Best of luck with the move! We have so many places we love to eat and drink in Cleveland and Pittsburgh - Youngstown is such a good home base for exploring both of them.
Thank you so much, Amy! I would love to hear any of your recommendations, I am just starting to make a list of places I want to visit. Apteka in Pittsburgh is high on the list. I also want to try Larder Delicatessen & Bakery in Cleveland. Need to make a separate list of bakeries I want to visit.
Thank you so much, Amy! I’m going to be reading and referencing your posts a lot as I make my new google map 🗺️ I really appreciate you sharing some of your favorite places. I love pizza and Chinese food so much, there’s a Szechuan place here locally that I’m really gonna miss and a northern style Chinese food truck, I’m always on the look out for regional Chinese food. Love Thai food! Adding all these places right now.
Thank you! That would be so fun! I can’t wait to visit Cleveland, haven’t been since I saw Explosions in the Sky there back in ‘06 or ‘07. I’m super excited about finding as much good food as I can here.
You and Partner and kitties are coming to a home that is YOURS as much as it is mine.....I have enjoyed preparing it for you and we will pull our energies together to make it a comfortable place in which you all can HEAL and think clearly, for change is the way of this life. Do not fear it. We are in it together. Christmas day you will see the family at Aunt Donna's but I must warn you, we all are looking forward to your baking of any item of your choice.!! The schedule will be up to you both and you both are in control of your time and space and destiny. We are here to help. Ohio and winter is so cool and hiking is in the forecast!. See whatever towns you choose and REST!!! RELAX and let the creativity flow. I love your beloved sister and wish the best for her. You and your family as well as mine are always in my thoughts and hopes and prayers. Sit back now and enjoy the ride!!!! (I have always love change, it creates opportunity)
All the best with your move. Summer kitchens is one of my favourite books. I love Olia’s food philosophy!
Thank you, Lucy! So lovely to hear, Olia is a big inspiration of mine.
I’m enjoying reading yours too of course!!

Larder is great! Cordelia is doing fantastic takes on Midwestern food (https://americanweekender.substack.com/p/cordelia-cleveland-ohio-best-restaurants). Cents for pizza, and Abundance and LJ Shanghai for Chinese food. Also covered a bunch of good bars here (https://americanweekender.substack.com/p/bar-crawl-cleveland-ohio).
In Pittsburgh, Pusadee’s Kitchen for Thai is superb. Also big fan of Driftwood Oven and Morcilla.

I’m just catching up on newsletters and see that you’re in Ohio!!! Welcome! It’d be amazing to meet sometime over good food!!!
