Astoria has actually surprised us. It was expected to be quite good, since it is owned by the folks who provide fine cheeses all over the region. However, it has surpassed excellent to be truly exceptional. We feel it is one of the top three restaurants in the city at the moment, and it is about three long blocks from the house.

This refers to the Marina, but The Emerald Necklace is the combination of parks that surround the city of Cleveland/Cuyahoga County. It is unique in that they are all connected by trails (hence the 'necklace') and there are so much to them it would be difficult to list them all. You can look it up on the marina website to find the rest of the locations.

Heinens is a repurposed bank. I've experienced that type of thing around the country. However, this bank has a dome that was designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany. $14 million went into restoring this incredible building and it is now one of the top attractions in the city. And you can have a nice lunch there with their prepared foods, or literally go food shopping with a fantastic selection.

This is a huge collection of stores that sell all hand made items. It is an old warehouse, four stories tall, now filled with more than 40 art galleries and other incredible shops. On the third Saturday of every month, they have a huge pop up grouping of more than 150 hand made vendors. Each shop is unique, so nailing down the open hours is difficult, but it is worth driving over just to look through the art. Blank Canvas Theatre is also here, and they often have wedding receptions here on weekends.
