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 river-front development, including the historic Over-the-Rhine neighbor-hood and The Banks entertainment district.

Summer is an especially great time to visit our city. Cincinnati is host to several music events including Bunbury and the Cincinnati Music Festi-val, representing a wide diversity of musical styles.

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, touring Broadway productions, incredible architecture, and an array of festivals throughout the year, Cincinnati has something for everyone to enjoy.

Cincinnati will play host to the 2015 Major League Baseball All-Star Game in July, adding to the list of high-profile, large events that have called our city home. We are honored to welcome thousands of convention visitors to our city each year, and know that your decision to visit the Queen City will not leave you disappointed.

I am confident you will enjoy your stay in Cincinnati. Please enjoy our hospitality, sample our many amenities and have a wonderful time. We are glad you’re here!

If you aren’t familiar yet with Ultimate Air Shuttle, then let your summer travels to Chicago, New York or Charlotte be the perfect time to learn

more about this amazing Cincinnati-based travel experience.

Ultimate Air Shuttle is Cincinnati’s VIP travel experience, offering daily shuttles out of CVG and Lunken Airport to New York City, Chicago and Char-lotte, North Carolina. They service these areas with their own 30-seat jets, and all key amenities are in-cluded: drinks (both non-alcoholic and alcoholic), snacks, and best of all, baggage. With their flat rate (taxes included), what you pay for your ticket is all you will pay. There is free parking available at CVG and Lunken, and free transportation is available between Lunken and CVG.

Not only can passengers enjoy a private flying experience at everyday prices, they can also kick back with some delicious snacks while in the air. In the morning, “lite” offerings include fruit, breakfast bars, a variety of yogurts and some wonderful, lo-

cally made pastries. Pastries on the CVG flights are provided by Graeters, and Lunken flight passengers can savor treats from The Cookie Jar (Newport, KY). Evening flights boast a “lite” snack tray with cheeses, meats, grapes and crackers, all supplied by Kroger and made fresh daily for your flight. There are a wide variety of soft drink choices, and as always, the top-shelf liquor is free of charge.

This summer, Ultimate Air Shuttle is excited to bring back the popular Weekend Getaway BOGO (buy one ticket, get one free) promotion. “Last year’s BOGO promotion was such a huge success that our passengers have been waiting patiently for it to return,” said Noel Ripley, Business Develop-ment Manager for UAS. This offer is available from May 1st to September 14th; at CVG you can take advantage of it for Thursday to Monday travel, and at Lunken for Friday to Monday travel. Just log onto their website, www.UltimateAirShuttle.com, to learn more and book your trip today.

Time to pack up the coats and boots and get out the flip flops and shorts...do you have the body you want this summer?

At Kurtzman Plastic Surgery, it’s never too soon to start getting in shape for summer. It’s the most popular time of year for enhancements; for women, the most popular procedure is breast augmentation, followed by liposuction and tummy tucks. Men lean mostly towards liposuction (for that spare tire) and eye work to remove that “tired” look so many of us have. If you’ve been considering breast augmentation, now’s the best time: Dr. Kurtzman is offering a $1000 off special on the procedure - all you need to do is book by the end of May!

There are other options for looking healthy and well-rested this summer. Micro-Needling is a popular new procedure in which tiny needles pulse all over the face, stimulating collagen and restoring a youthful appearance; it’s performed 3 times over a 3 month period. There are also the injectable face fillers, such as Botox, Juvederm and Sculptra; Dr. Kurtzman is a national trainer for these procedures, and other fillers, so you will be in the best of hands with a doctor who has your safety and best interests in mind.

Dr. Lawrence Kurtzman has been a board-certified plastic surgeon for over 20 years, and as a solo practitioner he is available to his patients 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Whether your procedure is done in his office or in a surgery center, your experience will be both pleasant and personal in a comfortable, positive environment.

Make this the summer that you have the body you’ve always dreamed of - schedule an appoint-ment with Kurtzman Plastic Surgery and become the best you can be.

The Symphony Hotel welcomes you to Cincin-nati, Ohio. Whether you are visiting from out of town, or want an in-town getaway

and want to treat yourself to a five-course gourmet dinner any Friday or Saturday night, the ambiance can’t be beat! The Symphony Hotel is a great place to find classical comfort, cozy surroundings, great bar scene, and wonderful, live music.

The Symphony Hotel’s main building was constructed in 1871, seven years before the comple-tion of Cincinnati’s Music Hall. It was designed by a famous architect, James McLaughlin, who also de-signed the original McAlpin’s, Shillito’s, a wing of the Art Museum, Cincinnati Gas-Light & Coke Company, and the Cincinnati Public Library.

The Symphony Hotel is located just across from Cincinnati Music Hall, in OTR. It’s the ideal location to enjoy a classical romantic getaway, eat an exquisite dinner, and experience the Opera, May Festival, the Cincinnati Symphony, or the Pops Orchestra. Come back, stay overnight and wake up to the aroma of a gourmet breakfast.

The Symphony Hotel is award winning…. and was originally an old mansion. The building was

restored into a boutique hotel where the rooms are named after famous composers: Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Rachmaninoff, Schubert, Beech, Brahms, Mahler, and Copland.

What a gem right here in the Queen City……Cincinnati’s Premiere Boutique Hotel…come expe-rience the wonder of The Symphony Hotel.

Cactus Pear is Cincinnati’s premier Southwestern Bistro, offering the best food with the most exciting flavors, from

both sides of the border, since 1992. They pride themselves on using only the freshest ingredients, and strive to prepare menu items in ways that just can’t be found anywhere else.

Cactus Pear offers standard items like tacos, fajitas, nachos, enchiladas and burritos, but also add in selections not often found at southwest-ern restaurants, like wraps and burgers, noodle dishes and seafood offerings. There are some unexpected sandwiches, too, like the spicy shrimp po boy, the Tex Mett and the Aztec Tofu. For a little something different, try the beef enchiladas served on blue corn tortillas, and if you are a fan of kale they’ve got a delicious kale and mushroom enchilada that will delight your taste buds. The chefs are happy to accommodate dietary restric-tions or recreate a meal vegetarian or vegan, so don’t be afraid to ask.

There are plenty of small plates and salads to enjoy, as well as lighter fare, like quesadillas and soups. Plus, you can end your meal with some flan, key lime pie or a fried ice cream sundae!

Cactus Pear is located in Clifton, and is open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner. Weekly happy hours include Margarita Mondays, Brewdays Tuesdays, Wine Wednesdays and Thirsty Thurs-days, and reservations are available. Drop by Cactus Pear for a southwestern dining experience like no other.
