This is where we showcase how much we drink.

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

When E and I take vacation, we always have our eye out for neat bars and breweries that have a unique feature that we can’t get at home. On our most recent trip to NYC, he found a great speakeasy called the Little Branch in Greenwich Village – fabulous (totally recommend you find it).… 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

Throw a fancy descriptor on the name of a restaurant and you’re certain to bring in new customers. Case in point – Arnie’s Public House.
Located in the Westgate shopping center across from the old West Point Market and near Swenson’s, Arnie’s used to go by “Arnie’s Standing Room Only”.… Read More

Tasting events are the best. Discovering new favorites alongside the old tried and true, with sizes are perfect for trying as many new bites (or sips) as possible.
Luckily, one of the favorite food and wine events in the area is coming up.… Read More

We love Crop Bistro and Bar – it’s in an unbelievable space, the food is exceptional, and it’s conveniently located in Ohio City (Cleveland). What’s not to love?
With the success of the OC location, they’ve been expanding in new culinary directions with the branches, especially forming more casual, everyday restaurants.… 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

Farm to table, it’s huge. In big cities, in Cleveland, and even right here in Canton. Savor is a new(er) restaurant that has opened right off of Frank and Fulton. So far, it’s proven to be a fun spot for a night cap, a go-to place for a ladies’ lunch and a relaxing date night destination.

Pardon our late-summer hiatus from the blog; these past few weeks we’ve been traveling near and far, enshrining men in gold {we’re from Canton after all!}, and generally soaking up every last drop of summer.
But we’ve also been exploring new gems to share with you, too – like a fantastic and {relatively} new barbeque spot I stumbled upon 20 minutes south of Canton.

Throughout the cold, rainy [shitty] months leading up to summer, there are few things I look forward to more than a good food festival. It kind of keeps me going. I know this sentiment is shared… especially after this epic rain season we just experienced.… Read More

Progressive Field (the Jake) has undergone some MAJOR renovations. If you've not heard, the Indians spent around $25 million to overhaul the stadium creating a more experiential and visitor-focused atmosphere. Overall, it’s fresh, easy to navigate and has a whole lot more of what Cleveland loves; food, drink and social opportunity.

Blu Jazz+ in Akron is swanky, yet low-key and has such a wonderful underground feel that you can’t help but feel as though you’re in an exclusive spot, not known yet to the public.
But luckily, it’s not that exclusive, and it’s not that hard to find.… Read More

Frigid temperatures and near-blizzard conditions put getting a good cup of hot coffee at the very top of my to-do list.
Of course in a 5 mile radius we have the usual Dunkin’ Donuts and Starbucks (a few of them actually) but the luster of those chains are, well, meh.… Read More

Brunching with parents, partners or your best girlfriends, regardless of who your company is, it’s always an event to look forward to. Savory meets sweet and salty, booze is appropriate, and because the mid-meal is offered by only a select few, finding a new spot for brunch is exhilarating.… Read More

If meandering here and there resonates with you, too, you need to drive Ohio Route 39 from I-77 to Millersburg. For Akron/Canton/CLE folks - good news - you can easily get there and back in a {long-ish} day. In my last post, I talked about Park Street Pizza, which is a must-stop on Route 39. On every day but Friday and Sunday, though, they don't open until 3 PM, so you need to plan your day accordingly. Also, Park Street Pizza is just one small slice {sorry, had to} of activity along Route 39. I've cataloged some additional stops that are almost all food-related, but that's hardly a surprise if you're a regular reader. Food IS what defines any outing.

Thirsty Dog: You’ve seen it at grocery stores, Erik’s, and on tap at many of your favorite restaurants – but it’s not a big company brew, it’s actually a homegrown, local brewery up in Akron, Ohio.
The brewery itself is just outside of downtown Akron, right off of 76W.… Read More

Downtown Canton plays host to a number of fantastic community events throughout the year, but the one event that brings together ALL of our favorite things is Vintage Canton. This year it's happening on Wednesday, Sept. 10, when a sea of white tents will take over Central Plaza in the heart of downtown.

Cleveland’s boom in excellent restaurants is wonderful… obviously. But with the drastic increase in dining options, comes the inevitable turnover of establishments. Whether a restaurant opened at the wrong time, or is in the wrong place, it just happens.
However, restaurateur Zack Bruell has managed to keep a handful of these places going for over ten years – including one of my favorite places in Cleveland yet, L’Albatros.…

If you want to take your ho-hum happy hour routine to new heights, boy do I have a spot for you. The Canton Club, a historic club-turned-events center-and-restaurant at the top of the Chase Tower in downtown Canton, is hosting something new this summer: ‘Rooftop Patio Parties’ every Wednesday from 4:30-7:30pm through August 13. Think happy hour in the sky. With a patio. And craft beer and ‘grill grub.’
