The vendors have some amazing jewelry, crafts, art and just general goods. I know I can always pick up unique jewelry and gifts when I head to the City Flea. The food trucks are also a major plus after you've been shopping around for a while. The City Flea really has something for everyone, even if you just grab some amazingly delicious food.

We had a beautiful morning to check out City Flea for the first time! We picked up a cold brew and…read morefresh donuts then people watched as we waited for our family to arrive. Everyone we encountered from attendees to vendors were all friendly and laid back. There were plenty of cool flea market clothing finds but we were mostly attracted to the art, much of which had Cincinnati themes. Our daughter and her boyfriend just moved into a new place, and they got a few pieces of unique art, including a Findlay Market painting, to hang on their walls. Washington Park was well maintained and clean. There were lots of park benches and the shade from the big trees added to the ambiance. The flea market was a great way to spend an hour or so.

You can find a lot of local sports team merch here too. I picked up a couple of magnets and a WKRP sticker. For those not in the know, WKRP used to be an old sitcom from the late 70's-80's about a radio station in Cincinnati. The shop is located on the 2nd floor of the historic art deco style Carew Tower. This tower is also home to the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland. The interior although grand was sparsely occupied by businesses. Ghost town vibes for sure however the grand architecture within the building is worth walking around in. The only difficulty we had was finding parking. This shop is in the downtown area and parking spaces are hard to come by. My husband ended up driving around and picked me up when I finished shopping.

These are not your everyday sneakers! There are so many designs you won't find anywhere else. I have now been back to the Unheardof store multiply times. Each time finding more cool shoes and some very unique shirts as well. The customer service is always excellent! What also makes me recommend the store is the reasonable pricing. Quality high end items at prices that one can afford.

After discovering and following Unheardof on Instagram and often seeing shoes and sometimes…read moreclothing I liked, I finally stopped into the shop. Now I wish I had known about them years ago! But that probably would have cost me a lot of money over the years. A specific pair of shoes brought me in and even though they didn't fit the way I liked I quickly found another pair. I ended up purchasing a nice pair of brown leather Nikes. The selection of shoes consists of skater and hip hop style sneakers from brands like Vans, Nike, and Adidas. They appear to carry limited edition styles from all the brands. Before I left the store I looked around at some of the clothing. There were t-shirts, hoodies, jogger pants, and jackets that followed in the same athleisure style as the shoes. There was even a small discount section in back where I found an awesome Alpha Industries flight jacket for half off. As soon as I tried it on I knew that I couldn't live without it. They carry both men's and women's merchandise, however, the selection for men is noticeably larger. The women's selection is similar to men's in both brands and styles. Unheardof also has it's own brand of clothing. I noticed that one section of the wall was covered in skateboards so I assume those were for sale as well. The store is clean with a hip boutique feel and lots of colors and open space that feels welcoming and makes it easy to shop. The employee that helped me was nice, helpful, and polite. I had a great experience and will definitely be back.

One of the best things about this place is simply walking around and letting the inspiration come to you! I ended up buying three random trophy stands for sculptures I'm working on, and all three together were only 15 cents! The prices are amazing. You're welcome to donate while checking out, and you can also pay what you feel is fair based on your budget and what you think the item is worth. They do provide a suggested price when you check out, so it doesn't feel like an uncomfortable haggling situation. Whether you're looking for supplies for a craft night with friends, working on your own projects, or just want to browse and get inspired, this is a great place to visit. They also have a small selection of newer items from local artists, including artwork, prints, and jewelry available for purchase. You truly never know what you might find here!

I took a friend with me and she also found something she liked. Prices are extremely reasonable. This is a shop that sells donated craft supplies and art supplies. Some items are partially used, some partially done projects, and new items still in the package it came in. I come to the Covington area once a year with an art group for a retreat and we always seek out places like this in our free time. If you are looking for great prices and some unique items then give this place a look through!

They have attire for all occasions, from workout and lounge gear to a night out! Anytime I wear The Native One, I receive endless compliments! The Native One has any piece of clothing I would need. And lucky enough for my bank account, it is such an amazing price point! I have found that similarly styled boutiques are often 3x that than the price of The Native One. I was so happy when they opened expanded their online site to a storefront.. its so adorable!
