The food at long fellows is really good! Im really ecstatic about the progress Court street is making. It feels like, slowly but surely, its becoming the entertainment district that it always had the potential of becoming. Between the Banks, the Fountain Square area, Court Street, Vine Street in OTR, Main street in OTR and Findlay/Brewery district I wonder how many entertainment districts we have that aren't cohesively planned at all. Does 3CDC have a published masterplan of how all their target areas tie into and play off one another? I'm not trying to concern-troll, because ultimately I think the answer is that Vine street from Smale to Findlay/Brewery district connects all of them as a pedestrian (especially if 3CDC bridges the current gap at John Robert's table and the Garfield Suites) and the streetcar connects all of them as well. I just worry about programming them all with different enough establishments so that its something like Banks=sports/entertainment, Vine=Shopping/Dining, Findlay=foodies/beer, Main=bars/clubs/music, etc. I just don't know what Court street is yet, but I hope it becomes the more affordable, more fast/casual, and maybe more 'essential to urban living' focused hub for downtown residential since it's already anchored by the downtown Kroger and Woods Hardware a block away. I really hope that all the current momentum on the area will lead to the Garfield redevelopment finally happening, the lot south of Kroger getting a big residential project and some residential infill on Court west of Vine as well.
September 8, 20213 yr I was always under the impression that 3cdc was starting off with south of Liberty otr and then the plan was to ease there way south to court street/cbd… and create one large entertainment district that blends together from all the way to north of Liberty down down through vine street south of Liberty otr, cut through court street and head all the way down to the river. I think at some point, you will be able to walk through north of Liberty and down south through vine street and everything will be revitalized with shops, restaurants, small businesses and new infill/converted residential. I don’t think the plan is to have each area be a separate entertainment district island but one massive urban area where you can walk freely - north or south, east or west and will be confronted with revitalization in the form of businesses and residential.

Mount Lookout Square restaurant closed amid lawsuit over videotaped sex Mount Lookout Square's Cibo Vino Wine Bar & Cucina has closed after less than a year in business, and its owners face multiple lawsuits. The majority owner of Cibo Vino, John Cioffi III, is suing his former business partner and chef, Chris Baulo, and his wife, Lindsay Baulo, alleging that Chris Baulo misappropriated the restaurant's assets. Cioffi also claims he was defamed by the couple when they allegedly shared video of what Cioffi called a consensual sexual encounter in the restaurant, which resulted in the landlord banning Cioffi from the premises. That landlord, French Edmiston Inc., was also named as a defendant in the lawsuit, which was filed in May in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court. Additionally, Two Muses LLC, the previous tenant of the Delta Avenue space, is suing both Cioffi and Chris Baulo for $89,341 for restaurant equipment sold to the owners of Cibo Vino, who have allegedly failed to pay in full. Cioffi did not respond to a request for comment. Attorneys listed for the Baulos in court documents also did not respond.
