The last few weeks have been filled with exhaustion, thanks to a cold that we’ve been passing throughout the house and a baby that is teething; but in between the sickies and the sleepless nights, I wound up getting out of the house not once but 2 whole times for fun events with friends.
First came a blogger meetup at The South Side for Chef Natasha Pogrebinsky’s fall menu preview. Even though I was exhausted and a big part of me wanted to stay home snuggled up in bed with Mila, I decided to venture out. I’m so glad I did.
I was able to meet up with some of my favorite local bloggers and enjoy a night of wonderful conversation, laughter, and fantastic food.
Oh, and rumor has it that The South Side has a pretty killer Bloody Mary on the weekends. I’ll definitely be returning to check it out.
The next big adventure was the Best of Cleveland Party at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Our two VIP tickets not only meant that Chad and I could go on our first real baby-free night since Mila was born 4 months ago, but also that we could visit the Rock Hall and check out all of the 2018 winners of various food, drinks, and live music.
Sometimes a little bit of (extra) exhaustion is worth the fun, right? Absolutely, totally right. Thanks for being so awesome, Cleveland. You continue to amaze me. ♥ ♥
OMG everything looks so amazing!
This all looks so good! What a fun time!
It’s 8am and now I want to eat all of that!! LOL! What a fun night out!!
Oh my gosh what a fun week! Both these events look like an absolute blast. What a great week!
Wow! This all sounds so scrumptious!!! What a fun night out with the hubby to enjoy food, drinks, and dancing!
Yes to everything on that menu! I’m drooling and lunch is way too far away!
Added to my travel list! That food looks insanely good!
This looks so riduclously good! My husband and I are all about finding great food options.
This looks like a lot of fun. And the food is making me hungry over here.
Have to love those nights when you can have a moment to yourself! The food at The South Side looks amazing!
This all sounds really great. Glad you could get out to enjoy a night (or two) away so important! I would love to get to the rock and roll hall of fame. I have been to cleveland, but didnt visit it!
That food looks delicious! I’m glad you were able to have a good time despite the exhaustion.
AFter 36 days of worrying (my husband was in the hospital for that long), I am thankful we are home. Hopefully, when my husband regains his strength, we can go out on a date again. You sure found great places to dine there!
I hope everyone is feeling well again. Those flat-breads look amazing!
Looks like so much fun! I miss big city stuff.
The food looks amazing! What a fun time!
girl, you’re making me so hungry!
