If you were to ask me what my favorite ‘Saturday morning’ activity is in Cleveland, I’d be hardpressed to pick just one. However, if I was really forced to, I would have to go with visiting Ohio City. The Westside Market is swarming with activity and in general the neighborhood is filled with great people-watching…
When I lived in Philly, I walked and took public transit a lot. For some reason, though, when I moved to Cleveland that changed. Whether it was the free parking at work or sheer laziness at not wanting to learn a new route, when I lived in Shaker Heights I never…
Last week, I posted about my first trip to Blossom Music Festival to see the Cleveland Orchestra. I don’t know what took me so long to get out to the summer concert hotspot, but Scott and I tried to make up for lost time by paying it a return visit this past weekend. In addition…
After Saturday’s 5K, this past weekend had another “first” for me. Fortunately, it was a much more leisurely kind of “first” – my first visit to Blossom Music Festival. On Sunday evening the Cleveland Orchestra had a “Meet the Musicians” night for media and bloggers followed by a concert of Bruckner’s…
Although this weekend was partially about catching up on my to-do list, it was also time to celebrate the beautiful Cleveland summer we’ve been having and the Fourth of July. There is something to be said about Independence Day. Even for just a few days, we forget our disillusionment with current politics and celebrate the history we share and…
I don’t think I’ve ever looked more forward to a 3-day weekend than I am this July 4th holiday. And while it’s partially because I love picnics and July 4th is always full of them, it’s mostly because I need that one extra day to work on my to-do list. I…
Update: Due to rain on June 16, this was rescheduled to June 23 Few foods elicit sheer bliss in me the way sushi does. Squid, eel, yellowtail, shari rice, nori wrappers, wasabi(!) – the list of what I love about sushi goes on and on. And my favorite part? When the…
Have you entered my giveaway for a Coventry Village-inspired change purse? You have until May 23rd at 11:59 pm. *** There’s no doubt that Northeast Ohio is in the middle of a culinary renaissance. And while the neighborhoods the chefs call home are benefitting from their presence, the…
I discovered two things at Sunday’s C-Town Chow Down: 1) Clevelanders really love their city’s food trucks (for good reason as I’ve learned from previous Dim and Den Sum dining) and 2) we’re a patient group. These would be the only two explanations I can think of for why myself…
I came to the sad conclusion a while ago that I’m incapable of exploring everything in Northeast Ohio. Case in point, I was really disappointed to have to miss the Geneva Ice Wine Festival this past weekend (and the coming weekend since I’m going to be in Chicago for this).…
