Local Bus service – Mahalls 20 Lanes is located on Madison Avenue. The bus that runs down Madison is the 25. It will take you across Lakewood to the west and downtown Cleveland to the east.

Parallel to Madison is Detroit Avenue which is a bit more useful and has the 26 bus. This bus will take you to the ROOT cafe as well as the Public Library.

The one of the girl making espresso if my friend Tatiana (Totty, or Tot) I’ve known her since I was 11 years old.

Cabs – Uber and lyft are the only options these days.

ACCOMODATIONS

AirBnb’s are the way to go!! Lakewood has plenty and they are clean and affordable.

If you want to stay downtown, which is also really accessible by public transit, just google
hotels in Cleveland. They are pretty affordable. I mean, it’s Cleveland

Days Inn – DO NOT STAY HERE. BEDBUGS have been found here.

PLACES IN LAKEWOOD :

The MOST IMPORTANT to mention is THE ROOT CAFE

My friend Julie Hutchison purchased the original Coffee shop, The Lakewood Phoenix back in 1996. I remember going there as a young teenager and smoking cigarettes out front with my hoodlum friends. A few years ago she and her husband Bobby Brightenstein expanded to another storefront in the same building and began serving amazing vegetarian, vegan, and raw food. A staff of one became a staff of six and there is always a line at the counter.

We will be having morning coffee pilgrimages from the Root to Mahalls to start each of our days. This place is where I grew up and the stories are endless. I even lived in the basement for a time when I was a kid.

BARROCO – Colombian food at it’s finest. Just two blocks east of Mahalls this place has been super popular amongst our guests for years.

ANGELO’S PIZZA – THE BEST PIZZA EVER. I challenge you to find a better pizza. This place is  walk ing distance to the venue. It is my favorite pizza ever!! Deep Dish Crust. Oh yeah baby. Even Tom Hanks eats there!

LBM – Cocktail bar with great food and LOUD music just a few blocks east of Mahalls as well.

Cleveland Vegan – For our non-meat eaters who want great food. This place is recommended by EVERYONE. It’s little further away, but still in Lakewood.

MALLEYS CHOCOLATE AND ICE CREAM PARLOR – The Original Malleys Chocolate opened in Lakewood in 1935. The 2nd store, which is the one currently still operated, was opened in 1949. This place is a piece of history. I highly recommend a stroll down Madison Ave to check it out.

PLACES IN CLEVELAND 10 MINUTES OR LESS DRIVE. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

GREAT LAKES BREWERY Located less than a 5 minute walk from the Cleveland Hostel this Brewery opened in 1988 and was the FIRST in the state of Ohio after an era of drought in the state. Today they produce over 100,00 barrels annually and ship to 13 states and DC. (Unfortunately not New York yet.)

The food is delicious and each dish comes with a recommended beer which is always served on tap! Here is an image of the outdoor patio which is a great place to relax.
