There are few things more peaceful than an outdoor hike, and the Bedford Reservation offers Cleveland-area residents the perfect outdoor escape. This well-maintained park is laid out in a way that’s accessible to people and families of all ages, with clearly marked signs, ample parking, and trails of all difficulty levels. Numerous picnic areas offer shady spots for an afternoon lunch outdoors, and these areas also include playground equipment for younger visitors to play on.

Though the park is full of natural amenities, it’s the waterfalls that really steal the show. The Bedford Reservation is home to many different waterfalls, including Tinker’s Creek, which drops an impressive 220 feet over the course of just two miles!

The Bedford Reservation hosts many community activities, including golf tournaments on its Shawnee Hills Golf Course. To view hiking or biking trails, visit the reservation’s informative website. The reservation is open 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily.

DiBella’s Old Fashioned Submarines claims to create the best subs you’ve ever tasted, and if you listen to the word on the street, it seems that they’ve succeeded.

Just as the name suggests, DiBella’s operates just like an old fashioned sandwich shop, from its family-run business model right down to its fresh baked bread that never comes from a bag. Regulars rave about sub classics like the Philly cheesesteak and the buffalo chicken sandwich, which are made with freshly sliced meats and rich, flavorful cheeses. These subs are larger than most, and because DiBella’s puts such an emphasis on their bread, they certainly use a lot of it.

While most sub shops operate with more of a grab-and-go style, DiBella’s invites its guests to sit and stay a while. The interior is decorated with attractive tin ceilings and vintage details much like those of a soda shop. The numerous sub “stations” attend to more than one customer at once, so your experience is personalized, and your service is always fast and friendly.

Corky & Lenny’s is a full service restaurant and catering service that has served the Cleveland area for more than 55 years, and it’s established itself as a beloved community spot during that time. The classic American restaurant offers a large menu full of breakfast foods, salads, sandwiches, and homestyle favorites, and everything is available for low prices that make dining with the family affordable. The folks working behind the charming deli counter at the front of the restaurant always greet guests with a smile, and the whole restaurant has a loud, busy feel that’s similar to a New York deli.

Regulars love Corky & Lenny’s corned beef and pastrami sandwiches, and the pickles that come on the side are always a hit. The catering menu includes very large trays of sandwiches, cheeses, cakes, and bagels, and the restaurant promises to ship anywhere within the United States.
