Cover Story

Devon & Leah Still fistbump for cancer defeat

T

urn to the Inspiration Department and you will be hard pressed to find anybody more inspiring than the tandem of little Leah Still and her super-sized dad, Devon.

Leah, many know, is the diminutive darling attempting to win the fight against cancer, specifically 4th stage neuroblastoma. She’s undergone chemotherapy and surgery to shrink and remove the cancer, respectively, and is in stasis as more chemo and stem cell therapy go forward.

The father of this smiling, positive, 4-year-old, is Devon Still. He played collegiately at Penn State, and was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals with the 53rd overall pick in 2012. He is a defensive tackle, and anything but diminutive, at 6-foot 5-inches, 310 pounds.

Leah’s cancer was discovered June 2 this year, after she complained of pain in her hip during a dance recital. That diagnosis changed everything. The prognosis was 50-50 that Leah would survive. Dad Devon had to explain all this to his daughter. And he had to rally her to face the disease and “do whatever she could to beat it.”

“She’s a fighter,” Still said, and he added that as a parent you expect your child to look up to you. In Leah’s case, the dad found himself looking up to his tiny daughter, and her can-do determination to overcome the nightmare of pediatric cancer.

Leah Still’s condition has sparked national attention, and much more. Devon Still’s NFL status has produced a remarkable chain of events—and money—in the fight against pediatric cancer. For starters, the Bengal franchise kept Still on the team’s healthcare insurance as he focused on Leah more than football. Also, the Bengals pledged all proceeds from the sale of Still’s #75 jersey to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center (to date netting over $1 million).

Sean Payton, head coach of the New Orleans Saints, personally bought 100 of the jerseys in an act of support.

Patriots’ owner, Robert Kraft, donated $25,000 to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, as well as having the Patriot cheerleaders don Still jerseys during the Sunday Night Football game with the Bengals. Other players and teams have contributed as well.

And Ellen DeGeneres featured Devon on her TV variety show, Ellen, in late October, giving him a $10,000 check for the fight against pediatric cancer.

At this writing, prospects look bright for both Leah and her dad. The hope is that Leah is cancer-free and will stay that way.

And dad Devon has been taken from the Bengals practice squad and elevated to the 53-man roster of the team. He has played in recent games, and is very probably looking at football from a different perspective these days. The game has to be easier than facing up to and beating pediatric cancer. Key Magazine salutes Leah, Devon, and all who have stepped up to help in the fight against the disease.

Renaissance Downtown Cincinnati

I

f “lifestyle brand hotel” means something to you, then so too should Renaissance Cincinnati Downtown, a lodging destination featuring a past as grand as the promise of its splendid future.

The newly opened hotel is in the historic and historically renovated Bartlett Building, designed by renowned architect Daniel Burnham, and opened for business in1901. For more than 100 years, much of the City’s banking and commercial business passed through the offices of that building.

Today, the building is another jewel in the necklace of Renaissance hotels in the Marriott chain that circle the globe.

“We worked with the Preservation Society (of Cincinnati) to do everything we could to preserve the wonderful (neoclassical) architecture of the first three floors,” said Keoni Christensen, GM of the property. “Cities go through change, rebirth, and some of that has to do with renovating existing structures. The architecture and design of this building lent itself well to the Renaissance hotel concept.”

The reason the Bartlett Building was a perfect fit for conversion to a luxury hotel is its original configuration. The first three floors contain the neoclassic design of Burnham—lots of granite, marble and exquisite detail. Those floors are the lobby and meeting room/ballroom spaces of the hotel. The remaining 16 floors would be demolished and reconfigured into plush hotel rooms and suites without worry over historical architectural preservation, according to Christensen.

“Our hotel is new and unique to this city. If lodgers want something more than a simple place to sleep, then they might consider a stay with us at

Pictured from left are: Shynai Heath, front desk; and Diana Tisue, navigator the Renaissance hotel. We have a great downtown here in Cincinnati,” he said, and if people want to be in the middle of that, then Christensen’s hotel is central to the City’s vibrant general renaissance.

The hotel has the décor of granite and marble in the lobby area. Off the lobby, a slightly elevated walkway to Burnham’s, the BLD restaurant that is attracting more than just guests of the property.

Attracting diners from outside the hotel is always a good sign for the restaurant. “Already, we have a strong lunch crowd,” said Christensen.

For lunch, you’ll find dishes such as Romaine Scampi, featuring grilled hearts of romaine, tiger shrimp, finished scampi style, with classic Caesar dressing and shaved Pecorino Romano. How about Quiche Lorraine? It’s made with Swiss and gruyere cheeses, smoked bacon and sweet onion, and served with a salad.

Dining at Symphony Hotel harkens America’s gilded age

B

ack in the 19th century, there was an element of grandeur to be found at upscale dining scenes, especially if situated in “hotels.” Elegant settings, fine cuisine, special service: a real experience. You will find that at the Historic Dining Room of the Symphony Hotel near Cincinnati’s iconic Music Hall and magnificent Washington Park.

Dining at the Symphony Hotel differs from the average restaurant experience. You’ll need to reserve a table, and the best way to do that is by email—email is easiest and encouraged. There are three evenings that dining is offered at the hotel: Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Also, there is a Sunday brunch.

Wednesday diners experience a 3-course offering, while a 5-course meal is served on the weekends from 5:30 to 10:30 p.m. The menu options are limited, but each evening, there are entrée options featuring: beef, fish, chicken or vegetarian.

When you make the reservation, you will be asked to select one of the four entrée options, so your entrée is set before you arrive. The five courses served on weekends include: soup, salad, sorbet, entrée and dessert.

“Every meal is hand-crafted and we take special care with every aspect of the preparation that way,” said Colleen Iles, GM of the hotel. “We are able to keep food costs down and to serve a really special, elegant meal to our guests by approaching the meals in this way (arranging for the patron to choose the entrée at the time of reserving the table). I receive the email and I confirm by email the reservation and 12 KEYCINCINNATI.COM

the entrée choices made by the guests in the party.”

Along with the 5-course Friday-Saturday dinner, there is live music from 8-11 p.m., styled and toned for the dining experience. The Sunday brunch is offered from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and features entrée options that range from $8.95 to $12.95.

Part of the elegance of these meals is the setting.

The hotel is one of a handful of boutique hotels scattered around the country. There are nine guest rooms in all, each named after a famous composer of classical music. Rooms are fitted in period antiques. Each room carries a composer sobriquet such as the Beethoven, Schubert, Bach, Mozart, Brahms, Mahler, and so on.

“We do package stays for guests spending a special time with us, an anniversary or birthday or maybe part of a get-away weekend,” said Iles, speaking of the 24/7 hotel operation she manages.

The package may feature a bottle of champagne in the room, along with arrangements for a special dinner in the Dining Room.

“Many times, we have had groups for bachelorette parties stay here after their celebration (also at the hotel) because the guests don’t want to chance driving home after a night of partying,” she said. The hotel offers party services, such as the bachelorette party, along with other special events such as wine dinners, wine, bourbon, or tequila tastings.

There is a rooftop deck at the hotel, and many guests take a bottle of wine up there to enjoy the weather and the view. The Symphony Hotel and Restaurant… a must see!

Water Tower Fine Wines: Huge selection, solid knowledge

I

f you LOVE wine and great atmosphere, how about those two together and more than 2,000 labels of wine on the shelves?

Visit Water Tower Fine Wines at 6136 Campus Lane in Mt. Washington, and you will find such an oasis of wines, champagnes, sparkling wines and more. Shopkeepers David and Jan Lazarus pride themselves on having the largest selection of wines in the tri-state area. They also offer the largest selection of champagne (180 varieties) and sparkling wines (130 varieties) in the United States. If you love wines, you’ll have a blast looking and buying from this unique and vast selection.

“I have extremely eclectic tastes,” says David Lazarus. “That’s why we have a couple thousand wines in the store.” The wines are from all over the world—California and other states, also Israel, Greece, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Germany, Australia, South America, and more.

One attraction of this shop is the weekly Friday Night Tasting Event. Each Friday from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. the shop has a lavish wine tasting. Heavy appetizers are served (Key staff was invited recently and all was yummy, especially the wines!). Tastings range from $12 to $40 per person, depending on the price points of the wines being tasted that particular Friday.

One reason Water Tower Fine Wines is better for visitors to the area is the Lazarus approach to shop hours of operation. The store is open for a limited number of hours each week, but call the shop (513-231-9463) and the proprietors will open the store by appointment. So if you can only make it after hours on a Tuesday, call, and work it out with David or Jan, and they’ll be there. Regular hours are: 12 - 6 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday; 12 - 10 p.m. Friday: and 12 - 5:30 p.m. Saturday.

Asked about the average customer frequenting the shop, the answer is there is no average buyer of wines. Water Tower Fine Wines has a wide range of price points to satisfy all kinds of shoppers, from those who want good quality at a lower price to those who collect the rare or special vintages.

David Lazarus, owner of Water Tower Fine Wines.

“Many people don’t realize that we have some of the collectible wines that tend to be bought up quickly and become hard to get.” Lazarus said. He has 12 highly rated wine collectibles in his shop just now. He mentioned three: 100 Acres and Amuse Bouche, along with Salon champagne. “I don’t sell on ratings and people may not necessarily know that we have the wines.

But we do.”

There are also wonderful selections of port, dessert wines and other specialty wines. For instance, Kopki vintage port selection includes many a 1900s bottle: including a ’91, ’78, ’75, ’66, ’60, ’55 and ’51. That’s just one label.

“Our goal here is to match the wine to the person buying it. We’re not out to sell a specific bottle to our customer. This is a service business, and our job is to find out what our customer is looking for in a wine and then match that to a wine that will be what the customer wants.”

Lazarus can help the novice find wines that will satisfy as well. For those who buy in case lots, there is a 10% discount for such purchases.

Water Tower Fine Wines is a hidden gem….. worth the find…..see you there!

Exclusive men’s fashions found at 45/46

I

f fine clothing is important to you, then 45/46 Fine Men’s Apparel is a place worth a visit while you are here in Greater Cincinnati. This men’s apparel store is a retail establishment in the high-end tradition of men’s stores, because of the hand-picked nature of what you will find on the racks and shelves, and in the swatch books.

Jim Young, the GM and buyer, had this to say about his selection: “I hand pick everything in here. I spend a lot of time at market, deciding what will go in my selection each season. Then I spend the extra time on how I want the shirt (or other garments) modeled—how I want the collar, the taper, the sleeves, the cuffs. So even though that fabric is available to everybody in the world, I’ve modified it—it’s specifically made for this store.”

That personal men’s-wear insight shows in the shirts, sweaters and other garments that adorn the racks and tables of this shop. The patterns and styles are distinctive and fashionable. Your purchase becomes an image statement as well.

There is also a made-to-measure program at 45/46. Patrons can have suits, sport coats and shirts made by 45/46. The custom process allows a man to pick from fabric swatches for the suit, coat or shirt goods, and determine the style and fit of every aspect of the finished goods, right down to the button choices, and even the lining of the suit or sport coat. Young does the measurement personally, and follows through with the final fitting. If you have never had a suit of clothing or a shirt custom-made, the 45/46 shop is a place that will help you through the process with the utmost personal one-on-one service, according to Young.

The 45/46 apparel focus is on fine products

that are made in the USA. Young pointed out several lines that are of US manufacture: “Even my denim is made in the USA,” he said. The company is Citizens for Humanity, a jeans maker based in Los Angeles. Young claims to have the largest selection of Citizen’s denim anywhere in the tri-state area, with more variety than any other outlet for the jeans.

In ready-made suits, the store carries American-made suits by Hart, Schaffner & Marx and Hickey Freeman. Both brands have been part of fine men’s wear for generations. In shoes, Young stocks the Allen Edmonds line, and is the largest independent dealer in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky for the American-made footwear.

Also, you’ll find designer clothing by Hugo Boss, Ted Baker and other labels. Those products are manufactured abroad, and are offered in 45/46.

Those with gift lists to fill may want to consider the line of Korchmar leather goods offered at 45/46. Among the selections is a smart tan leather duffle of full-grain leather, featuring both handle and shoulder strap, and brass fittings. There are messenger bags and briefcases as well, all formerly made locally in Cincinnati, and now made in Florida.

There is a serious tie selection, all custom made, and no more than two of any style. Same with the sock selection…incredible choices throughout the store.
