The Gordon Square Arts District around W. 65th and Detroit Ave is one of Cleveland's many success stories about neighborhoods revitalizing and reinventing themselves.
Gordon Square is a cultural center with the Cleveland Public Theatre and the Near West Theater, and has a classic movie house at the Capitol Theatre.
The neighborhood is home to boutiques like Yellowcake and Hausfrau records, some notable restaurants like Spice and Luxe, and excellent bars including XYZ Tavern, Happy Dog, and the Parkview.
Since all known images of our city's founder, Moses Cleavland, show him frowning, Gordon Square also has Sweet Moses, a classic ice-cream parlor sweet enough to make Moses smile. And finally, Gypsy Bean is a great place for coffee and pastry.
