That $3 million project by George Stinson and Ed Lewis brought with it 55 hotel rooms and the eye of the New York Times, which included the project in a June 2014 roundup of projects transforming the city. The next phase of that master plan came into focus this week as Stinson filed plans with the city to build a 15,300-square foot banquet hall adjacent to the Vu Guest House at 225 East Breckinridge Street. Referring to new bars opening outside of Downtown in places like Butchertown or the Highlands, Lindenberger wrote, “Stinson described it as a ‘gay format but without the gay identity,’ adding that that was exactly what he and other gays had been fighting for all their lives.”
