I promised Scott another evening of me being the designated driver and he promised me another sonnet after the response to last week’s blog post. Enjoy! I am a big fan of the Great Lakes Science Center. Every time I go I have a great time. It’s an awesome space…
I’ve been on the road the past week, so this bit of blogkeeping is belated. Congratulations to Elizabeth P for winning 2 tickets to the Tri-C JazzFest! When I hear the phrase “beer pairings,” my thoughts – as yours probably do – immediately go to beer and food. From cheese…
BBQ, brews and blues at the ballpark – besides being a fun tongue-twister, it’s my favorite way to chill out in the summer. And on June 28, this triple-play of summer fun comes to downtown Cleveland at Our Lady of the Wayside’s Grapes and Ale fundraiser. From 7-10pm, Progressive Field will…
As we know from last week’s news, a fire tore through Cleveland’s West Side Market in the early morning hours of last Wednesday. And while the city will pay for the clean up out of capital funds previously identified for WSM upgrades, there is still a lot of work that will need to be done and business…
Christmas came early for Cleveland food-and-drink lovers at last week’s Emerging Chefs Naughty Claus. Going in, I knew if there was anyone who could break up the monotony of holiday meals, it would be the Emerging Chefs team. And I was not disappointed as they teamed with Chef Adam Lambert…
This year one of Cleveland’s landmark institutions is celebrating its 90th birthday. As the country’s largest performing arts center outside of New York, PlayhouseSquare engages our community and attracts over one million guests each year to 1,000+ annual events. But that wasn’t always the case. Although PlayhouseSquare was downtown Cleveland’s cinematic and entertainment destination for many years, the post-WWII flight […]
Although Hurricane Sandy put a delay on a lot of the Halloween festivities, I think it’s safe to safe the holiday season is finally upon us. And with the arrival of HallowThanksMas, my brain turns to food. That’s kind of a lie. My brain is usually turned to food, but more so over the next two months. As I prepare for Scott’s […]
Sadly the bulk of Cleveland Beer Week falls during one of work’s busiest times of year so I haven’t really had a chance to enjoy much of the festivities. However, when I saw on Monday that Tremont Taphouse was showing Monty Python and the Holy Grail on their patio and serving up ale in Grail goblets you […]
Some blogkeeping: Today’s the last day of the L’Amour du Vin giveaway. You can enter here until 11:59 tonight and I’ll announce the winner tomorrow. I have an addiction. To my cellphone. Whether it’s checking my email, refreshing news apps to see if there are new articles to read (regardless of whether or not the topic […]
When I think about Put-in-Bay, thoughts of summertime come to mind – balmy weather and a cool breeze coming off the mirror-smooth lake. However, this past weekend I was surprised to learn how Lake Erie’s islands are also the perfect Fall escape when we visited for Put-in-Bay’s Island Wine Festival. We drove out to Catawba early Saturday morning and hopped on the Miller Ferry. The […]
