Get out and head to Yellow Springs, a cool lil hippy town in the country. There are cute cafes, restaurants, shops. Visit and eat at the Historic Clifton Mill. Grab a slice at Haha Pizza. Go to Young's Dairy for ice cream. Take a walk or run around John Bryan State Park which is beautiful and I bet the woods are popping off right now.
If you don't have access to a car, I'm sure there's some cool stuff around Dayton University. Also the Oregon District is popular.

Go to nostalgia for vintage!
Amys place (right next to nostalgia) for the best breakfast ever
Federal Hill for: dessert at pastiche, Italian markets, and dancing in the square (I think dancing is weekend nights in the summer)
East side pockets on Thayer street- cheap and always great. Walk around Thayer and browns campus afterwards.
Prospect park- lovely picnic spot and overlooks the city
the atheaneum- the most beautiful library I’ve ever been to. I think it’s $5 to enter now, but worth it!
Risd art museum- small but cool
Pizza Marvin!
The eddy for drinks
Aleppo sweets for baklava & cool bookstore next door

food recs include grand pied for breakfast, balkan treat box for lunch (has been listed as one of the best restaurants in the country), tamm ave bar/nomad for burger + beer, and milagro azteca for casual mexican food/margs. sado or lucky accomplice are good for a nicer dinner. bars include venice cafe (drinks are meh tbh but vibes are great), the vandy, or golden hoosier. if you're into beer, side project in maplewood has some crazy stuff and there are some cute local shops on the same strip. clementine's is maybe the best ice cream ever and if you go you have to get their gooey butter cake flavor
i second the zoo/art museum recs, followed by a walk in forest park. city museum is also fun, or the botanical garden. tower grove or soulard farmers market are a nice weekend activity

a study issued last month found that dancing is the most effective way of treating and mitigating depression. Walking, therapy, and yoga also outpaced SSRIs. and if you're saying 'oh this was probably funded by Big Dance', there's no evidence of that and if you're saying 'that's just what a Big Dance shill would say', well honey you're right
