Much ado in Downtown Columbus along High Street

 Columbus has a chic and vibrant 5-mile stretch along High Street in the heart of the city. That stretch now is being marketed as High Five in a promotional campaign being rolled out to tout its appeal to residents, visitors and businesses.

An interactive Web site, maps and brochures were unveiled by backers of High Five, which refers to 5 miles and five neighborhoods along High Street, from German Village to the University District.

Among the attractions of High Five: 150 restaurants and bars, 200 retailers, 40 art galleries and 50 entertainment venues, according to the High Five marketing material.

High Five not only should appeal to visitors but to companies looking to lease offices and build housing in the heart of the city, said Cleve Ricksecker, executive director of Downtown's Capital Crossroads Special Improvement District.

The proximity to amenities highlighted by the High Five campaign is "very appealing" to people, especially young professionals, looking for a place to live and work, Ricksecker said.

Fourth Street restaurant gets new owner

Fans of Club 185 and Rossi will be pleased to know that the owners recently acquired the Little Palace at 240 South Fourth Street only a few blocks away from Neighborhood Launch in downtown Columbus.

The new owners have stated they plan to keep the restaurant’s name and infamous neon sign touting “food” and “liquor.” The restaurant is expected to reopen within the month with cosmetic changes to the interior but an overhaul of its menu. 
 
The new owners plan to keep it comfortable, casual and a little upscale without being too pricey. Fare will include pizza, sales and sandwiches similar to the menus to Rossi & Club 185.
 
The Little Palace is another great amenity for downtown Columbus and one more reason to visit the Neighborhood Launch model to see what living in a downtown Columbus condo can be like. Tour the units in the new Contemporary Building located on the corner of Fifth and Gay streets.  These condos include both townhomes and garden flats with garage parking, patio terraces and lots of greenspace in a neighborhood setting. Think about living downtown next to world class restaurants with arts and entertainment that you can walk to every night, all year round.
