Aura–Thank you so much for taking the time to comment about this post. I really wanted to illustrate how much good stuff there is at the market and in Ohio in general, for the foodie to enjoy. People often think it’s only the major ciities that facilitate good-eats, but with such a rich ethnic heritage in Cleveland, the culinary finds rival any other metropolitan area. Thanks again!

Back in the late ’70’s, I went to art school in Cleveland (CIA). Every week, on my day off, I rode public transportation (in Cleveland!) to the West Side Market to buy my food. I LOVED the market in what was otherwise not a foodie town: fresh fish, locally made cheeses, apricot butter, sour rye bread, the best ‘brats’, fresh produce that was not wrapped in plastic. The market is open all year and remains a gem, reflecting the ever richer ethnic mix of the city these days. Though I live in SF and thrive on markets here, I go back every time I visit Cleveland, and bring my husband’s family in hopes they’ll frequent it.

Growing up in Ohio I have been to Cleveland a million times but never the West Side Market. It looks amazing. I immediately noticed the squid ink pasta and I started to salivate….yum!
