Title: Downtown Restaurant Evolution
Post by: jay on December 27, 2013, 06:03:15 PM
I was thinking about the name changes (and ownership changes) of downtown restaurants over the last few years.  Some have had so many name changes that I can't remember all of them.

Evolution Quiz

What were the previous names of the Martini Brothers location?

BTW. You can most likely park at the City Centre One lot and request for a token if you eat at Christopher's Downtown as they are a tenant of the building. If you call in advance to double check, you should be in good shape.

I thought Sherlock Holmes had been a previous name.  Thanks joly1584.

End of the Tunnel was the original bar in the City Centre One building when it was built in the mid 1970's.  Joe Huda ran it until he retired in 1998.  Martini's had the longest run in there since Joe retired.

Best of luck to Christopher's.  Haven't tried it yet, but have heard several good reviews about it.

I was there talking to Chistofer and Shawna, great people trying to make Youngstown better.  Chistofer worked as a cop with my wife's relative, old connections.
Standby for some exciting venues with the old tunnel.
