> Are there any food places you particularly miss?

Yes, several in the Cleveland area that are no more. Miller's Dining Room
and Miller's Country Place. The former opened in the 1920s as a "tea
room" in lakewood, but soon expanded to serving simple but superbly
prepared dinners. Absolutely everything served there was made from scratch
on the premises. The Country Place opened some years later in Westlake.
They were family owned. When the owners were ready to retire they simply
closed both places. The were reopened some time later by another owner and
it was miserable.

The New York Spaghetti House in downtown Cleveland, an institution since
the early part of the 20th century. Some of the waitstaff there had been
with the resaurant since the day it opened. Very original sauces and food
preparations.

The Atrium in Bay Village was like being nestled in a greenhouse. The food
offered was both fusion and traditional. The best veal chops and saddle of
lamb I have ever eaten. They lasted about two decades before their doors
closed, and they were extremely popular and busy 'til the end. I don't
know what they closed.

Numerous others I could probably think of, since I lived in Cleveland for
43 years.
