FOOD & DINING Guarino’s – better than your Italian grandma’s Little Italy is a natural destination before or after an outing at the parklike Lake View Cemetery or a visit to the Cleveland Museum of Art. The oldest restaurant in the neighborhood, Guarino’s has vintage Victorian décor. Beads hang from the bar – a throwback to the Prohibition practice of obscuring the street view from law enforcement. The menu offers traditional Italian and Italian-American dishes with flair. Satisfy the desire for a hearty pasta -- ravioli or lasagna. Or think grandma’s holiday table and order the brasciole, a rolled flat steak stuffed with prosciutto, hard-boiled egg, cheese, fresh garlic and parsley. If your grandma didn’t make it, try it. Pizza and pasta are in the house. Desserts are, as you’d expect spumoni, cannoli and tiramisu. DETAILS Griffin Cider House & Gin Bar Griffin Cider House & Gin Bar in Lakewood is the perfect cocktail bar to try when you're sick of your regular bar order and are in the mood to try something outside of the box.

It's a cozy spot with plenty of seating to meet with friends, sample some cocktails, and enjoy a quiet night out on the West Side. Griffin Cider House & Gin Bar, 12401 Madison Ave., Lakewood. 216-767-5444;5 p.m. until 11 p.m. on Monday, 5 p.m. until 12 a.m., Tuesday through Thursday; 5 p.m. until 1 a.m., Friday and Saturday; Closed Sundays.

Jimmy Buffett Last month, the singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett, who turned his unique brand of beach bum soft rock and "Margaritaville" escapism into a lifestyle and movement, died. As the music world continues to mourn the loss of a giant, Mailboat and Sun Records have teamed up to release his final album, a posthumous release titled "Equal Strain on All Parts," recorded earlier this year. It features Paul McCartney, Emmylou Harris, Lennie Gallant, Angelique Kidjo, and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. Buffett's light-hearted, goodtime jams live on, as evidenced on the previously released tracks, "My Gummie Just Kicked In" and "Bubbles Up." DETAILS Jason Aldean "Highway Desperado" is the 11th studio album from mainstream country juggernaut Jason Aldean, released on the heels of his first Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 single, the controversy-creating "Try That in a Small Town." Produced by Michael Knox, Aldean says "Highway Desperado" takes inspiration from his live show. "I think when I look back on it, I built my career early on my live show, and have been on the road touring since I was 18 years old," Aldean said in a press release. "For us, touring is our favorite part. Getting on the bus and going town to town and playing our shows and doing our thing and seeing the fans… the title for the tour and album was really inspired from that." DETAILS New Kids on the Block In 2008, after having been on a hiatus as a group for 12 years, Boston boy band New Kids on the Block returned with a new album, "The Block." This year, to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the album responsible for the second chapter of their career, NKOTB will release "The Block: Revisited." It includes four previously unreleased tracks as well as a new remix of their single "Dirty Dancing," this time featuring a new generation of boy band: Dino, DK, and Joshua of the best-selling K-pop group SEVENTEEN. DETAILS Tkay Maidza For some, Australian-via-Zimbabwe rapper-singer Tkay Maidza 's unique vocal tone might be most closely associated with her cover of the 1988 Pixies' song "Where Is My Mind?" as utilized in an Apple AirPods commercial. (She recasts the song in a style all her own — quite the feat for a track frequently covered and tethered to the final scene in "Fight Club.") But it's her original work that deserves attention. "Sweet Justice," her sophomore album that follows 2016's self-titled debut and a 2020 EP series — is an eclectic collection of soulful electronics and psychedelic production elevated by her playful flow and smooth vocal tone. DETAILS Mac Sabbath Mac Sabbath is a Black Sabbath band with an affinity for all things McDonald’s.
