1628 Ltd.

Café at the CAC
Aim for the off hours, stake out a table or bar seat, and get some sustenance. Main perks: Refresh your brain with a wander through the exhibitions (now free!) or a stop in the Contemplation Room (no, we’re not talking about the bathroom).

640 Main St., (513) 381-3752
Riverfront Parks
If the internet is distracting you, then get away from the internet. Take your laptop or—gasp—print things out and snag a giant swing at Smale or spread out on the Serpentine Wall. Your phone is a hotspot and a constant internet connection. You shall survive—and focus.
