Comments on: What do you want to see at Cincinnati’s Restaurant Row? http://winemedinemecincinnati.com/2010/05/what-do-you-want-to-see-at-cincinnatis-restaurant-row/ (in Cincinnati) Tue, 22 May 2012 12:31:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: julie http://winemedinemecincinnati.com/2010/05/what-do-you-want-to-see-at-cincinnatis-restaurant-row/comment-page-3/#comment-8722 julie Tue, 20 Jul 2010 19:17:18 +0000 http://winemedinemecincinnati.com/?p=2259#comment-8722 I don't mean to sound combative, but do you ever go downtown on the weekends or stay after work? It's actually pretty darn vibrant. Fountain Square on a Friday night, for example, with MPMF... or Saturday or Sunday night with movies and family events. Branch out from there and you can see people walking downtown-- right past Restaurant Row-- into the late hours.

Everything that has been down there is gone.......for a reason. Too expensive. The only 'life' downtown is during the day Monday-Friday. We, the people, who work down here everyday are tired of all the sandwhich shops (ie: Subway, Potbelly, JJ', Roly oly) and the restraurants offering $10 lunches. Who can afford those anymore ? How about wings ? I agree with Burger King, we have Wendys - HELLO, LaRosa's -- sit down w/lunch specials. Someone who offers combo offers etc. JGumbos rocks !! and a great addition to downtown......because they're different. I think everyone is missing the point here.

And they don't use any pre-made mixes, Rom even makes his own bitters. You should try The Rookwood, nary a fruity cocktail to be found.

Great, sidewalk dining. I ate at Sonsie when I was in Boston– it was fantastic, and yes– the opening up to the outside is a larger version of what Senate is doing. Great, sidewalk dining.

Philly is a secret gem of great places to eat/drink, back in the 80's it was dead, then I believe it was Stephen Starr that began what is now a foodie city. I think a variety in food, portions, and scene are important. I think a late night option other than shanghai mamas is a good idea, but not in this location. http://www.starr-restaurant.com/ (variety of concepts) http://grg-mgmt.com/ (more international variety) http://sonsieboston.com/flash/ (boston concept that would be great for ground level that opens up to outside) I believe places mentioned below could be a hit.
