We had visited a number of Primanti Bros locations in the past, including their stores in Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania as well as Youngstown, Ohio and had memorable visits each time. We were lucky enough to be invited to the original Primanti Bros location in Pittsburgh’s Strip District and were quite impressed with the overall experience. When you first go into the location you will be shocked at the overall level of business…
The Oglebay Resort (Wheeling, West Virginia) has a number of distinct features that will interest all members of the family. Whether there for a night or for an extended stay, visitors will be challenged to exhaust all of the attractions and experiences that the property offers.
We had an opportunity to stop at BurgerFi, one of the main tenants that have sprung up by the Giant Eagle Market District in the Cuyahoga Falls neighborhood of Akron, Ohio. We were treated to quick service, large portions, and a hands-on owner that made our experience a delightful one.
We have operated our health and fitness section at NeuFutur for a number o fyears but have not had a product that is equally able to benefit younger and older members of the family. While a great many strollers make it possible to bring young children on longer or more remote journeys, a number of them require that parents or caretakers have to take a more leisurely pace. Joovy has…
Long-time readers of NeuFutur will notice that our coverage has changed over the years. We initially began as a music magazine, expanded into movies, and gradually added health and fitness and travel sections in the last few years. The wife and I had our first child, and as a result, the type of material that we covered has changed again. We were invited to a Cleveland institution, the Glidden House,…
We do not nearly make it to Korean restaurants often enough, but I always make it a point to pick up a bowl of bibimbap when we do visit. A new chain – BiBiBop Asian Grill – came to our attention a few months back that seeks to make the dish (and Korean cuisine) more known to the dining public of the Columbus, Ohio area. We were invited to evaluate their Henderson (1836…
We were invited to evaluate O’Charley’s new menu focused on their love of Southern cuisine. Over the course of appetizers, entrees and desserts we were thoroughly impressed at the breast all of the offerings at this restaurant gives to their visitors.
The Rodizio Grill in Columbus, Ohio is an attraction that one should visit should they find themselves in the city limits. Located in the Arena District, the restaurant is inviting sitting prominently on a corner. After getting a reservation, the process is an easy one; visit the skillful front of the house greeter and one will rapidly be seated. The appetizers that your meal starts one with are also a…
On our trip down to the Columbus area we were able to drive on Interstate 76 until we got to the exit immediately before its terminus with Interstate 71. We decided to get off the road and get into a restaurant. We found a rarity around this part, a franchise of the storied Huddle House chain. Huddle House is for those uninitiated a restaurant with hundreds of locations available through…
The Tilted Kilt was kind enough to invite us in their Canton, Ohio establishment last week. While there, we experienced a number of their plates. We began the meal with a scotch egg; this appetizer was perfectly service but could stand to include a bit more in the way of sausage. The Perfect Patron Marguerita was built off of Patrón Silver Tequila base and completed through the inclusion of Monin…
We stopped by the Winking Lizard / Lizardville in Copley, Ohio for a dinner and had one of our more memorable Akron-area meals. The restaurant was quick to seat us and let us know about the ample beer selection, before starting us off with their Loaded Lizard Nachos and Cheese ($7.29). The Loaded Nachos were large enough to sate the appetites of three or four guests, topped with two types…
Housecore Horror Festival is a joyous occasion. Last year I had a blast in Austin and this year in San Antonio was no different. I drove up on a sunny Friday afternoon and entered the Holiday Inn around 2:00PM. The vendors were starting to set up and I had a quick chat with Bill Mosley of such legendary horror masterpieces as Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Devil’s Rejects. What a…
Bennigan’s has been a part of the American cultural landscape since 1976, and the company has taken it upon themselves to refresh and revitalize their offerings while keeping the same sort of friendly ambiance and authentic Irish fare. Along the way, Bennigan’s has included healthier options and have retooled others. We stopped in for a dinner at the Mt. Pleasant, Michigan location of Bennigan’s and were impressed at the overall…
A few months back, Teriyaki Madness opened in Akron. Any time we had driven out West Market Street, we always mused about stopping in. After a few months, we were ultimately able to visit. The restaurant is inviting without a hint of pretense, setting up the counter at the front of the location. When one puts in their order, they are greeted with a number of proteins (Spicy and normal…
There are a number of different BRAVO! Cucina Italiana locations scattered through our normal stomping grounds, but we had yet to visit the restaurant. We stopped into the BRAVO! Cucina Italiana location at the Summit Mall in Fairlawn, Ohio for dinner and had a memorable experience. The meal started with their inimitable herb bread and a spiced olive oil dip. The restaurant’s Calamari Fritti ($12.99) were succulent bites of calamari…
BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse is a fast-casual restaurant that is rapidly expanding through the Ohio market. Someone stopping in for a lunch or dinner will be pleasantly surprised about the depth of BJ’s menu, which ranges from pizzas to fish dishes, burgers to steaks and everything in between.
I have visited Columbus, Ohio’s North Market a number of times since I was a youth, and for the longest time all that the second floor of the facilities were used for was to break free of the hubbub downstairs.
Jason’s Deli in Polaris (Columbus, Ohio area) was a surprisingly-impressive experience when one considers that a couple can eat in at the restaurant for around $20. The ordering process is simple and allows for a great variant of customization, no matter whether one orders one of the restaurant’s dishes or chooses to craft their own sandwich. The restaurant has a large amount of freebies, including a bevy of crackers, pickles,…
The Hard Rock Cleveland was founded in July of 1998 and retains some of the old-school rock charm which the city is known. The restaurant is ornately decorated with ample amounts of classically-stained wood and brass.
The weather has been a little on the wonky side the last few days, but the Jacobs Pavilion is covered and spirits could not be higher for Zedd’s True Colors Tour date Wednesday, September 30th. Current weather seems to portend a normal autumn northeast Ohio night, with 20% chance of rain and a high of 63. The venue is going to run a lot hotter tomorrow night.
