Haha … if she keeps this up, she’ll be Columbus’ next Cameron Mitchell before too much longer, though her restaurants are cut off a different block than CM’s. (I don’t think I’d see her opening a steakhouse … or CM opening anything like Surly Girl.)

f!5hl39 wrote another downtown would be nice too. I also concur the GV/BD would be nice. SN just isn't in need of anymore restaurants at this time.

I could use a new Lessner Joint in the KLD. 8)

Sweet. I can use it with my Golden Buckeye card that I should have by that time and get a sweet deal! :wink:

Business First wrote Restaurateur discussing 'green' eatery at Jeffrey Place development
by Doug Buchanan
Friday, January 11, 2008
Restaurateur Elizabeth Lessner is in talks with Jeffrey Place developer National Community Builders Inc. about opening a restaurant at the Columbus housing and commercial development. Details are sketchy, but Lessner and business partner Carmen Owens have an idea for what they'd like to do.
"We want something super-local, super-organic," Lessner said. "We'd like to have a roof-top garden and hanging planters around the restaurant."
The garden and planters would not be for decoration but for ingredients, with herbs and vegetables to be produced and consumed at the restaurant. Lessner said she's been working with community gardeners on the concept and thinks it could be a nice match for Jeffrey Place, which is incorporating solar panels and rainwater collection systems, among other green features, into the development.

I was at Tip Top at 11PM on a Friday night and it was packed. Just goes to show that if you give people a reason to go downtown, they will. We need more nearby for late night dining, bars, cafes, etc. It looks weird with just Tip Top and Due Amici, they're like an island of activity that needs to spread. Oh, and how could I forget The Shelf.

with the condos going in at the Salvation Army… more has to come. How is Claudaughs (sp.?) and the former Lotus (After Five I guess)?
