OMA’s Flavorite’s of the Week

by Steve Furlow
Looking for a great breakfast spot on the weekend!?! Well, may I suggest Grumpy's Cafe in Tremont, a place I only share with my CWRU friends! This West 14th Street staple may require you to get up early to secure a seat, but one bite of their delicious pancakes and you'll be happy you moved your feet. This family-owned business has been a part of Cleveland's foodie fabric since the 1990's. Losing the original space to a fire in 2004, the community outcry for Grumpy's to restore its presence and reopen its doors is a little bit of Cleveland lore. IYKYK! Like a catchy song, you must go and experience this groove personally, though I would never steer you wrong. Those omelets, home fries, and just the energy from the space make this a favorite suggestion for ingestion and you'll most certainly scrape the plate! 

DM OMA on IG if there is a food nearby,
that's reasonably priced that I should try.
I’ll chew and review it, because I cannot wait to share,
all the treats I love to eat, so all of Case can compare. 

Happy Sampling!

Celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival @CWRU

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional East Asian celebration that takes place on the 15th day of the 8th month of the Chinese calendar, which is in September or early October on the Gregorian calendar. It's a time for families to gather, admire the full moon, and enjoy mooncakes, a special pastry associated with the festival. The holiday symbolizes reunion and thanksgiving for the harvest, with customs like lantern displays and storytelling adding to the festive atmosphere.
