The space/sci-fi movies playing on the TVs is a nice touch and the artwork is super cool all over the place. It's the type of place that if in the right location would be a cool tourist draw. The artwork and murals throughout are outstanding. I'd recommend going to check it out. It's not the type of place I would go back to for the express purpose of eating. It would be to show it off to a sci-fi fan or to a kid. Sounds like it would have been better located out by Lewis-Glenn.

December 1, 2024Dec 1 From today's "The Land" 2 new restaurants in Edgewater and Cudell: Two new businesses open in Cudell and Edgewater neighborhoods BY LEE CHILCOTE ● DEVELOPMENT, ECONOMY, ENTREPRENEURS ● NOVEMBER 26, 2024 A pair of new businesses, Edgewater Sub Shop and Dahlia Coffee Company, recently opened in Cleveland’s Cudell and Edgewater neighborhoods, bringing new energy and life to what were previously culinary dead zones. Edgewater Sub Shop, located at 8605 Detroit Ave. and open seven days a week, now offers hot and cold subs made fresh at an open counter in a bright, hip storefront. Situated smack dab between Lakewood and the Gordon Square Arts District, the area was a virtual sandwich desert until owner Amin “Vinny” Elkhatib and his brothers, Fathie and Adam, opened Edgewater Sub right next to the Boost Mobile store that is also owned by Elkhatib. Dahlia Coffee Company, a woman- and Latina-owned business, recently moved to the Cudell neighborhood, as well. The Mexican coffee shop, which is open 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and 9 am to 3 pm on Saturday and Sunday, is located in the former Scoot! Coffee location at 2085 W. 114th St. right off of Berea Road. The new, enlarged space offers the startup the ability to expand their menu and host more events, said owner Natalia Alcazar, thereby exposing more Clevelanders to the magic of Mexican coffee. https://thelandcle.org/stories/two-new-businesses-open-in-cudell-and-edgewater-neighborhoods/?utm_source=ActiveCampaign&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Latest stories from The Land for TODAY&utm_campaign=RSS Newslette

December 7, 2024Dec 7 Tick Tock Tavern closing after 75+ years By Ken Prendergast / December 6, 2024 It’s not often that a restaurant survives more than a few years. Rarer still is the restaurant that lasts nearly eight decades. Tick Tock Tavern, which has been at the same location, 11526 Clifton Blvd., in the Edgewater neighborhood of Cleveland since the last electric streetcars rumbled by in 1948, is set to close its doors forever in just 12 days.

December 22, 2024Dec 22 Dined at the freshly opened Friar’s Table restaurant (13th & Euclid) last evening. The neighborhood landed a gem. All the entrees are under $30, the food was so good, the service was fantastic, and the space is super cozy on a cold winter night. Brandon even stopped to chat at every table. What an incredible human being he is.
December 23, 2024Dec 23 ^ So good to hear. It is rare these days to have a restaurant owner on site and personally invested in that way. This neighborhood has the potential to be one of the best anywhere. It just needs more of everything. With the college being right there you would hope more amenities will come eventually.

January 23Jan 23 Good Pizza just opened on E. 4th Street in the old Citizen Pie location. The owner used to do pop-ups around town before this and has a Youtube channel. The pizza is NYC style and is very good, as in it would be legit good by NYC standards and not just "good for Ohio" standards. Pretty much just became the best in town IMO. First Look: Good Pizza, Opening on East 4th Street Wednesday, January 22
January 23Jan 23 ^ Looking forward to trying this place. Although I hope they’ve sorted out the ventilation in there. I loved Citizen Pie, but didn’t love standing in a cloud of kitchen vapor and my clothes smelling the rest of the day. My hovercraft is full of eels

When my family and I visited Cleveland in August, we stayed in University Circle and had dinner at Zhug.

As he was walking away, I thought, “wait, that looks like Doug Katz.” Sure enough, our server confirmed it was indeed him and that he does that all the time. From helping to clear, to polishing glasses, the server said he helps out in every way. I love to hear that.
