Call me old-fashioned, but there is nothing like dinner and a movie when it comes to date night. And in Cleveland, the Capitol Theatre and surrounding restaurants in Gordon Square are Scott’s and my go-to.
Luxe Kitchen & Lounge, XYZ, and Stone Mad are all great dinner and drink options right around the historic Capitol, while Happy Dog, Spice, Reddstone, and Battery Park Wine Bar are just a walk away. If you’re in the mood for a well-crafted coffee, there’s Gypsy Beans. And Sweet Moses Soda Fountain is perfect to satisfy your sweet tooth.
On October 25th, one of Gordon Square’s finest – Luxe – is teaming up with the Capitol Theatre to present a night full of culinary and cinematic treats, raising dinner and a movie to new heights.
At the second annual Cleveland Movie Gala to benefit the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation, guests will enjoy gourmet food from Luxe, cocktails and staggered film screenings from 7 to 11pm.
I love the Capitol’s 1920s-era decor and architecture and think it’ll be a fantastic backdrop for the event. And with Chef Brian Okin’s creativity and skill in the kitchen, the food is sure to match (here’s my review of the CLE Dinner Club visit to Luxe if you want a glimpse at his talent).
All of this will go to support the work of the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America. CCFA continually works to find a cure for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis while improving the quality of life for children and adults affected by these diseases.
From clinical research to educational programs and supportive services for those with chronic intestinal diseases, CCFA is there to help the 1.4 million Americans who are currently diagnosed (in Northeast Ohio alone, there is an estimated 20,000 people diagnosed). This video from a young boy who just had surgery for UC really helped demonstrate the importance of CCFA’s work for me.
I hope you’ll join me at the CCFA Movie Gala and support the Northeast Ohio chapter of the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation. Purchase general admission tickets for only $50 for an evening of food, two drink tickets and a movie ticket (VIP tickets include all of this + an open bar for $100).
You can also enter my giveaway to win a pair of tickets!

Anything by Hitchcock!
I like the comedies. Blazing Saddles is a CLASSIC (in my book).
Can’t say I like Cronhn’s or Colitis, but I did like the NEO chapter page.

Victor / Victoria is my all time fav! I’ll have to look into their Sunday programming and see if they have it playing ever. I’ve never been to the Capital, as I am so close to Cedar Lee, but I’d love to go!

Whats my favorite classic film? Though tempting to say anything with Jimmy Stewart, if I had to pick one, it would be Harvey. Stewart truly makes the Pooka come to life and is just amazing in that film.
