Things to do Tuesdays; Solo in the City with Tiff in the Morning

Hi I’m Tiff of Tiff in the Morning on Kiss 1071 (heard weekdays 6-10a on iHeartRadio)


I do a lot of things alone…As someone who lived solo in city of Cincy for 4 years I’ve got this down to a science. Join me for tips on how to enjoy experiences alone during various activities…


Tonight I went to a comedy show/dinner at OTR eatery at the DT Kroger. Its centrally located in the city and the atmosphere lends itself to causal conversation, good food, and… grocery shopping if needed.


*Bonus Tiff tip: grocery shopping is a great conversation starter.


For this type of setting my number one recommendation is to sit and chat with the bartender, it’s not groundbreaking, but it’s a great start. Bartender who are not busy are often open to chatting, sharing recommendations, and will often bridge the gap to other people solo in the bar.

Easy questions to start:

  • “What do you recommend on tap?”
  • “What’s a typical night here look like?”
  • “ What else happens at this place, that I might like?”

My second recommendation is; If you find common ground with someone, exchange Instagram handles. This eliminated having to exchanges numbers with someone who don’t really care about (yet.)


*Bonus Tiff tip: FOLLOW UP! That’s my secret sauce, if I meet you and we hit it off, I will reach out and
DM within a day or two. I never wait for someone to come to me, its nothing personal, but people get
caught in their busy schedules.

  1. My final recommendation is… just do it. You usually wont regret the experience, but it’s natural for your mind to talk you out of it… hell! Our body literally protects us from things that are uncomfortable.

*bonus Tiff tip: I usually tell myself “Stay for 30 mins Tiff, then you can decide.”


Everything Cincy has loads of things to get you started … she does all the research, so you don’t have too, then stop by Tiff in the Morning Tuesday 9:20 for tips of the week.

Celebrate Labor Day in NKY

By Jill Morenz

First off, we’d like to offer our gratitude to all the workers out there—THANK YOU! Your efforts are always cause for celebration, especially on Labor Day.

Northern Kentucky is cooking up a lot of fun for this weekend. We hope you can join us!

Fireworks

The tradition of Labor Day fireworks over the Ohio River began in 1977. Some of the best places to watch those beautiful explosions are in NKY.

  • Purple People Bridge: Be among the special folks who get primo views from the bridge. Tickets are still available for the Boom on the Bridge party and include live music, food and drinks and a parking pass. Learn more here.
  • Newport on the Levee: The Bridgeview Box Park will be rocking before, during and after the fireworks, along with the rest of this popular entertainment destination. Many of the Levee’s businesses are offering specials, along with live music and popup activations all day long. Check it out here.
  • BB Riverboats is welcoming passengers for a dinner cruise ending with fireworks viewed from the river. Book a spot here.
  • The new Covington Plaza runs along the murals painted on the floodwall near the foot of the Roebling Bridge. It has seating similar to the serpentine wall in Cincinnati and is a great place to watch the fireworks. See below for the BBQ Festival that will be there over the weekend.
  • Devou Park’s overlook in Covington and the Bellevue Beach Park are also excellent places to set up chairs and enjoy the view.

BBQ Festival

The Smoke on the River BBQ Festival is this weekend, from Friday through Sunday. A great lineup of live music will provide the soundtrack for the delicious menu options that include traditional barbeque, as well as unusual dishes like smoked brisket tacos, pork ‘n cheese and BBQ surf ‘n turf stuffed pretzels. Learn more here.

Comedy Show

The Brewery Comedy Tour brings top-notch comedians to Wooden Cask Brewing Co. in Newport, KY. You can decide which of their craft beers pairs well with hysterical laughter. Get the details here.

Symphony in the Parks

The Kentucky Symphony Orchestra is teaming up with the No Promises Vocal Band for two free shows around the theme “boy bands.” Sing along to nostalgic tunes from the Beach Boys, Temptations, NSYNC and more. On Saturday, they will be playing at the bandshell at Covington’s Devou Park and on Sunday they’ll be at Fort Thomas’ Tower Park. Get more info here.

Cute Caboose

Ludlow’s Train Viewing Platform has a new attraction—a decommissioned caboose that will be a permanent fixture there. Join the party to welcome the cute red newcomer, with live music, food and drinks, book signings and more. See the details here.
