The West Side Market

...Continued from yesterday: 
     On Saturday morning we checked out of the Marriott Residence and drove to Rocky River, another of Cleveland's lake shore suburbs,

...to visit our nephew Jason,

...who was baching it  with the poochies (and two kitties, who refused to pose for the  shot) while his wife Rachel was out for the day.
     After our visit with Jason we headed back to the city for a visit to Cleveland's West Side Market,
Picture
...a massive food market dating from the turn of the 20th Century.
     The West Side Market is located in the heart of a hip West Side neighborhood called Ohio City
Picture
Picture
...crowded with interesting shops,
Picture
Picture
Picture
...restaurants,
...architecture,
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
...and people.
Picture
    The West Side Market was also crowded with Saturday shoppers,
Picture
Picture
...and many attractive - and some unusual  - wares,
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
...including the most gorgeous breads and pastries.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
   Above the market area was a place where shoppers could take a break, sit and have a snack while watching the activity below.
Picture
Picture
   Leading up to one shop called Steve's  Gyros was a line that snaked all the way back to the one of the entrances. 
    "Why is this line so long?" asked one shopper.
   "Because this place has the best gyros in the world," replied another.

     Next to the main market was the produce market,
Picture
...where vendors offered the most beautiful-looking fruits, vegetables and flowers.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
     After our tour of the market we decided to seek lunch in the surrounding environs,
...where we came across an interesting-looking sub shop called Dave's, which claimed to have the best subs in Cleveland.
Picture
     Our subs were good,
...Tom's Cordon Bleu,
Picture
Picture
...and my Vege-tarian,
Picture
...and the fries were very good, nice and hot and crispy,
....though we were skeptical about the claim of these fitting the genre of the best subs in Cleveland.  Maybe we're just too big of Subway fans. Tom and I do love our Subway subs.
     However we did find the decor quite wonderful,
Picture
Picture
...perhaps an extension of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame motif.
Picture
    After lunch we drove back towards downtown Cleveland to have a look at The Flats,
...an area along the Cuyahoga River that used to be the industrial heart of Cleveland,
Picture
Picture
...but that in more recent years has become an area of gentrification with a lively night-life scene.
Picture
Picture
     Then our visit to Cleveland was over and we headed back to Columbus.
Picture
   But we'll be back.
