Not sure if this has been discussed anywhere but had the chance to try the newly opened "Cavo's" (original Graffiti) on Washington.  Have to say their limited menu was fantastic and I'd definitely go

Tried Russell’s last night for happy hour, just a couple apps and drinks. They’ve done a fantastic job with the space, the wall by the lake is all windows and provides an incredible sunset view overlo

Shin is also a Hebrew letter--- maybe it'll be Kabbalah Cuisine.

Hebrew, Oriental... as long as it is something other than the what has become the norm around here... Modern American, American Fusion, etc. We have enough of that already. I know we have different flavors in other areas of the city, but a little culture in the core would be nice.

A tapas restuarant called Ceviche is coming to Church St Station soon. They have locations in Tampa and St Pete

Ceviche

They have a sign in one of the windows that says they are hiring for all positions. For those not frequenting downtown, it is taking over the space that was most recently Pearl Steakhouse.

Also across the street will be The Dessert Lady II. She does the desserts for Charlie's Steakhouse among others. I wonder if that will be a place to get desserts as well as catering to the other restaurants downtown (like a dessert wholesaler).

Chemmie I agree 110%, any sports bar facility would do handsome business in the CBD. Assuming no additional projects were built, with the current vacancies in mind where would you guys expect a sports bar to do the best?

Honestly, I'm not sure. Maybe a little farther way in Colonialtown, like Bumby and Colonial... Or near Mills and Virginia, once the project is built. That way you could bring in traffic from Winter Park and farther east on Colonial.

Rent would be so expensive in one of the new buildings, but around Lake Eola, Thornton Park would be great, obviously.

The majority of people living in that area now are young professionals who, most likely, would enjoy watching some sports, drinking beer and eating wings. What's not to like about that??

Not everything downtown needs to be stuffy and snooty.

I'm just reminded of Jocks and Jills in Atlanta. The downtown one is HUGE and has TVs everywhere. It's almost a local tourist destination on gamedays. It is packed.

Anyone want to lend me about a million dollars or so? I'll get this thing built.

Am I correct in assuming District 5 is done?

The sign is covered up with a plastic "Hotel and Diner Now Open!" sign.

Looks like The Lexington people have given up all hope. They've declared bankruptcy and are now trying to salvage anything by bringing the property back to what it was before they got hold of it.

what do u consider a sport bar?

I, for one, take great pleasure in eating at (sports) establishments with scantily (sp?) clad women that bring me sloppy wings and ice cold pitchers of beer. A good sports bar requires little or no rotation of ones seat in order to view a television. My ideal sprots bar has a mirror with an integrated television set at the urinal with perhaps a flat screen at the sink so I don't have to miss a second of my favorite Orlando team getting beat. High ceilings are a plus too.
