Caught a moment with Nick Kostis at Pickwick & Frolic as his Cleveland Comedy Club is celebrating 40 years of laughter. A former teacher turned comedy visionary, Nick helped transform East 4th Street into a Downtown Cleveland destination. Still showing up daily in his 80s—heart and soul of the city.

Visited Affettati at 12010 Mayfield Rd. in Little Italy & met owner Kevin Dawe & his team—Jamie, a trumpet student, and Jonathan, an aviation enthusiast. Open since June 2024, this spot is a must for its Roman pizza-style sandwiches. The bread alone is worth the trip.
