This review is from: Cleveland Ethnic Eats 2005: The Guide to Authentic Ethnic Restaurants and Markets (Paperback)

'Grand adventures await those who are willing to turn the corner.' So read my fortune cookie at lunch last month at Pearl of the Orient, a recent eating-as-adventure experience inspired by the 2003 edition of Taxel's marvelous guidebook. Amidst her detailed narrative about Cleveland's flavorful places I've penciled my own annotations to those we've tried: Mughal (Indian); Niko's (Greek); Trattoria Roman Gardens (Italian); Balaton (Hungarian); Phil the Fire (African-American/Southern);Johnny Mango (international)...and more! What a great low-cost way to 'travel'! We're definitely looking forward to new discoveries in the 2005 edition. As a retired librarian, I'm very enthused about how the information is organized especially Taxel's indexes. Restaurants and ethnic markets are not only indexed by name, location, and country but also by idea (different fun suggestions such as 'Al Fresco' and 'Desserts to Die For'). I also enjoy reading Taxel in the Cleveland newspaper and in Northern Ohio Live and other regional magazines.
