Almost V’Gan Lounge (@avlounge513), an eatery for health-conscious consumers looking for more variety on the dining scene, recently celebrated its soft opening at 34 E. Court Street with a private ribbon cutting ceremony. Beginning at 2PM tomorrow, the restaurant will celebrate its grand opening – and everyone is invited. Located in Cincinnati Center City Development Corp. (3CDC)’s Court Street Condos project, the 2,200-square-foot space features a restaurant with bottle service on one side and an upscale bar and lounge on the other. Recognizing the lack of options for folks with alternative diets when dining out, owners Jarvis Shaw and Sean Reed decided to open AV Lounge to fill the void. The menu caters to a variety of lifestyles and tastes, offering a fusion of vegan & traditional cuisine, handcrafted cocktails, & signature drinks. For every traditional menu item, Almost V’Gan offers a similar vegan pairing. For instance, the menu includes jackfruit or pot roast tacos, grilled tofu or salmon sliders and grilled watermelon salad, among many other unique offerings. Shaw and Reed worked with City Studios Architecture and Triversity Construction on the design and buildout of the space, which features deep but vibrant colors, gold accents and wallpaper ceilings. The lounge-style atmosphere gives it a relaxing vibe that makes patrons want to sit back and stay awhile. AV Lounge will be open Thursday through Sunday, serving lunch and dinner Thursday through Saturday, as well as brunch on Sundays. The hours will vary daily, as listed below: • Thursday: 11AM – 10PM • Friday: 11AM – 12AM • Saturday: 12PM – 12AM • Sunday: 1PM – 10PM The kitchen will close at 9 PM, but the bar will remain open.

Leaders from the City of Cincinnati Hamilton County, Ohio, State of Ohio, 3CDC, Visit Cincy and several other project partners gathered this morning to commemorate the start of construction on the renovation of Cincinnati's convention center, the first step in the city's once-in-a-generation opportunity to revitalize the entire Convention District. The celebratory event took place at the corner of Fifth and Elm streets, with the existing convention center building as the backdrop. Project and government leaders spoke to the critical need for the convention center's renovation and the positive impact it will have on Cincinnati and the surrounding region. The event concluded with the ceremonious demolition of a section of granite at the building's entrance. The reimagined Convention District project will also include the development of Elm Street Plaza, a new two-acre outdoor space on the site of the former Millennium Hotel that will be used as an extension of the convention center, as well as programmable community space when not being used for conventions. The subsequent construction of a new 800-room, best-in-class convention headquarters hotel to support the travel and hospitality industries is another critical piece of the district's overall revitalization plan. Construction on the convention center began on July 1, with initial work focused on exterior façade demolition starting along Fifth Street. Renovation work will progress in stages toward a target completion date in late 2025. Elm Street Plaza's construction timeline will parallel the convention center renovation, with work beginning this summer and expected completion set for late next year. Construction on the new convention headquarters hotel is slated to begin in late 2024, kicking off a 2-year construction period To read the full press release, click the link here: https://lnkd.in/gFmfHdD2
