The building is over 100yrs old and so stunning. Tons of food vendors offering fresh food items as well as ready-to-eat options. Take a glimpse into Cleveland's culinary history and present. Must see, and must eat! Steve's Gyros (cash only) are still my favorite.

This is NOT American Chinese cuisine. Highly recommended for authentic Sichuan dishes. Fish hot pot, Sichuan chicken, twice cooked pork...so good. Spicy, but not overwhelming.

Went for the chicken sandwich and it did not disappoint! Deviled eggs, biscuits, creamy mac, collards...everything was really good! I also had a cocktail. It's located in a pretty busy area, but we found parking easily. We also made reservations which isn't required, but highly recommended.

Welcome to the "Rust Belt"

Cleveland is an old city with a long history originally founded in 1796. Our nickname, "Little Chicago", was coined in the mid-1900s referencing the city's close connection and likeness to Chicago. Just like any city, Cleveland is comprised of unique neighborhoods with different offerings. Some are nicer while others need some.
