We are a part of this city, a part of this community. Alongside our neighbors and friends, we’ve struggled through hard times and relish the celebrations. Sports and entertainment mean more now than they ever have. They bring us hope. They brighten our days and nights. They give us something to look forward to. And no matter the outcome, they give us hope for more to come.

 What builds the foundation for these celebrations are the places and the people you go to. Street City has striven to be that local spot where you can cheer on the team one day and enjoy and intimate date night the next. It is a convenient lunch spot during the week and a perfect gathering place for your friends to catch live local music or enjoy the perfect pre-theater meal before heading to a show.

 This month, Street City will be talking about the food that keeps you coming back for more. Each week, they will feature a favorite and share the story behind the dish. So stop by for your next lunch hour, happy hour, watch party or date night. And if you’re going to a show, they’ve got the best gourmet Pre-Theater meal that keeps you satisfied for the show and on time.

 Rely on Street City to match what is current to your life here in Cincinnati.

Just in case you might think that the global pandemic was slowing resort development, it would seem nobody’s stopping the luxury all-inclusive model. In early September, Hyatt Hotel Corporation acquired Apple Leisure Group, a leading luxury resort-management services, travel and hospitality group for 2.9  billion dollars adding over 100 resorts to their catalog! This acquisition has created a powerful force in the global travel industry. And it defines how this model kept the travel industry alive in the early days of the pandemic and what is driving it still today. New resorts such as Dreams Karibana Cartagena Columbia, Dreams Cozumel Cape Preferred and Secrets Moxche Playa del Carmen, are all opening in the upcoming months and all part of the Hyatt/ALG conglomerate. Many more to come! Why? Luxury all-inclusive Resorts in the Caribbean and Mexico are offering the safest and easiest travel experience.  

For now, all travelers entering the US will need to acquire a negative antigen test before boarding the plane. Sounds like a hassle, right? Wrong if you chose the right hotel!  The all-inclusive luxury properties are offering the test on property for your convenience. The concierge sets up your test a day before you depart, and you receive your negative result for you to present to the airlines. And even more important and impressive, if you would test positive, these resorts will offer complimentary stays for the 10-14 days of quarantine with meals delivered all at no cost!  

Luxury all-inclusive resorts are pulling out all the stops to provide a safe and healthy vacation environment. Boost your immune system with the vitamin D, fresh air, exercise, and positive energy! ENJOY!!
