People and Lifestyle

Cleveland Park is a historic neighborhood with a romantic countryside feel. It almost feels out of place in the big city, but the big homes and private residences create a more neighborly community than the urban neighborhoods around it. Mostly a residential area, it’s home to a number of historical monuments and properties, but with a friendly, upbeat vibe. One of the surprising experiences here is the way nature and the city come together with tree-lined streets, larger yards, and exceptional green space to create a peaceful retreat.

 

 

Dining, Entertainment & Shopping

Cleveland Park has a number of fantastic dining establishments to explore. A good place to start is at the fun, upbeat Cactus Cantina. This Tex-Mex restaurant has a vibrant menu with fresh ingredients and margaritas. Another lively location is 2 Amy’s Pizza, a good place for Neapolitan-style pieces and wine. For Southern-style barbeque, Fat Pete’s BBQ Restaurant tops the list here.

For a more upscale menu of authentic Italian, visit Trattoria al Volo, a good place to not just enjoy a meal but pick up pasta and sauces to take home. For fine dining that includes the best steak and fries in the city, make a trip to Medium Rare Restaurant. Laredo is yet another option perfect for Mexican food, happy hours, and weekend brunches.
