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…
I usually don’t run 2 giveaways at the same time. However, when you read about the Greenhouse Tavern Prophets of Smoked Meat giveaway, you’ll understand why I couldn’t pass it up. Because this week’s a little crazy, Scott stepped in to blog about it. With his love of meat, I…
Cleveland is filled with so many incredible nonprofits that it can sometimes be difficult to choose how to give back to the community. Not the worst problem to have, I know. But Neighborfood, a new event on June 22 from food tour company Dishcrawl Cleveland, wants to make it a little…
11 days, 900 miles, and too many guest beds/couches/air mattresses to count. To celebrate the start of summer and a few family milestones, Scott and I packed up the car last week and began the Great DiGiandomenico-Hicken Roadtrip of 2013. As much as I love the home we’ve built in Cleveland, it…

To complement the stunning renovation, the Museum has also rolled out community programming…
For as much fun as I had this past weekend nerding out over Felicia Day, Peter Davison and Brian Posehn, the downside of our roadtrip to Chicago was that I had to miss MedWish’s Band Aid Bash on Saturday night. Fortunately, Katie O. was able to attend for me and share her experience. Once…
This May, Cleveland Magazine unveils their list of Northeast Ohio’s “Best Restaurants” as voted on by readers – from Best BBQ and Sunday Brunch to Best Small Plates and Wine List in the city. The winning restaurants are then invited to showcase a signature dish at the Silver Spoon Awards Party on May 15. I volunteered at Silver Spoon a…
Some blog-keeping: Have you entered to win 2 tickets to the Cleveland JazzFest? You can tweet daily for additional entries. After all the running around for last week’s Partners Bowl-a-Rama (who has stress dreams over bowling? this guy!), I was more than ready for the weekend. Ready to sleep past…
