Canton, Ohio, is home base to Two Amused Bouches. Contrary to stereotype, we're more than the Pro Football Hall of Fame (even though we ARE pretty proud to have it here)! Not only will you find out more about Collyn and Lisa, but you'll also get to know all of our day-to-day local faves - from date-night dinners and drinks to takeout and thrifting. A few other outlying towns and cities you'll find in this spot include New Phila, Dover, East Canton, Minerva, etc. We wouldn't forget about those guys.
Could this winter be more drab? It sure doesn’t feel like it could. If you’re feeling a tad bit of cabin fever, look forward to busting out of the house this Wednesday evening after work for North Canton’s annual Savor North Canton. … Read More

Have a kiddo who is two years or younger? If so, you’re probably looking for new things to do with the babe aside from the usual trip to Target. Well, I have something new and fun for you two: Mommy and Me Yoga at 6th Street Yoga in downtown Canton.… Read More

We admittedly don’t venture near enough to Tuscarawas County to eat and drink. While E and I are often down that way to visit friends and family, the area doesn’t surface as a go-to, and it should. Sublime Smoke, Park Street Pizza, Bread Head and Lockport Brewery are all just 15-20 minutes down 77 south and really great places to patron.… Read More

As Lisa mentioned in her latest post, we’ve been so preoccupied with LIFE and all its [good!] changes that our favorite pastime of eating delicious local food has taken a backseat. We know, we know, it seems impossible.
But things have mostly settled down, and we’re about to fix our eating-out problem [or lack thereof] by hitting up almost two dozen eateries in one fell swoop!… Read More

Ahhh, the venues. Some were easy to find, others… quite the opposite. As I recapped in the first wedding post, we had a number of issues arise as we looked for venues. We tried looking through TheKnot.com, a couple of local bridal magazines and even word of mouth without much luck.… Read More

Now that we’ve covered the wedding jeweler, bridal gown shop and florist in the last post, on to the tastier things. The catering companies we used worked well with our schedules (after work hours and weekends) and had enough material for us that we could look over and customize on our own time.… Read More

Oh, hey! Remember me? I’ve been on quite the hiatus over the past few months and for good reason(s). Between getting engaged, planning the wedding, finding out we’re EXPECTING (woohoo!) and big changes at work… we’ve been kind of busy over here in the Dalpiaz household.… Read More

Three-plus years ago, when the Cleveland Flea burst on the scene, Lisa and I were instantly hooked by its fresh concept. The combo of food trucks, local art, vintage finds, artisan goods, and live music in an open-air venue felt like a pretty perfect way to spend a Saturday.… Read More

Note from Lisa and Collyn: Thank you to our foodie friend Leslie Hennessey (and her hubs Dustin) of Canton for sharing their fabulous 36-hour getaway to Wooster, Ohio with us. Yes, THAT Wooster. Spoiler alert: they loved it! Read on…
I have to be honest, when my husband surprised me with a birthday weekend in Wooster, I thought he had lost his touch in the gift department.… Read More

Yesterday, as I enjoyed the piazza at Gervasi for the first time this season – soaking in a sunny June afternoon, good company, and a glass of white wine {yay!} – I was reminded that the Gervasi family of properties has another outdoor space that’s equally lovely…and we’ve yet to talk about it.… Read More

In anticipation of the grand opening of the new North Canton Earth Fare, we’re giving away a $25 gift card to Earth Fare (usable at any of the stores-and more on this at the bottom). They graciously provided gift cards and opened their doors a little early for us to preview the store, try some samples and explore the space.… Read More

Sampling fine wines and craft beers, enjoying beautiful Spring weather {fingers crossed; this is Ohio}, and supporting great community organizations in the process? This is our favorite warm-weather pastime. Two such events are coming up in late May/early June, so naturally we’ll be at both, and hope you will be too!… Read More

It took me entirely too long to visit Shy Cellars for a proper dinner. From her ‘house’ in Strasburg, Ohio, {more on that later} Chef Sherry Schie – pronounced SHY – has been racking up a dedicated following and impressive accolades, including three consecutive wins at the Taste of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.… Read More

Oh. Christmas is over? Whaaa? What happened? Time for New Year’s Eve already?
Yep. I feel ya. And the dizziness of the holiday season. To help out though, here’s a list of NYE events in Cleveland, Akron and Canton worth your time.… Read More

I hesitantly share this post with you. And as I do, I really hope you and I do not share the same affinity for funky, animal figurines or even wear the same size of clothing…
A couple weekends ago my ultimate deal-scoring, thrift-seeking BFF invited me to attend a “shop hop” with her over on Middlebranch in Plain Township.… Read More

Whether you’re just starting holiday shopping, searching for those final gifts {if so, I hate you}, or in denial that Christmas is less than six weeks away {ahem, me}, options to shop local are abundant, and they start in full force this weekend with open houses and grand openings.… Read More

Royal Docks started as a concept. A concept brewed overseas for that matter. The brewery was to be a place for friends to gather and stay; somewhere to foster good times, friendship, really good beer and a relaxing atmosphere for family and friends to enjoy – and it is currently all of those things.… Read More

For some coffee is recreational, for others it’s medicinal; for me, I’d like to think it’s a healthy “balance” of both. Not only is it delicious, warming and [almost always] necessary, the act of grabbing coffee with a friend is truly therapeutic and absolutely time well spent.… Read More
