Steve’s Gyros at the West Side Market

This past Saturday the hubby and I packed up the toddler for our annual Easter weekend trip to the West Side Market.  We parked in our usual spot down the street, since the parking lot is always packed the day before Easter.  It’s become my duty the past few years to purchase the traditional “lamb [...]

Taking Kids Out to Eat

The hubby and I have recently discovered (during our trip to Great Wolf Lodge), a new secret to keeping the toddler happy while going out to eat…that little DVD player that works so well on the airplane also keeps him happy until his food comes at the restaurant. Another trick that the hubby was impressed [...]

Idea for a Girls’ Night Out This Weekend

Cellar Door in Beachwood has wine tastings every Friday and Saturday night, no reservations required unless you have a group of 8 or more.    Sounds pretty cool, this week, for $15 you get tastes of 7 different sparkling wines and champagne.
A Weekend of Bubbles.
This weekend menu will feature bubbles for the holidays. From French Champagne [...]

New Year’s Eve in Cleveland

Do you think I can convince the hubby to go out for New Year’s Eve this year?   The toddler still isn’t old enough to “get it” or to stay up until midnight.   I dunno, I’m starting to get emails about fun stuff to do on New Year’s Eve, which really makes me want to go [...]

New Melting Pot in Rocky River

Finally, we have a Melting Pot on the west side of Cleveland.   And last night the hubby and I had our annual double-wedding-anniversary-quadruple-birthday-celebration with two of our friends.   Both of our weddings took place in August, two of our birthdays are in August, and the other two birthdays are in October.   So every year, we [...]

Cleveland Kid-Friendly Restaurants

http://cleveland.citysearch.com/bestof/winners/2007/family-friendly_dining
Of places I’ve been recently, the only ones I’d take my 22-month old right now are Red Robin, or the upstairs room at Great Lakes Brewing Company.    The rest of the time we often order food and bring it home to eat.  Honey Hut at Huntington beach works well too if you’re into concession stand food [...]

Cleveland Restaurant with the Best View

Ok, so it’s technically in Lakewood, but it’s four blocks or so from the Cleveland border, so I’m calling it a Cleveland restaurant.   Tonight the hubby and I went to Pier W to celebrate our eighth wedding anniversary.    We try to go there once a year to celebrate special occasions as that was the restaurant [...]
