Manhattan at 17 W. 5th St.
Owner-L. C. Riggs
The Manhattan Restaurant was originally known as the Riggs Restaurant. A employee of the Riggs, George W. Berger, bought the business around 1906 and renamed it the Manhattan Restaurant. It became a very large concern employing over 250 men and women including over 25 chefs and bakers. The Manhattan served over 10,000 people daily. The drawing above is somewhat mis-leading and must have been drawn just when the transfer of ownership was taking place.
These cards are of the Wheel Cafe on Walnut near 6th.

The drawing shows Meyer Silverglade who was 1/2 owner of the Wheel Cafe and the owner of the Hub around the corner at 42 E. 5th Street. He was also director of the Peoples Bank.

Located in Branch Hill (south of Loveland) the Arrowhead Inn (Club) was an illegal casino back when it opened and was run by Joseph Bauer, Sam Nason, and Harold Nason. It was the forerunner to Beverly Hills and The Lookout House and the first of the areas big Supper Clubs with gambling. Opened sometime in the early 30s big name entertainers and gambling was available in plush surroundings. The county prosecutor ordered the club to close down in 1937 but was ignored. The prosecutor led the raid himself that closed the club down for good and all the equipment was confiscated. The Nasons controlled Elmwood and Southern Ohio gambling and reached into Northern Kentucky gambling for the Cleveland Syndicate from 1932-1951. The Arrowhead Apartments now occupy the site at 800 Arrowhead Trail.

Cliff View House was reached by the Cliff Road seen in the North Bend Station card above. This road also led to Harrison's Tomb and was one of the reasons the restaurant was built. It was thought that the tomb would be a strong tourist attraction which, unfortunately, it never was. The restaurant did not survive the depression. Cliff Road is also known as Congress Green Drive.
