This is where Fairlawn comes in. From the Eastside or the Westside it is easily accessible and well worth the drive. (I sound like a Sedlak's commercial)
The first place I like to visit is The Westpoint Market. There is a wonderful cafeteria type restaurant inside the store with delicious lunch selections. At least six fresh soups everyday, that are accompanied by rolls from the oven *replenished often*. Sandwiches, salads, sides, potato chips in small cello bags with a WPM sticker ( it all in the details for me) make this one of my favorite luncheon spots. Be sure and take a container of the chicken noodle soup home to freeze.....for the next time you get a cold, it's the best.
There are wonderful things to see that are not in main stream grocery stores. Specialty items from other countries, the meats and fish are the best and don't even get me started on those little cakes in the bakery. They have a nice selection of Williamsburg placemats and aprons, cookbooks, candles and pretty much everything you want but don't need. The wine store, in the front, is well stocked and has splits of many good champagnes (often hard to find).
The prepared foods are excellent, the single serving meatloaves are a favorite of my husband, but I am a chicken potpie lady! They can be purchased frozen and I usually bring two home for that 'emergency' evening when you need dinner but have no time to shop or cook. The oven does the work.
Westpoint Market is reason enough to visit Fairlawn, but if your in the area, TRY and stop in Home Goods, just down the street. It's the only Home Goods in the area (the rest are combined with TJ Maxx or Marshalls)
All in all, this is a lovely day and not far from home, where you can find things that are not available in the stores in Cleveland. Have a gracious and elegant day.....they're the best. (Suggestion: bring a cooler so you can bring home frozen items, without worry).
Bye, bye for now.
