An absolutely essential destination in Cleveland
Don't believe any of the rot out there about West Side Market's glory days being done, or about it being a ghost town. We went on a Friday morning, and while there were a few empty spaces most of the vendors were there, along with lots of customers. It was fabulous: you can buy some of the best butcher meat, deli meat, cheese, fish, and pastries anywhere in the city, and you can wander around inside of a gorgeous 100-year old building. Also, there is some really fantastic produce in the space outside of the building if you take the time to look. Yes, the shopkeepers are a little pushy, but all you have to say is "no thanks" if you don't want a sample. The parking is free for the first 90 mins. Go and soak it all in. It's a unique gem of a place. I never miss it when I'm in the Cleveland area.

Terrific public food market
A historic Cleveland food market with vendors selling high quality meat, fish, produce, baked goods, etc. Prices seemed a bit high - but as tourists we were mainly admiring the place and not buying much. Very few cities in the U.S. have this large and varied a market in continuous operation as this one. Definitely a fun visit! There are also various restaurants in the immediate area.
