The Van Aken District - Shaker Heights

Good place to go walk around and get a drink or meal with a date, or family. You will pay though!

So many good restaurants. My personal recommendations are the Buffalo Chicken poutine from Banter, the fried chicken sandwich from Lox Stock and Brisket or anything from Brassica.

Love the ice cream here at Mitchell's. It's very fresh tasting. All natural and just plain delicious. The pistachio is to die for!

This was a nice little gem that I had never been to before. Loved the atmosphere and the food choices!!! Yummy!!!

What a fantastic renovation of this iconic venue! The shops are wonderful, especially the one where local artisans can rent a cubicle to showcase their creations. It's a brilliant concept. Brassica was an excellent choice for lunch.
