same Cleveland, new Flats.
A million miles from ordinary.
Just minutes from home.
Lago
Lago first debuted on August 27,
2006 as the first Italian restaurant in
the historic Tremont neighborhood
of Cleveland. Opened by noted chef
and restauranteur Fabio Salerno and
his wife Nicole, the pair wanted to
create a blend of contemporary and
northern tradition Italian cuisine
perfectly paired with wines from
Italy’s finest regions while welcoming
warm relationships within the
close knit community. After six
successful and memorable years in
the charming Tremont, an opportunity
arose that was an offer the Salerno’s
couldn’t refuse! Lago, which means
lake in Italian, was moving to the
revitalized waterfront property on the
East Bank of the Flats bringing chef-
owner Fabio Salerno back where his
career first took flight ( and where he
and his wife first met)!
Fabio and Nicole Salerno share
the cities excitement for the rebirth
of the Flats and the opportunity to be
even more involved in the growth of
the city. Lago will be everything you
have grown to expect & love while
embracing a new neighborhood to be
a part of.
Ken Stewart’s
Ken Stewart’s East Bank is
now open in the burgeoning Flats
East Bank complex. The restaurant
is located on the ground level of
Aloft Cleveland Downtown hotel,
which celebrated its grand opening
last weekend.Long anticipated by
local food and wine enthusiasts,
Ken Stewart’s East Bank is the
latest addition to Ohio’s popular
Ken Stewart Restaurant Group that
also includes Ken Stewart’s Grille,
Ken Stewart’s Tre Belle, and Ken
Stewart’s Lodge.The new Cleveland
location will offer cuisine similar
to the original location in Akron,
including generous portions of
delectable steaks, seafood, global
cuisine, and an award-winning wine
list of more than 200 wine selections.
As a nod to its waterfront
location, the restaurant features
a nautical theme with an actual
porthole linking the lounge and
dining room. A glass-enclosed
fireplace and smokestack-style
chandeliers above each booth pay
quiet homage to the city’s industrial
history. The contemporary design
includes almost 200 guest seats –
including eight at the chef’s counter
for those foodies who want to get
up close to the action in the open
kitchen. The facility also features
an elegant patio (opening soon)
and a private dining area with flat
screen televisions for meetings and
presentations.Ken Stewart’s upscale
design provides an appropriate
setting for the exquisite cuisine.
Noted for high-quality, impeccably
prepared steaks, the restaurant
serves USDA Prime that’s been aged
for at least 28 days.
The Willeyville
What is the Willeyville? A
restaurant and bar that focuses on
seasonal American comfort food
with a twist….making as much on
premise as we can.
What is American comfort
food? America is a melting pot so
we draw upon what the heck we
would want to eat at the time, while
keeping in mind that our food should
be familiar in either look or taste.
Nobody likes a food snob nor would
you want your chef to be one either.
We have fun pushing the envelope
and hope that our guest’s appreciate
our drive, but our first goal is to make
sure we are hospitable. Don’t get
me wrong we do have some foodie
words on our menu but chances are
I had to look up the spelling and I
know I mispronounced the words.
What Else Can You Do? We
have a full scale scratch baking
program that is focused on old world
baking methods which we can tailor
to your needs both wholesale and
retail. We also offer a number of our
handcrafted consumables for sale at
the restaurant or online.
Why do you make your own
ketchup?
We make
way more than
just our own
ketchup, but
to answer that
specifically, why
not? Cooking is
fun for us and
opening up a can of ketchup kind of
sucks. Our ketchup like a bunch of
our other stuff is very familiar with a
small hint of something different. We
also make hot sauce, yeast, bread,
tofu, miso, vinegar, grind our own
flour, tortillas, cheese, salumi, etc.
So your kitchen may do all
this but your bar suffers right?
We take the same approach to
our bar program. We make bitters,
limoncello, tonic, vermouth, and
ginger beer. I have a soft spot for our
Moscow Mule which I hear is at the
very least tied for best in the world,
the Kremlin’s is supposed to be
gangbusters.
So what is the deal with
the Willey Wieners? Hot dogs
are delicious ours are just a whole
lot more delicious, 100% all pork
supplied from Miller Livestock
Kinsman, OH. We grind, case, twist,
and smoke the weiner’s twice a week
along with our steamed brioche
buns. We are quite proud of our
wieners….you need to have one in
your mouth soon and often. They are
available at lunch and at the bar all
day and night.
So what is up with the name,
The Willeyville? It is an homage to
John Willey who was the first major
of Cleveland in the 1830’s. For a 20
yr span this area, or close to this
area, was referred as Willeyville,
pronounced Why-lee-ville….do we
know it is pronounced like that, well
no…but the other way sounds like a
strip club!

we wanted to go beyond most
fitness clubs, so we decided to
add the functional training area

Cross Train, Human Sport and TRX
suspension training. This is an
alternative to individual personal
training, consisting of a small group
of 5-8 members to ensure personal
attention and instruction.

professional individuals that have
been handpicked, screened and
tested to provide you the best

In 21 IncarnatIons sInce It
began as a populist experiment at
Cleveland State University’s Art Gallery
in 1983, the People’s Art Show has
become one of the region’s largest,
most eclectic exhibitions. Always
unjuried and uncensored, it is free and
open to anyone and everyone. With
(almost) no rules, artists have earned
national attention in the past for their
outlandish works. Will this year’s
exhibition bring outrage? Controversy?
Probably. At the very least, it usually
manages to upset someone. This
Thursday, Oct. 30, from 5 to 8 p.m.,
the Galleries at CSU host an opening
reception for this year’s show.
The People’s Art Show originated
based on two fundamental ideas — that
everyone is naturally an artist and
that people intuitively understand art
without any assistance from “experts.”
“The show was conceived to serve
ordinary people free from snobbery,
elitism, and pretension — no curators,
no professionals, and no taste police,”
explains gallery director Robert
Thurmer. “The people themselves
would determine what is in the show
— every participant an artist, every
artist a curator — no questions asked,
nothing refused.”
Over the years, this open-door
policy has inspired some very
interesting works, as well as a New
York Times article in 1992, and even
earned Thurmer a phone call from
radio host Howard Stern to discuss
the controversy on air. Despite heavy
pressure from the outside, as well as
from the administration, Thurmer
loyally defended the artists’ freedom to
express themselves. Some exceptions
have been made however. Most notably,
the show has become a biennial, and
some rules have been put in place for
works that are illegal or dangerous to
visitors. Still, the gallery staff does its
best to include everyone and everything
that walks through the doors.
This year’s show is the second
People’s Art Show since the gallery
moved to its beautiful, new(-ish)
location in the former home of the
Cowell & Hubbard jewelry story next
to Playhouse Square in downtown’s
Theater District. As usual, the
exhibition is hung salon-style, with
works covering nearly every inch of
the gallery’s walls. The entries span
the full spectrum of traditional and
non-traditional media in both two- and
three-dimensions by artists of all ages,
backgrounds and skill levels.
Sure, not every entry is a
masterpiece, but the show itself
is worth celebrating. The People’s
Art Show is an opportunity for our
community to unite around art made
by our talented, passionate residents.
It’s the only large-scale, community-
centered exhibition in the region that
is completely free and open to the
public, as both participant and viewer.
Sometimes money can become too
