Dear Visitor:

On behalf of the citizens of Cincinnati, I am honored to invite you to our great city.

Cincinnati has invested billions of dollars in recent downtown and riv-erfront development, including the historic Over-the-Rhine neighborhood, The Banks riverfront entertainment district and more than a dozen new or renovated downtown hotel properties. The revitalization and development in downtown Cincinnati is garnering nationwide attention.

In addition, Cincinnati’s accessibility, affordability and modern hotel and meeting facilities create an ideal destination for conven-tions and events.

Key Magazine Cincinnati is a great resource for learning about the many attractions we have to offer. With world-class museums and theaters, one of the top five zoos in the nation, tour-ing Broadway productions, incredible architec-ture, and an array of festivals throughout the year, Cincinnati has something for everyone to enjoy.

Cincinnati will soon play host to the 2015 Major League Baseball All-Star Game, adding to the list of high-profile, large events that have called our city home.

Every 63 years or so, a new barbecue sauce comes along that’s worthy of the Montgomery Inn pedigree. That

newcomer is Chipotle Barbecue Sauce from Montgomery Inn, a spicier version of the original taste profile—which has been licked off the ends of millions of fingers since 1951.

For visitors to Greater Cincinnati who may not know, Montgomery Inn is THE place for BBQ ribs in these parts. In fact, people the likes of Bob Hope, America’s internationally known comedian, was so fond of ribs from Montgom-ery Inn, he made free TV commercials for the ribs, promoting them far and wide. No surprise that celebrities, dignitaries, sports figures and even presidents of the United States have made Montgomery Inn a must-visit in order to enjoy the famous ribs whenever they came to town.

So now, a new sauce has been “invented” by the Montgomery Inn family, and the chipotle version spices up everything. The original sauce was the personal creation of Matula Gregory, matriarch of Montgomery Inn’s fantastic success. Husband Ted, later known as The Ribs King, ran a bar back in 1951, and asked his wife to cook up some ribs for him and a few of his buddies one night. That’s how things started—everybody loved them, and that sauce! “That sauce is great!” was the consensus of all who tried it.

In the family tradition born of that time and place, Tom Gregory, son of Matula and Ted, cre-ated the new version in the kitchens of Montgom-ery Inn. He did it the hard way, through trial and error, using only quality, natural ingredients. The

new sauce is billed as a perfect marriage of the original’s sweet and spicy flavor, combined with the warm heat of smoked jalapeno peppers.

“We’re always listening to our patrons,” said Montgomery Inn VP Evan Andrews, “They’ve told us they’d like a spicier option. So we put a lot of care into the new sauce. In staying true to our val-ues, this new sauce contains no artificial flavors and the first ingredient is tomatoes, not water or corn syrup. Just like the original.”

You can enjoy the new chipotle sauce at any of the Montgomery Inn locations, on ribs, chicken and more. Also, the sauce is bottled for purchase and use at home. Ask at the restaurant, or find Montgomery Inn sauces in regional Kroger and Remke markets. The sauce is available for shipment worldwide at www.cincyfavorites.com. And lest you might wonder who would do that, in 2013, Montgomery Inn sauce was recognized as one of the top mail order items ever, topping 30 million bottles shipped worldwide.

About Montgomery Inn: Famous for ribs, the first Montgomery Inn opened in 1951, and has since grown to include locations in downtown Cincinnati, Fort Mitchell, KY, Dublin, OH, and the original in Montgomery, OH. It has been named one of the top 10 BBQ restaurants in the United States. A long list of celebs have stopped in over the years, including Eric Clapton, Bill Cosby, Tommy LaSorda, James Brown, Britney Spears, Cameron Diaz, Andre Agassi, and every U.S. presi-dent since Gerald Ford.

Travelers should know the score, because it makes for better, more comfortable experiences on the road. The scorecard

for Residence Inn Cincinnati Downtown positions it in first place among all other Residence Inns in the Marriott chain. There are 652 of them, so the status of numero uno in customer satisfaction is a big deal.

There is another laurel, just in case the number-one ranking inside the Marriott chain might not be enough. This same Residence Inn was ranked by Trip Advisor at number 19 in customer satisfaction among 85,000 lodging properties nationwide in 2013. Imagine that: right here in River City!

“We take very good care of our guests, and we try to make absolutely sure that no guest ever leaves this hotel feeling less than fully satisfied,” said Jason Druso, general manager. “We want ev-eryone who stays with us to feel at home and know that we care about their comfort and satisfaction.”

Druso states that the hotel has some outstand-ing amenities. Housed in the historic Phelps Building, this Residence Inn is a downtown property, on the fringe of the hustle and bustle of the downtown grid. The entrance overlooks a park and walking/jogging trails are nearby. Few lodging properties anywhere have that going for them, much less a city-based one.

Another advantage is that the property is a suite hotel in Cincinnati’s downtown, so many of the hotel’s guests are longer stay. That means there are more business guests staying at the property,

many of whom are repeat custom-ers. Suites are 30 percent larger than at most suite hotels in the area, and feature kitchens. Vacationers and baseball fans (and football fans later in the year) also make up a sizeable portion of the guest list at this Residence Inn, because it is convenient to Great American Ballpark, US Bank arena, the Taft Museum of Art, the Serpentine Wall on the Ohio River, and to the Banks entertainment area of the city.

This particular Residence Inn also has an expanded restaurant service, offering a compli-mentary breakfast to guests, and having an evening menu for those who want to eat at the hotel. There is a lounge area adjacent to the restaurant where guests can socialize.

In addition, the hotel features a rooftop bar called Top of the Park. The bar is a focus for pri-vate parties and business meetings, as well as be-ing open to the public Tuesday through Saturday, when not booked for private events. The Top of the Park offers panoramic views of Mount Adams and the Ohio River and Kentucky shoreline.

Ever been in a true Italian restaurant in Philly or the Big Apple? It’s a special experience, no question. Just such an

experience awaits you at Pompilios, here in Newport, Kentucky (a few minutes from Fountain Square). There’s a very special bonus, too, besides, because the toothpick scene in the movie Rainman, with Dustin Hoffman, was filmed in the bar at Pompilios.

Pompilios features that bar, Colonel Pomp’s Tavern, at the front, a bocci bar out back (com-plete with bocci-ball court), and an Italian “red-sauce” restaurant in between.

Let’s go to the tavern first, just for drinks if you want. It’s a great destination hot spot for satisfying a thirst. For starters, you will see one of the very best tied-house back bars in the Midwest, built the year FDR entered the Whitehouse—1933, when Pompilios opened for business. Colonel Pomp’s Tavern features period photos of the 1930s, but the bar area itself is that old, so you’ll step back in

time. Also, the scene from Rainman was filmed in that very place, for an even richer taste of history. Colonel Pomp’s features a good number of Greater Cincinnati’s very best craft beers on tap, which visitors love to try.

Hit the tavern on a Thursday or Friday in June, and you’ll be treated to live music from an assort-ment of talents featuring boogie woogie, acoustic Americana rock, jazz, blues and more.

Our suggestion at Key magazine is go there and experience Colonel Pomp’s as a great hot spot, but get yourself a table inside or out at the bocci bar, and have a meal too, lunch or dinner. We mentioned red sauce because Pompilios features some of the best red-sauce dishes in an area with a lot of very good Italian eateries. Pompilios has a slew of Taste of Cincinnati winners on their menu, so ask your server about the blue ribbon dishes. Also, the place has been voted into the Italian Restaurant Hall of Fame.

Visitors looking for good, simple meals at very friendly prices will find all that at Riverfront Pizza. Nothing fancy, mind you,

but one of those places where “locals go to eat.” “We’ve been here for 31 years, and the way we

go about it hasn’t changed,” says Randy Geard-ing, owner. “Do the food part right, keep prices low, and give people what they want. That brings people in, and I like a full house.”

Notice from the size of the burger and hoagie in the photo that there is no skimping on portions at Riverfront Pizza. With fast-food bigwigs less than a football field away selling their burgers, Gearding did not think a burger would sell at his place. But oh well, he decided to add burgers to the menu, and even he cannot believe how many he sells, especially while in the veritable shadow of the Fast-food Giants.

What does that tell you? To us at Key magazine, it says better food, more of it, and at a very attrac-tive price. And the burgers at Riverfront Pizza

are hand crafted and actually look appetizing, instead of looking like they were thrown together assembly-line fashion by someone who is double-parked.

Same goes for the hoagie sandwiches. Hoagies give pizzas a run for top billing at Riverfront Pizza, even though pizza has always been the anchor. “People like the hoagies because they make a great sandwich—a meal really, and we make them fresh when you order them,” Gearding said. So that means your sandwich is not pre-made and sitting under a warming lamp, waiting for you or someone else to come along.

The hoagie list is 12 deep, and favorites include: a steak, with pizza or mushroom sauce, onions and cheese; a 4-way, with deli meats, pizza sauce and cheese melted on top; meatballs, halved, with sauce, pickles and cheese; roast beef, kitted out with mushroom sauce and cheese, or lettuce tomato and mayo; a tuna salad and chicken salad version.
