celebrate flag day with a tweetup/foursquare “swarm” party at amp150

June 9, 2010 – 8:41 am

Flag Day is Monday, June 14. What are you doing to celebrate? Ok, chances are nothing. In fact, you probably had no idea that it’s Flag Day (unless you’re friends with me then it has been drilled in your head). You see, Flag Day is also my birthday, and up until the age of 9 [...]

three nights on east 4th, mother’s day and eddie vedder

May 12, 2010 – 8:49 pm

Night 1 This past Saturday, my family got together to celebrate Mother’s Day – 15 of us – at The Greenhouse Tavern. We sat downstairs, which my mom said made her feel like she was someplace in New York, in the middle of the hustle and bustle, peering into the open kitchen. While I didn’t [...]

q&a with kate krader, restaurant editor, food & wine

May 5, 2010 – 11:06 am

Because of Cleveland’s strong culinary scene and our nationally recognized chefs, I tried for a press pass to this year’s Food & Wine Classic in Aspen to provide readers an inside view to [...]

pestival at shaker lakes

April 27, 2010 – 3:24 pm

I spent a good chunk of my 20s living in Cleveland Heights. I cannot say enough good things about this community. Except for the never ending flood of parking tickets that made its way to my car on a regular basis, I simply loved living in this area for a variety of reasons and cherish [...]

just another week in the CLE

February 27, 2010 – 9:51 am

Most miserable city? I beg to differ. My week started by spending an evening with a bunch of really witty and engaging  Cleveland bloggers by way of a shopping spree at NEXT in Beachwood Place (I didn’t shop, sigh. Instead, I played the part of social media maven and organized this soiree. I sometimes do [...]

dining out with little ones

February 21, 2010 – 8:22 pm

I’ve seen the looks. I’ve heard the comments. We’ve felt the tension as we walk past your table and our party of three is seated next to you. You’re out for a nice evening and the last thing you want is some screaming kid about to ruin your night out. Or worse, we are seated in your [...]

clevelanders love their veggies (as in veggie u)

February 14, 2010 – 8:42 pm

Like you, I believe in giving back. Whether it’s volunteering my time or the various organizations my husband and I  support, I think it’s important to help others because you never know when you could be the one that needs a helping hand. But I never put this blog to good use, and it’s been [...]

funny how things change

February 12, 2010 – 12:32 pm

I don’t like spice. I love spices, but anything that adds heat – I’ll pass. This includes pepper – barely use it (yes, I know what you’re thinking). I love all types of food and will try just about anything but am a serious wuss when it comes to any bit of hotness on my [...]
