Daisy's · Slavic Village
Cleveland Magazine visits this Fleet Avenue stand for soft serve, sundaes and the kind of savory snacks that turn an ice cream stop into a full neighborhood outing. Daisy's operates seasonally in Slavic Village, pairing frozen treats with hot dogs and other counter fare from its longtime walk up window.
Parkview Nite Club · Detroit Shoreway
Parkview Nite Club serves a fried chicken dinner and Nashville hot chicken from a longstanding neighborhood tavern near the lake. Cleveland Scene explicitly names Parkview in its fried chicken results, and the dishes remain on the current menu. The West Fifty Eighth Street room pairs the chicken with inexpensive drinks, live blues and old Cleveland atmosphere.
Tapatias Taqueria · Jefferson
Tapatias Taqueria is a no-frills, family-run taqueria on Lorain Avenue, with a wooden bar, cozy booths, and its own salsa bar. The kitchen keeps things simple with street tacos priced by the each, from fish and asada to barbacoa. Cleveland Magazine groups it with the neighborhood taquerias worth seeking out for honest, inexpensive Mexican plates.
