Of course, if you are not a football fan or want more games to go to, then when not pick up a baseball game. With 81 home games, you are sure to find time to catch one.
Hotdogs and beer have long been associated with baseball, so you better come hungry. The nice thing about baseball is you can go on a Sunday morning, Tuesday night, or Friday afternoon. The time varies so much that you will find a time that works best for you. We would recommend taking a LYFT or UBER as the traffic is a mess when it gets out.

MAZUNTE MERCADO
Restaurant, Mexican
In 2010, Mazunte proprietor Josh Wamsley was looking for new Mexican places to get food like how he would have preferred to eat it.

From the tortillas to the assortment of sauces and new fixings, everything in the café is created with greatness. Longing for a sample of Mazunte at home? Wamsley has developed a Mercado right on the street at his commissary kitchen, selling arranged meats and the fixings utilized each day in the café.

SENATE BLUE ASH
Restaurant, Seafood, American
One of the best local restaurants is Senate Blue Ash. When the place was built, they took advantage of the extra space available to them in the suburban location. Conveniently located in Summit Park, this hotspot restaurant features a slightly different approach to its menu and one of the best Sunday brunches around. This space has a really cool vibe about it, has a wonderful patio space for people who like to sit outside, and is also very kid-friendly. The indulgence about this restaurant is simply worth the trip. Once done eating, you can walk off the inevitable food coma that is sure to follow by a stroll through the local park afterward.

TAGLIO
Pizza, Mediterranean, Restaurant
Taglio is a Detroit-style pizzeria for over a year and a half now, and their concept is starting to pay off. This buttery, crunchy crust pizza itself is the shining star here and there is no other pizza in town that comes close to Taglio. It’s so good, you really need no additional toppings. Of course, if you love the additional flavors, then I would go for ricotta, tomato, bacon, and crushed tomato sauce. With their recent building expansion next door, and the addition of a full bar, Taglio has arrived.
