Cleveland Rocks!! Part 2

More fantastic art.

 


Across the room...

 


Closer...

 


Closest...with nose detail (remarkable!).

 


Our lunchtime haunt.

 


...with art of a different kind (hello Ghoulardi!!).

 


One of our absolutely delectable sandwiches!

 


I couldn't resist showing you a few more wonderful pieces of art from the Cleveland Art Museum...

...but the true focus of today's post is our lunch! :)

On our way home from the museum, we stopped in Cleveland Heights at the
Melt Bar and Grilled...

...and oh, my...was the food delicious!

Their extensive beer list runs to 3 pages...

...but they're best known for their gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches...

...and these are sandwiches like I'd never before seen!

They stuff them with things like meatballs, fried walleye, lasagne and pierogi...

...and the coleslaw, fries and the fresh bread that they're made from are absolutely yummy, too!

It's a fun and funky dining experience...

...with menus printed on the backs of old record albums, a 'famous people' mural wall...

...all-season holiday decorations, and even the original tin ceiling!

It was perfect for us peckish museum goers...

...and I highly recommend it if you're ever in the neighborhood!!

Cleveland Rocks!! Part 1

From the collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art.

 


Check out this saturated color!

 


James Tissot, I love you!

 


This modern-looking 'Star-Gazing Woman' was actually carved around
3000 BC!!

 


One of my favorite nudes in the museum...I love the expression on his face (pride and a little bit of wonder, too).

 


Eeek!

 


Auguste Rodin's bronze 'The Thinker'.

 


Although I've been an 'East Coast girl' for a number of years, now...

...I'm still a true Midwesterner at heart.

This weekend, we spent a lovely day in my hometown, Cleveland, Ohio...

...and had a wonderful time!

For those of you who've never had the opportunity to visit this delightful city or museum...

...I say, put it on your 'to do' list NOW!! :)

The Cleveland Museum of Art has an amazing, eclectic collection...

...that's sure to have something for everyone!

Since it's currently under renovation, some of my favorite pieces have been squirreled away for a time...

...but here are a few tasty morsels! :)

Next time: Sandwiches that will make you weep with joy!
