A weekend of events right up CLE on the Cheap’s
alley is about to begin. You’ve already read about Holiday Circlefest. Some of University
Circle’s neighbors are welcoming visitors with free and discounted events of
their own.
Little Italy’s Holiday Art Walk is tonight through Sunday. You can
check out the shops and galleries for free, but maybe you’ll find something to
buy as well. The restaurants also will be open. If you can walk through that
neighborhood without stopping for Italian food, you are a stronger person than
I.
As locals know, parking is a challenge in Little
Italy. Don’t forget there’s an RTA
stop on Mayfield Road. Take the Red Line from west or east, and put
the “walk” in Holiday Art Walk if you’re up to it. Turn left on Mayfield from
the station, and let the enticing aroma lead the way. The Circle Link is another option for getting
around University
Circle, Little Italy, Uptown
and Coventry.
There is a visitors center at 12010 Mayfield,
where you can get directions and pick up maps and brochures. There also is one
at 11330 Euclid Ave., not far from the Museum of
Contemporary Art Cleveland and the Cleveland Institute of Art in the Uptown
neighborhood. MOCA and CIA are part of the weekend celebration, too. MOCA will
have free admission Saturday, as it does the first
Saturday of every month. It also offers a discounted admission of $5
after 5 p.m. every Friday, and free admission every day for kids younger than
18. And this weekend there will be free admission on Sunday, too. Just a couple
of blocks away, CIA is having its Student Holiday Sale Friday night and
Saturday.
Now, don’t try to tell me there’s nothing to do
around here.
