Yelp! Cincy Packs a Picnic

Yelp Picnic Main textLast month, Yelp! Cincy showed us where to score chocolate-covered bacon, homemade ice cream and some dreamy, Willy Wonka confection called a Marshmallow Cloud.

This month, Yelp! Cincy is sharing the best places to pick up the best picnic lunch for your afternoon at the park (which, conveniently, you can also find at Yelp!). While we love PB&J as much as anyone, we’re not going to protest about “world-famous chicken salad,” fresh pasta salad or a fancified, Elvis-style, peanut butter and banana pita.

Is your tummy rumbling yet?

Without further ado, here’s Cindy!


Busy families have no fear, your next perfect picnic is near! With spring in full swing, we thought why not compile the best local businesses that will pack that perfect picnic for you!

Yelp Tip: Don’t miss grabbing a pint of Jeni’s ice cream on your way out. Carl’s is one of the few shops in the area that carry it. (Cincinnati Parent Tip: Try the Salted Carmel. It will change your world!)
