Downtown Cleveland loses a beloved Italian spot

Osteria’s doors are closed in downtown Cleveland, leaving a big gap for anyone who loves a good plate of pasta and a cozy night out. After more than 20 years of serving the community, the restaurant had to shut down because the building owner is closing the property. The good news? Owner Al Cefaratti says this is just a pause, not a goodbye—he’s already looking for a new spot to bring Osteria back. Anyone else hoping their next location keeps that same neighborhood charm? Share your favorite Osteria memories or thoughts on what makes a great local restaurant! #Food #ClevelandEats #Osteria

Cleveland’s hot dog stands heat up in the cold

Cleveland’s hot dog stands are busier than ever—even as temperatures plunge close to zero! Locals are braving the icy wind for a warm, classic bite, turning these humble stands into unexpected winter hotspots. It’s wild to see people bundled up, hands wrapped around steaming hot dogs, chatting with neighbors and vendors.

Denver’s Whiskey Row building hits the market again

With Riot House next door already shuttered, some are wondering what’s next for this lively downtown block. The building’s still fully leased to Whiskey Row for six more years, but the ownership change could mean new vibes or even more changes in LoDo. For those who love the area’s nightlife or have memories at Whiskey Row, what do you think this means for the future of Denver’s downtown scene? #Food #Denver #LoDo
