As Scene’s expert on all things delish, restaurant critic Elaine Cicora gets a lot of email, and she tries to answer all of it. Occasionally, it’s worth sharing: I was born in Cleveland and have not been there for over 40 years. My older sister, me, and my younger sister are coming back home next month. I have done A LOT of research and have found I still will be able to get an Indian’s T-Shirt, walk around the old Polish neighborhood, and visit what is left of Euclid Beach. But okay, Elaine: While in Cleveland, what one (1) thing MUST we do? And where is the best place to eat an (ole timey) Polish meal?

  1. I am annoyed that you suggested the House of Blues Gospel Brunch as a good choice for something to do in Cleveland. (Not that I have anything against the Gospel Brunch; I think it’s fantastic.) But it’s also offered in at least 11 other cities, so why not suggest things that are uniquely Cleveland?
