Beating the Heat at the Cleveland Aquarium
After spending all afternoon in the sun yesterday for a wedding rehearsal and bbq, I think it really struck me for the first time how incredibly hot this summer is going to be. It took every ounce of self-control to not go running into the nearby river to cool down. I can’t imagine what the […]
Guest Post: Not So Clueless in Clothing Anymore
Last week Scott and I took a drive out to Moreland Hills to visit J3 Clothing Company. We met up with Smitten…in Cleveland, Wearing Mascara, Blog – The New Black and Life in Cleveland for a blogger get-together hosted by the store. After thoroughly enjoying pizza from their next-door neighbor Flour, we spent our evening learning more about this unique, locally-owned men’s clothing store. I was […]
Emerging Chefs' Last Tango in Tremont at Velvet Tango Room
A couple weeks ago Kimberly at Smitten…in CLE wrote that people fall into two categories — those who have been to Cleveland’s Velvet Tango Room and love it and those who have heard its praises sung but haven’t made it out there yet. Unfortunately, I fall in the latter. From the comfortable atmosphere of a vintage-style speakeasy…
A Downtown Bike Tour with Cleveland Bike Tours and Ohio Blogging
Cliches exist because there’s usually some element of truth to them. And earlier this week I proved that you never in fact forget how to ride a bicycle when I got back on one after years and years of not biking. I’m not exaggerating when I say I have almost no balance — check me out […]
Cleveland Zoological Society's ZippityZooDoo Recap
When an opportunity comes along to visit the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo after the sun goes down, I’d be hardpressed to pass it up. After a holiday party there a few years ago, I knew I couldn’t miss their ZippityZooDoo when I first learned about it. Hosted by the Cleveland Zoological Society, the ZippityZooDoo is Cleveland’s longest-running benefit. For this…

Another week is almost done – what are you doing this weekend? If you don’t have plans, a slate of festivals have you covered from the east to westsides. Get out this weekend (bring a water bottle – it’s going to be hot) and experience the unique art and entertainment our…
Guest Posting on Eat.Drink.Cleveland about "Strip"-ping
This week is all about guest blogging! First on Monday, I was over at WhyCLE, sharing about Global Cleveland and how the work they’re doing with newcomers and boomerangs is a reason to love this city. And yesterday I jumped over to Eat Drink Cleveland with a guest post about an Avon…
#WhyCLEWedding and Guest Blogging about Global Cleveland
On Saturday morning, Scott and I woke up early, got dolled up in our dress and suit, and headed out to the eastside for “the wedding of the century.” Sorry, Duchess Kate, I’m talking about @WhyCLE and @TheRealCLEGuy! The day was filled with a very lovely, spiritual ceremony in the morning at St. John Vianney, with a reception […]
Cleveland Public Theatre's Transformative Akarui
When I compare it to other theatres, what sets Cleveland Public Theatre apart is that I never know what to expect when I walk in their doors. When I see a show there, I get the same on-edge excitement as when I stick my hand into a mystery box at a…
Getting out and Exploring Northeast Ohio
For the three-day Memorial weekend, Scott and I decided to change things up a bit. Instead of traveling out of town like most of our previous weekends, we hosted Scott’s parents and grandmother. I love having out-of-town guests because it means I can put on my tourist shoes and explore places in Cleveland I may […]
