After last year’s experience at IngenuityFest 2010, I’ve known I’d be attending this year’s IngenuityFest for months. Then I read the Plain Dealer sneak peek on some of the featured artists and that sealed the deal. If you still need convincing, though, here’s yet another reason: Emerging Chefs’ C4 at Ingenuity For 4…
One of my favorite summer series – PlayhouseSquare’s Cinema at the Square – starts up tonight with King Kong. As much I enjoy spending the warm-weather months outdoors, sometimes I like escaping into the air conditioning, curling up in a theatre seat and getting engrossed in a movie. And when it’s a classic film —…
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…
The mystery started this Spring — iloveNoodlecat popped up on Facebook with Clevelanders ‘liking’ it’s enigmatic, noodle-slurping cat without knowing much else about it. A short time later, a youtube video of Noodlecat’s travels started making the rounds, revealing that a Jonathon Sawyer-helmed Japanese-styled noodle shop would open on Public Square this summer.

When I sat down to write this post I realized it’s been a few months since I blogged about a play (last time was my review of Cleveland Play House’s beautiful Legacy of Light). Thanks to a belated anniversary present from Scott, I’m remedying that situation today! As I mentioned when…
Scott and I finally saw Midnight in Paris last week (which hands down deserves its 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes). His mom and sister had been urging me for weeks to see Woody Allen’s latest comedy because like Owen Wilson’s character, I can often be a sucker for nostalgia. From shopping…
I love a good change of pace so I”m happy to share that this week I was featured on The Cleveland Sound with a review of the Rock Hall’s Chef Jam 2011. The write up is a bit different than what I normally do with less of a focus on me and more covering/reporting on…
UPDATE: Chris Hodgson’s Brick & Mortar Pop-Up has been rescheduled to July 11 and 13. While there is certainly no shortage of amazing restaurants in Cleveland, there often seems to be a shortage in time to try them all out. Fortunately, the Cleveland food scene has remedied the situation with…
It’s the season of Ingenuity in Cleveland, as the team behind IngenuityFest bridges science and art together once again. I had a fantastic time at their Cocktail Party Redux in March, so I was really excited when I heard about this next event: On Saturday, June 11th at 8pm, IngenuityFest Cleveland is…
With Memorial Day this weekend, the “unofficial start of summer” is here. But a few restaurants got an early start over the last couple of weeks as they have begun opening up their patios. When it comes to dining and drinking al fresco, E. 4th Street is one of my…
