Situated on the outskirts of downtown Cleveland, The West Side Market is home to a myriad of some of the most extraordinary foods you could ever eat. The glorified food is surrounded by dozens of talented butchers, chefs, & bakers, & every food stand is accompanied by its own unique story.

Those hot dogs & brats from the man with the accent? He’s sold to everyone from Barack Obama to Iron Chef Michael Symon. The fresh pasta that ranges from ravioli to spaghetti and everything in between? Started almost eighteen years ago as a one man organization who persevered until his pasta was sold in almost every major restaurant in Cleveland.  The sweet lady selling pastries & bread? She began her career as a butcher at this exact location.

The innumerable stories, food, & people create an extraordinary experience that any self-proclaimed foodie visiting Cleveland can’t miss.
