Meet 5 is a new weekly feature here at NewtoCincy.com. Every week, I’ll post about one event where you’ll be guaranteed to meet at least five people just by showing up.
This week, the annual holiday party for the Downtown Residents’ Council is the place to be – whether you live downtown or not. On Thursday night at Universal Grille, DRC members old and new will be chowing down on good food, knocking back cocktails, and making friends with whoever walks in the door. This is one of the friendlist, most helpful groups of people you could wish to encounter – in Cincinnati or elsewhere.
The party starts at 6PM and goes until 9 o’clock. It’s free for DRC members. What if you’re not a member? Just join at the door, for the princely sum of $15 per person OR $20 for an entire household. That will let you eat for free and get discounted drinks at the party, and also entitle you to the myriad other benefits that come with DRC membership. (Here’s an abridged list of businesses which offer discounts to members, but there are many more offers – such as 2-for-1 theater tickets, restaurant gift certificates, and many more bonuses – which come members’ way throughout the year.)
So your membership pays for itself at the party, plus you get ongoing benefits for twelve months after you join. It’s a no-brainer.
