she knows the details most people never hear about. She can tell you where to park, where to eat before the show, and which small venues just outside the city are worth the drive. Coming in for a concert? She’ll help you plan the whole night.
Lydia’s favorite thing to do is eat, especially at small, quirky, one-of-a-kind spots that most visitors would never find on their own. Today she’s an esthetician who owns her own studio, and she’s always swapping recommendations with her clients, so her list of hidden gems keeps growing.
She’s also a regular at the Cincinnati Zoo. Lydia goes almost every week, knows the baby animals by name, and has plenty of fun facts to share. When BLINK lights up the city, she’s the friend leading her own crew from installation to installation. And when you’re ready to get outside, she knows the best spots for hiking and camping too.
Whether you’re looking for a great show, a meal worth talking about, a zoo day, or a weekend outdoors, Lydia will point you in the right direction.
Coming to Cincinnati and want to experience the city like a local? Lydia’s your SideKick.
