Hudson's Restaurant

Cleveland Scene and Cleveland Magazine have both covered this Hudson restaurant's winter transformation into Blitzen's, with Cleveland Magazine describing a pop-up that has evolved into a full blown holiday wonderland each winter. Cleveland Scene's own visit found leg lamps, a blinged out ornament wall and a station for decorating and eating gingerbread cookies. The regular restaurant bar gives way to a seasonal cocktail list built around the over the top decor. Order a seasonal cocktail, then sit down at the gingerbread station before the room gets too crowded.
