HISTORY

KELTON HOUSE MUSEUM & GARDEN | COLUMBUS

Built by abolitionist Fernando Kelton in 1852, this Romanesque-style Columbus home served as a station on the Underground Railroad and provided a haven for freedom seekers. The site has several meeting spaces and boasts Victorianera ornamentation as well as some of the home’s original furnishings. Rentable rooms that seat 40 to 50 people include the carriage house and the cellar. There are also exterior spaces on the grounds that can seat 80 or more. Group tours of the home are available. 586 E. Town St., Columbus 43215, 614/464-2022, keltonhouse.com HISTORIC ZOAR VILLAGE | ZOAR

Founded in 1817, Historic Zoar Village preserves the history of a self-sustaining commune with 14 museum buildings. One such structure is the 1868 schoolhouse (one of three that existed in the village), which offers two 75-person meeting rooms between its two floors. The first floor is also equipped with a small kitchen. Upon request, groups can explore the 19th-century village by way of guided tours, trade demonstrations, museum exhibits and a visit to the community’s 2-acre historic garden. 198 Main St., Zoar 44697, 330/874-3211, historiczoarvillage.com WARREN G.

NICHOLE BERGMAN

Located on the site of the stockade where the Northwest Territory’s settlers lived, this museum preserves the stories and artifacts of those pioneers, including the home of Rufus Putnam, who led the settlement. The home, which is housed within an enclosed pavilion, can be seen during guided tours, and the original 1787 Ohio Company Land Office is also on the museum’s grounds. Host a gathering in the great hall, which can hold 80 to 100 people, or in the museum’s meeting hall, which can hold about 50 people. 601 Second St., Marietta 45750, 740/373-3750, mariettamuseums.org/campus-martius

This 25-acre estate and arboretum provides a picturesque backdrop for meetings. The two rooms available for rent — a smaller conference room and a larger auditorium — can seat approximately 15 and 110 people, respectively. Along with the former president’s 31-room home, this historic site has a collection of presidential memorabilia that includes a signed document from nearly every U.S. president, the original White House gates and a pair of President Abraham Lincoln’s slippers.

MEAT AND CHEESE, PLEASE For an upscale way to upgrade the classic veggie tray or meat and cheese platter, opt for charcuterie boards. An easy way for guests to grab a snack during the cocktail hour before the main event, charcuterie boards can include meats, cheeses, crackers, dried fruit and nuts, crackers, olives and pickled items as well as fresh fruits and vegetables.

FOOD TRENDS

BREAKFAST, LUNCH & DINNER Here are offerings those surveyed identified as popular in the restaurant industry for 2023.

BRING THE HEAT

BREAKFAST • Value meals • Unique handhelds (French toast sticks, chicken and waffles sandwiches) • Veggie-forward breakfasts

Hot chicken isn’t just for Nashville anymore. The offering has gained a popularity that now reaches far beyond Tennessee’s Music City, where it is a local favorite. Not only a leading overall restaurant industry trend for the year, fried chicken and spicy/ sweet-heat flavored chicken topped the list of lunch options in the 2023 survey.

ALL DRESSED UP

COOLING OFF

Dill pickles were once all the rage, topping pizzas and being sliced up and deep fried, but culinary professionals named those two preparations specifically as fads that are beginning to fade. Other former favorites on the decline include fruit-flavored coffees such as banana and strawberry as well as crudité platters, otherwise known as raw vegetables with dips.

Condiments offer a chance to bring the flavor in fun ways, and choices from around the globe offer a trip for the taste buds. The list of this year’s top condiments, sauces, spices and seasonings includes variations of the ever-popular Sriracha, a spicy condiment that originated in Thailand; Ganjang, a Korean soy sauce; and Guajillo chili sauce, a classic Mexican salsa.

LUNCH • Fried chicken (spicy and sweet-heat fusion flavors) • Fried chicken sandwiches • Flatbread sandwiches/ healthier wraps DINNER • Less expensive meat cuts (chicken thighs, beef chuck, pork shoulder) • Cauliflower carb alternatives (rice, pizza crusts) • Meal kits/family meals

If you’re looking to embrace a new food trend, check out these choices that culinary professionals say are on the rise. Topping the list are globally inspired sandwiches like Chinese Rou Jia (Chinese hamburger made with pork), Jianbing (a Chinese street food similar to crepes) and choripan (an Argentinian sandwich of chorizo sausage on bread).

MEET IN CINCINNATI — WHERE REINVENTION REIGNS When it comes to conventions, Cincy is just getting started. Cincinnati's compact downtown will undergo a $680 million transformation with the development of a ﬁrst-class Convention District. With construction expected to begin in 2024 and completion in 2026, the Convention District marquees will be a reimagined Duke Energy Convention Center connected to a brand new, Headquarters Hotel. Just north of downtown, Sharonville’s relaxed cityside locale is also undergoing a renaissance of its own. Sharonville Convention Center’s 2023 completed expansion, doubles its exhibit space, and other new hotels and attractions are popping up. See for yourself why reinvention reigns in the Cincy Region.
