CiTiRAMA is to established in-city neigh-borhoods what HOMERAMA® is to those more suburban, semi-rural areas—a

collection of homes that showcase what is new and exciting for the urban dweller. Cincinnati’s bi-annual CiTiRAMA is at Witherby Meadows in College Hill, September 13-21.

CiTiRAMA Cincinnati-style is a bit more than these kinds of events have proven to be in other metro areas around the country, according to Dan Dressman, an official of the local Homebuilders Association. “This marks our 12th continuous event in partnership with the City of Cincinnati,” he said. “That’s the longest continuous streak by far of any city in the United States.”

CiTiRAMA in Cincinnati is held every two years, for the most part (back to back a few times since its inception), and has been a feature of the area since the mid 1990s. This years homes range in price from $239,000 - $289,000.

There is an attractive wild card for purchas-ers, dealt by the City of Cincinnati. The homebuy-ers receive a real estate tax abatement of 10, 12 or 15 years, depending on the home purchased. The land on which the home sits is taxed, but the improvement—the home value—is not taxed. This abatement can be as much as $78,000 in tax savings over the life of the arrangement, and it’s transferrable if the home is sold prior to expira-tion of the deal. The standard home receives a10-year abatement; a more easily accessible home obtains a 12-year deal; and a LEED energy-

environment designed home gains the 15-year tax break.

“There has been a resurgence in urban living all across the country in recent years,” Dressman stated. “Our event gives people the opportunity to experience or get an idea of new-home ownership in an urban setting. And the city has been very aggressive in creating tax incentives to get people to relocate in the city. It’s a program that works for everybody.”

A prime reason for visiting this years’ CiTiRAMA is to see what is new: new in home construction, new in appliances and systems sup-porting the home, new in decorating and colors in vogue. “Each CiTiRAMA helps us show prospective homebuyers what the latest features and trends are in the new homebuilding market,” said Dressman.

In addition, there is a more important goal shared by homebuilders and the City. “We want to reintroduce people to urban lifestyles. Sometimes neighborhoods may be in decline and an infu-sion of new homes can help elevate them. That happened with our first CiTiRAMA in the Betts-Longworth area,” he said. In other cases, the new homes simply give people a reason for looking at an area they would not have considered if the CiTiRAMA experience did not encourage them to take a look.

No matter what your reason for attending, this years’ CiTiRAMA is waiting to show you it’s stuff. Food, snacks and beverages will be available. See you there!

As a visitor to Greater Cincin-nati, you likely think the claim that “bigger is better”

is accurate when suites in hotels are the subject of discussion. At Garfield Suites Hotel, you will find bigger suites, according to Darren Schreiber, guest service manager for the property. The hotel is located at 2 Garfield Place, fronting Vine Street in Cincinnati’s downtown grid. The hotel also features Café Martin, where breakfast, lunch, dinner and room service are offered.

The suites at the Garfield hotel tend to be significantly larger, he said, because each suite was built on the order of a residential apartment rather than just a hotel suite. The cumulative result is more square footage and larger rooms, as well as larger kitchen and bath areas. “We get a lot of guests here who comment on the added space they enjoy in our suites, and that’s to be expected since they are a lot roomier than what you find in the average suites hotel,” Schreiber said.

Schreiber and his front-desk staff cater to business and leisure travelers alike, and guests range from singles to couples and families. The focus at the front desk is to help every type of guest fully enjoy the stay and the visit to Greater Cincinnati.

He said one of the most appreciated services offered at the front desk is the courtesy shuttle provided by Garfield Suites Hotel to help guests needing a lift. The shuttle takes guests to downtown grid locations such as Great American ballpark, Paul Brown Stadium, The Banks and Over-The-Rhine entertainment districts, Findlay Market and the Union Terminal Museum Center. “Everybody likes the courtesy shuttle,” is the word from the front desk.

Trying to anticipate guest needs is central to the job at the front desk. “If a guest comes to us

needing change for the hotel laundry, we’ll ask them if they need laundry soap and fabric softener sheets, and give them that as a courtesy,” he said. That kind of little extra may be why the Garfield Suites Hotel has been recipient of the Best Front Desk award offered by Cincy Magazine in area-wide competition.

Mostly, people come to the front desk wanting to know where to eat, according to Schreiber. Many more want good bar scenes, or places to take kids for special fun things to do, or good places to shop for special gifts.

“When we have information on places of in-terest that we can point out to guests, we do that, and they can make decisions based on that,” he said. “For us (at Garfield Suites), we are working to exceed guest expectations. If we do that, then they are going to be happy with us and with their visit.”

Who doesn’t know the Best-Kept-Secrets description used by travel gurus? As a Sep-tember visitor to Greater Cincinnati, you are

squarely in position to participate in a best-kept-secret of delicious and spectacular proportions.

This “secret” has a name: The Cincinnati Food & Wine Classic. The dates: September 12-13. The place: scattered, but primarily in downtown Cincinnati’s Wash-ington Park, a city-block-large and beautifully rustic spot in Over-the-Rhine. The focus: Cincinnati’s restaurant, bar and wine scene, long established and also burgeon-ing, yet under-appreciated for its quality and depth.

“Cincinnati dining has been a flyover zone for the most part; not much national recognition,” said Courtney Tsitouris, co-founder of City Stories Company, and organizer of the first annual Cincinnati Food & Wine Classic. “We created this event to highlight the food scene in our area and bring national attention to a culinary tradition that holds its’ own with cities known for fine dining.”

She’s alluding to The Big Apple, Chicago, LA, and other metros of prominence in the fork and knife department. The national buzz will be provided by the likes of Andrew Knowlton, eats critique for Bon Appétit magazine; Keith Pandolfi, Senior editor at Saveur maga-zine; and Francis Lam, a writer focused on the hospital-ity industry, and also a Top Chef Masters judge. Inviting these foodie heavyweights is designed to tip the scales toward greater national recognition for a restaurant and bar scene that features outstanding performers.

“You can absolutely compare Orchids at the Palm Court (in the Netherland Hilton Hotel at 4th & Race Streets) to Daniel in New York City,” Tsitouris contends. “Todd Kelly (Orchid’s chef) offers dishes that are the same caliber of food as Daniel, but at a much more approachable price. And Kelly is just one of many chefs doing equally creative, imaginative, delicious cuisines in this city.”

Friday Classic: Celebration of Pork, Porkopolis

Nearly 200 years ago, circa 1835, Cincinnati had developed into a destination for hogs, and pork on the hoof came streaming in from farms in all direc-tions for hundreds of miles round. So great was the influx of hogs to be slaughtered here that the city’s nickname became Porkopolis—hog capital of the world.

The Porkopolis heritage has been celebrated in Cincinnati lore for generations. Most notable may be the City’s Flying Pig Marathon, held annually and attracting thousands of runners the world over. Walk the City and you’ll come across the occasional “flying pig” statuary from past pig celebrations.

Hence, pork is on the menu for Day One of The Food & Wine Classic, to pay homage to Porkopo-lis. Friday’s Grand Tasting event will feature dishes using pork as the primary ingredient. Called Pork Chopped, selected chefs will go head-to-head com-peting for the best pork-inspired dish in the tasting tent in Washington Park.

Other Day-One events will include: Speakeasy in the City, where passwords get you in and everything from bathtub gin to boozy popsicles will be available; French Bohemian Rhapsody, at Jean-Robert’s Table, where a French cabaret dance party will break out; and Cocktails with a View from high atop 21c Museum Hotel, mingling with Chef Michael Paley and downing craft cocktails made by mixologist Catherine Manabat.

Saturday Classic: Best of the BestSaturday’s Grand Tasting will feature more than

40 chefs, craft brewers and vintners, participating in a tasting trail that will salute Cincinnati’s fine-dine (and drink) history. As an attendee, you will bite, sip and sample your way through the Washington Park tasting tent. The evening Grand Tasting will be fol-lowed by late-night parties, from the Sake & Sliders party at Kaze to a Retrosonic bash recalling themes of the 50s and 60s.

Before all that takes place, there will be plenty of activity in and around the tasting tent. Start with the Rising Stars Brunch at Zula in Over-the-Rhine, where sous chefs and chefs de cuisine will whip up a by-the-bite brunch. Throughout the day, the tasting tent will be the site of demonstrations on veggie charcuterie, perfect pie crusts, sweet and savory tastings with Paul and Pam Sturkey, Ohio’s bounty of seasonal produce, meat mastery, great craft cocktail making, a goetta smack-down with chefs competing for the best goetta dish, secrets in sauce-making with Jean-Robert, wines of Spain, inspired Italian dishes with the Food Network’s Vic Vegas, sommelier blind-tasting competition, hog and hooch dishes for tasting, a bourbon tasting and seminar with Molly Wellmann, a chocolate tasting with Summer Genetti, and fig fan-cies using figs in treats that go well beyond Newton.

Did you know that Window World is the largest remodeler and window replace-ment company in the world? That ac-

cording to John Oslica, head of the franchise here in the Greater Cincinnati area. When you choose Window World, be prepared to feel good about your purchase for many reasons.

Beyond the statistical fact of sales volume, there is much more to know about this U.S. Company, with more than 200 locations nationwide. First, the deal: Oslica promises the lowest price, guaranteed, and a warranty that includes glass breakage and labor for as long as you own the windows. Plus, the warranty is transferrable to a second owner, should you sell your home.

“Our windows are the best product at the best price with the best guarantee on the market,” Oslica said. “I don’t care whose product we go up against, ours is better. We’ll do heat tests and cold tests, whatever measure you want, and we’ll (Window World’s product) come out on top.”

As evidence of superiority in the window mar-ket, Oslica pointed to the Good Housekeeping® seal of approval, which Window World products have received for seven years in a row. Also, the company received the prestigious J.D. Power award for customer satisfaction the past two years run-ning. To his point, Oslica said any window maker can “buy” award status, but a company can only earn the two he touts.

So, good windows, doors, vinyl siding and gutters, but there is more. “We are about more than just selling windows and our other products.

It is critical to our company—both locally and nationally—to give back to the community. We are linked up with St. Jude’s Hospital (in Memphis, and for children), and we raise money through customers (sales), store owners and employees, and donate 100 percent of the money to St. Jude, with no administrative costs,” he said.

Also, using the corporate jet, the company participates in Veterans Airlift Command, a service that flies wounded U.S. veterans and their families across the country for free. “Our private corporate plane has flown the second-most missions of any corporation in the United States to help these service men and women get the care they need, without having to go through the TSA screening at airports.”

Locally, Window World is working with both the Epilepsy Foundation and the Aubrey Rose Founda-tion to raise money through sales and fundraisers. “We work hard at this, and within the company there is a deep commitment to help others that is as strong as the focus on bringing a good product to the market,” Oslica said.
