14532 Lake Avenue, Lakewood, OH 44107, (216) 529-5697
Near and dear to both of us as a Lakewood staple. The solstice steps are a beautiful place to sit, relax and look at Lake Erie. If you take the brick path along the water, you'll see a bit of downtown Cleveland between the trees.
Edgewater Beach is a great place to pretend we live somewhere picturesque in the summers. Although it's no Lake Placid or Acadia National Park, we think it's a nice place to sink into some sand, BYOB and relax.
Rocky River Reservation
Valley Parkway, North Olmsted, OH 44070
Rocky River Reservation has beautiful forest views and many trails of varying difficulty. We walked here throughout our childhoods and then together during nursing school.
West Side Market Café
1979 West 25th Street, Cleveland, OH 44113, (216) 579-6800
Our most frequented post-nightshift breakfast place! It's a small diner connected to the West Side Market where you can find some of our favorite local venders - Pierogi Palace, Jim's Meats and Ohio City Pasta.
