Clevelanders are constantly so quick to point out how the Great Lake Erie is our greatest asset. One that needs to be recognized, honored and enjoyed. However, every time the weather gets somewhat nice (which is quite often in the summer months) I would like nothing better than to find a nice restaurant with views of the lake that aren't buried under the stench of rotting fish flocking to the warms waters of the Cleveland Electric Company - or whatever that steam producing factory is (Sorry Quay 55 restaurant) or overlooking a salt mine (Sorry Harp) from which to enjoy views of the lake, a nice sandwich or salad and a couple of delicious local beers. Why is this so hard to accomplish? If anyone has any suggestions I am more than open to hear them. To note Pier W has fantastic views and menu and Lakehouse Cafe offers a nice place for lazy weekend brunch overlooking the lake while sipping coffee, so there are some options. Amazingly the city seems to turn its back on its celebrated lake when it comes to recognizing the import of something to lazily stare at or for sharing a sunset. Whats up with that? Is there some economic model that prevents places from opening up with views of Lake Erie? Fear of flying saucers or noticing Canada? *as a personal memo, last time I wanted a burger on the lake the ladyfriend and I headed out to Sandusky via Lake Ave (route 6). Partially because by the time we got out there we had given up looking and settled for sandwiches in downtown Sandusky (historic) which was dead for a downtown, blocks from the lake (no view). Argh.
