Newport on the Levee is the most popular attraction in Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky supported by research performed in 2006 by Northern Kentucky University's marketing department.  The Levee was also voted by Zagat as the #1 Shopping/Mall Attraction for Families in the United States in May 2004. 

Located just across the river from Cincinnati's dramatic skyline view, the Levee features a year-round schedule of festivals, special events, live bands and a great selection of restaurant offerings such as Brio Tuscan Grille, which offers beautiful patio dining and convenient access to valet parking.  The Levee's popularity has grown because of entertainment venues such as the Newport Aquarium; an exciting interactive game world at GameWorks; Shadowbox, a live sketch comedy and rock 'n roll club; nationally-renowned live comedians at Funny Bone Comedy Club; an AMC-Newport 20 movie theater featuring stadium-seating for more than 4,000 guests; and local and regional musical acts seven nights a week at Jefferson Hall. Newport on the Levee also features first-class retail venues including Barnes & Noble Booksellers, Tala's Distant Treasures, and Mango Arts.
