M. (hristine Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 Later today I will have the inside scoop for a good VC Summit point near the Aronoff. My son in law (native Cincinnatian and beer connoisseur) was mowing the lawn when I called for the lowdown this morning, and Bethanydear refused to go get him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

M. (hristine Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 Here's the first part of the transmission: "Ok, DH suggests Hoffbrau house on the Newport side (easy to seat lots of people without reservations, good beer and good german food) or Red Fish on the Cinci side. Good beer, nice atmosphere, tasty cajun style dishes, but not sure how available seating for big parties is. Also suggested Main Street Brewery on the Cinci side, but don't know much about the food." There is also a call in to another consultant right now. I don't know how close these are to the venue until I talk with B's DH. I'll keep you posted...I'm on the run.

M. (hristine Posted June 8, 2007 Author Share Posted June 8, 2007 Thanks Bryan! That is very near the Aronoff too. That might be the best place. Here is their website: http://www.rockbottom.com/RockBottomWeb/RB...ocationID=10062 Here are a couple of websites for two other restaurants near the Aronoff that are recommended. Because Bethany and family won't being going to the show but want to meet everyone, a kid friendly place is where we would prefer be for dinner at least. Both of these places are close to the venue, Redfish within a quarter mile and Hofbrauhaus within a mile. German food in southern Ohio is pretty fabulous and Hofbrauhaus also has a lovely view of the river. http://www.hofbrauhausnewport.com/http://www.redfishamerica.com/index2.html Also, this place is right across the street from the Aronoff:http://www.nicholsonspub.com/html/body_nicholson_s.html I'm up for any of these. I am leaving town on Sunday for the land of my birth and will only be intermittantly in communicado after that. Can't wait to see everyone! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Xanadu? Can't wait to see you and meet your crew! We might have the boys with us as well. Safe travels! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
M. (hristine Posted June 8, 2007 Author Share Posted June 8, 2007 Xanadu? Can't wait to see you and meet your crew! We might have the boys with us as well. Safe travels!So twice five miles of fertile groundWith walls and towers were girdled round :And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree ;And here were forests ancient as the hills,Enfolding sunny spots of greenery. Oh, it would be so fun to see the boys. Sooo excited! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My vote is for rock bottom or hofbrauhaus, but that's just because I do enjoy microbrews.....MChris, these are both okay for the youngsters? If not, redfish is quite alright with me as well.(I have nothing agains the Scots, it just seems the least appealing to me and their website is hard to navigate.)

M. (hristine Posted June 8, 2007 Author Share Posted June 8, 2007 Now Bethany says this is the place to meet up:Nicholson'sFrom the most dining savy of my Cincinnati people:"Jason's sister voted for Nicholoson's- said she has always had great food and service there, and they have ENORMOUS amounts of beer, lol. I think it'd be fine for the kiddos too, that early, just might need resi's if more than 6-8 people." And right across the street from the Aronoff. So, let's let everybody weigh in over the next few days and make a choice. My vote goes to Nicholson's or Rockbottom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
viatroy Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Im all for parking once, so anything across the street from the venue sounds good. But I'm easy and will defer to the masses. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foolnrain97 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I'm easySnicker. P.S. I have made something out of clay and you are the inspiration! It is not finished, but will be soon. I will keep you posted. I like the parking once thing too, so my vote has now changed to the same a MChris'. Rockbottom or Nicholson's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pocahontas Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Im all for parking once, so anything across the street from the venue sounds good. But I'm easy and will defer to the masses.I agree something close to the venue is a good idea. It would be nice to get parked once in Cincy and to walk the rest of the time.
