Healthy Dining - Northeast Ohio - Cutler Real Estate

When New Year's comes around, most people recommit to living a healthier lifestyle. However, as the months go by, it gets a bit harder to stick to these resolutions. 

If you want to keep focusing on your nutrition, finding some healthy restaurants can really help! Luckily, there are many excellent choices in Northeast Ohio. Here are a few of our favorites. 

Town Hall 

1909 W. 25th St., Cleveland, OH 44113

If you believe that being healthy is all about balance, you'll love the vibe at Town Hall. They're committed to offering a menu that's fully non-GMO and mostly organic. Even better, the menu is created by an in-house nutritionist.

There's no shortage of healthy options on the menu, from vegan chili and bone broth to poke bowls and salads. You'll also find tasty items like Curry Chicken Noodle bowls, Food Truck Tacos, Keto Fried Chicken, Korean BBQ Flat Breads, and more! 

When you want something super healthy, you can grab an organic cold-pressed juice or organic smoothie. Need some balance in your life? Complement your healthy meal with a Cold-Brewed Nutella Milkshake, Skillet Cookie, or a cold beer.

Named one of the healthiest fast-casual restaurants in the country, REBOL Urban Cafe offers a menu full of non-GMO, organic, vegan, gluten-free, keto, and paleo-friendly items. They also serve both dine-in and carry-out meals so you can "eat like you give a damn" while social distancing.

When you dine here, you can expect to find meals made of pasture-raised chicken, grass-fed meats, low-mercury seafood, and more. You'll also enjoy their breakfast sandwiches, pastries, bowls, broths, and non-toxic coffee. We love the "Build Your Own Bol" options since we can create so many different healthy and delicious combinations. 

pHuel Cafe

1350 Euclid Ave., Cleveland, OH 44115

For delicious, healthy American cuisine, you can't go wrong with dining in or ordering takeout from pHuel Cafe. They insist on only using high-quality ingredients and serve delicious meals like a Portabella Sandwich, Ahi-Tuna Bowl with Quinoa, or a Kimchi Stir Fry. You'll also love their healthy drink options like Kale-Ade, Ginger Get Well, and Green Smoothies. 

Johnny Mango

3120 Bridge Ave., Cleveland, OH 44113

When you're ready for a bit of excitement in your life, head over to Johnny Mango to try some of their healthy dishes made with a Mexican, Caribbean, and Asian flare. They offer a selection of meatless meals, most of which are gluten-free. This includes a delicious Fried Tofu, Miso Soup with Asian Greens and Soba Noodles, and killer Vegan Nachos. The menu also includes burritos, quesadillas, Pad Thai, a selection of salads, and more! You'll also love their brunch menu and juice bar. 

The Root Cafe

15118 Detroit Ave., Lakewood, OH 44107

When you're looking for a substantial meal, we recommend visiting The Root Cafe. They're known for their large, filling entrees made with the freshest and highest-quality ingredients available. They make incredible hummus, an excellent Roasted Root Salad, and a Tempeh Reuben Sandwich that even carnivores will love!

If you're not into vegan fare, don't worry! They also have healthy stone oven pizzas, calzones, sandwiches, and breakfast foods.  

Munch: A Simple Kitchen

28500 Miles Rd. Suite J, Solon, OH 44139

One of the area's favorite vegetarian and vegan-friendly restaurants, Munch offers an incredible selection of healthy foods. They don't just serve veggie items, though. Take a look through their menu, and you'll see sandwiches made with off-the-bone turkey, salads with oven-roasted chicken breast, pastrami sandwiches, and more. 

While everything on the menu is good, we really love the falafel, tabbouleh, and the Israeli salad. For take-out, we suggest trying the Family Falafel Kit. They're just $15 per person, and you can order for 2 to 15 people. It's so much fun to take and make at home! 

Water Garden Cafe

7646 Lorain Ave., Cleveland, OH 44102

Another delicious choice for vegetarian, vegan, and fresh organic meals, Water Garden Cafe offers a huge variety of healthy choices. Some of their most popular items include the Agave Soy Marinated Portobello, Spicy Cauliflower, and Impossible Burgers. They also offer non-vegan dishes, including salmon, club sandwiches, Chicken Paprikash, and a variety of breakfast items.

If you choose to dine in, you'll love the cafe's cozy atmosphere. They also offer take-out, so you can enjoy their tasty meals from the comfort of your home. 

Earth Bistro Cafe

11100 Clifton Blvd., Cleveland, OH 44102

Earth Bistro Cafe is known for its contemporary American cuisine with a Cuban flair. Their menu is packed with delicious vegan and vegetarian dishes and traditional cuisine -- all made with the freshest possible local ingredients. Some of our favorite dishes include the Pickle Fries, Marinated Tofu Wrap, and the Tequila-Lime Grilled Chicken Club.

You also won't want to miss their amazing breakfast every Sunday from 11 am until 3 pm. If you're craving a "cheat meal," this is the perfect place to get one! We recommend the Hot Chicken Fried Steak, Cheese and Sausage Sammy or the Ham, Egg, and Cheese Crepes.

Winter Hiking in Northeast Ohio - Cutler Real Estate

The colder temperatures have blown in and turned Northeast Ohio into a winter wonderland. Though it may be a little chilly, the bright sun and blue skies create the perfect conditions for a relaxing hike through one of our many trails. Discover the beauty of Northeast Ohio in the winter with a hike at one of these area trails.

Nelson-Kennedy Ledges State Park

12440 OH-282, Garrettsville, OH 44231

Where does one go on a hike in the winter? The Devil's Icebox, of course! You'll find this rock formation as well as the Old Maid's Kitchen and Indian Pass within the Nelson-Kennedy Ledges State Park. There are four unique trails: the Red Trail is a half-mile, the Blue and Yellow Trails are three-quarters of a mile, and the White Trail is one-mile. Since many of these rock formations were made by receding glaciers, we can't think of a better time of the year to explore Nelson-Kennedy Ledges State Park than in the heart of winter.

Blue Hen Falls

2001 Boston Mills Rd., Brecksville, OH 44141

If you're searching for a wonderful place to hike, there are few outside Cleveland better than the Cuyahoga Valley. Of its many trails, a hike to Blue Hen Falls is one of the best family winter hikes that you can take. This three-mile trek should take about two hours. You'll first follow the Buckeye Trail then head across Boston Mills Road before venturing half-mile downhill to reach Blue Hen Falls. This 15-foot waterfall is quite a sight, especially in the winter, so be sure to bring your camera.

South Chagrin Reservation

37374 Miles Rd., Bentleyville, OH 44022

Explore more of the Buckeye Trail in the South Chagrin Reservation. Located along the Chagrin River, the South Chagrin Reservation is a lovely place for a hike. What we love about this area is that it's full of both natural and manmade wonders. Henry Rock Church, for instance, was carved way back in the 1880s, while Lookout Lodge was constructed in the late 1930s. With opportunities to hike, sled, fish, and explore the natural, historical, and cultural elements of the area, South Chagrin Reservation deserves a spot on your winter hiking itinerary.

Rocky River Reservation

24000 Valley Parkway, North Olmsted, OH 44070

A post shared by Bill Trentel (@btrentel)

Bird-watchers and wildlife viewers will enjoy a winter hike through the Rocky River Reservation. A walk to the Berea Falls overlook is a must, as well as a stop with your toboggan at Barrett Sledding Hill. As you wind through the trails throughout the reservation, keep an eye out for Ohio's local wildlife, including the stunning white-tailed deer.

Mill Creek Park

Youngstown, OH 44509

Mill Creek Park is the ultimate destination for outdoor winter fun. It's the largest of all the MetroParks and features 45-miles of trails where you can sled, cross-country ski, and hike. We suggest taking a stroll over by Lake Glacier where you can easily access the East Glacier Trail and Old Tree Trail. If you want a super-quick hike, the Lily Pond Circle at Lily Pond is a better option. Lake Newport offers access to the West Newport Trail, Islands Trail, and West and East Channel trails, while Lake Cohasset provides access to the East and West Cohasset trails. With so many trails to hike, you can spend the entire winter exploring Mill Creek Park.

Munroe Falls Metro Park

521 S. River Rd., Munroe Falls, OH 44262

A post shared by Bob Sargent (@thorsargent)

Munroe Falls Metro Park offers two fantastic areas to explore during the winter. The Lake Area features the 2.2-mile Indian Spring Trail, which loops you through a stream, wetlands, and a hill perfect for sledding. The Tallmadge Meadows Area is perfect for cross-country skiing and features two trails. The shorter Meadow Loop Trail is only 0.35-miles and is accessible for wheelchairs, strollers, and canes/walkers. The longer Meadow Trail is two-miles long and gives you a glimpse at wildlife in the meadow.

Deep Lock Quarry Metro Park

5779 Riverview Rd., Peninsula, OH 44264

Grab your camera and get ready to snap photos of amazing vistas along the Quarry Trail in Deep Lock Quarry Metro Park. This 1.4-mile moderate trail isn't too strenuous and will lead you to the Erie & Ohio Canal's deepest lock. As you walk, you'll pass millstones and have the opportunity to spot amazing views of the Cuyahoga River.

Euclid Creek Reservation

850 Euclid Creek Parkway, Cleveland, OH 44121

Though the Euclid Creek Reservation is a popular summertime picnic and exercise spot, it's also a wonderful place for a winter hike. There are four trails leading through the area, ranging from 1.1 to 2.5 miles. Each will take you through diverse landscapes like Bluestone quarries, Euclid Beach, and the Wildwood Marina. If you're searching for a little more fun to add to your hike, grab your sled and ride down the hill at the Kelley Picnic Area.

F.A. Seiberling Nature Realm

1828 Smith Rd., Akron, OH 44313

The F.A. Seiberling Nature Realm invites you to take a hike or enjoy the view this winter. Three basic trails wind through the area. The half-mile Cherry Lane Trail is a loop that leads to an amazing suspension bridge. The Fernwood Loop trail is nearly a mile in length and connects to the Cherry Lane Trail. For a slightly longer walk, the Seneca Trail is a mildly challenging unpaved loop that takes you deep into the forest. When you're finished with your hike, you can warm up at the Seneca deck fireplace.

Northeast Ohio Honey - Cutler Real Estate

Living in Northeast Ohio grants us access to acres of farm-fresh foods, including the oh-so-sweet local honey that we love to drizzle on everything we can. After much taste-testing, we've found that these nine places are the bee's knees for honey in Northeast Ohio.

Jacobs Heritage Farm

A fourth-generation farm that's been restored and preserved, Jacobs Heritage Farm includes a honey bee preserve. If their name sounds familiar, it's likely because you've seen their honey for sale at markets and stores throughout the area such as Target. A stop at Jacobs Heritage Farm is a must as they have much more than just their raw honey. You can also pick up meat and eggs from their livestock as well as firewood, antiques, plants, natural soaps, and plenty of other locally produced goods.

Heavenly Hill Farm

18375 State Road, North Royalton, OH 44133

Heavenly Hill Farm is well…heavenly! From apple picking and hayrides to pumpkin patch playing, cider tasting, and market strolling, it's easy to spend hours of your weekend at Heavenly Hill Farm with your family. Of course, if you're just looking to pick up a quick batch of honey, you can easily grab a jar fresh from the hive in their market.

Arrowhead Orchard

11724 Lisbon St., Paris, OH 44669

You probably already know Arrowhead Orchard as the home of the crispy and juicy apples Paris residents love, but you should know that their farm produces much more than a single fruit. Along with apples, you'll find delicious raw honey, ciders, homemade goods, sunflowers, vegetables, and other fruits throughout the property. Best of all, in the fall parents can enjoy a leisurely stroll around the market while their children have fun in the corn maze, on a hayride, or engaging in other fun activities.

Sheffield Farms

5100 Richelieu Ave., Sheffield Lake, OH 44054

Sheffield Farms believes that when it comes to knowing exactly what goes into your honey, too many big-name producers say "it's none of your beeswax." The local producers at Sheffield Farms insist that their customers understand what's in – and what's left out of – their honey. Their honeybees are housed according to organic practices and every batch of honey is free of additives, miticides, antibiotics, chemicals, and pasteurization. No matter if you're picking up raw honey, comb honey, propolis, or other beeswax products, you can confidently purchase knowing that their products are as natural as it gets.

Wade's Fruit Farm

12915 Warren Rd., Paris, OH 44669

Local Honey - NE Ohio - Cutler Real Estate

Wade's Fruit Farm is a pick-your-own farm located in Paris. While they are open throughout the year, their operating hours will vary depending on season and harvest. Blueberries and black raspberries are among their most popular fruit and vegetable offerings but you can usually find their fresh honey, cider, and eggs all year long. We especially love Wade's Fruit Farm because they offer their own unique blueberry honey made from the bees and blueberries that call their farm home. Imagine making blueberry pancakes, blueberry waffles, or blueberry French toast and topping it with delicious blueberry honey.

Kall Christmas Tree Farm

3605 Foskett Rd., Medina, OH 44256

If you've only visited Kall Christmas Tree Farm during the holiday season, then you've been missing out on their year-round supply of honey, beeswax candles, snacks, and other products available in their gift shop. Raw honey, strained honey, wildflower honey, and beeswax candles are just a few things you'll find around their farm, which includes a refreshment stand and cuddly farm animals. While you can stop by throughout the year, Kall Christmas Tree Farm encourages you to call ahead outside of the Christmas tree season so they can ensure that they'll be able to provide you with the specific honey you want.

Plum Creek Farm

For over 100 years, the family at Plum Creek Farm have tended to their land and livestock to produce free-range eggs, meats, jams, honey, and more throughout the year. Their goal is to deliver farmers market quality at prices that allow all residents of Valley City to enjoy a fresh farm to table experience at home. All honey is produced from hives on the farm and all of their animals are raised cage-free with ethical standards and are not fed hormones or antibiotics. A great family farm that's been a staple of Valley City for a century, Plum Creek Farm is one of the best places to sample the freshest foods from Northeast Ohio.

Hamey's Apiary Hives & Honey

6894 Smith Rd., Medina, OH 44256

Would you love to responsibly source honey from your own backyard? Then make a stop at Hamey's Apiary Hives & Honey. Not only do they bottle and sell their own local honey, but they also sell pollen for consumption and bee colonies so you can source your own honey at home. All bees are descended from their own Select Breeder Queens and are able to excel even in the winter months. Sample Hamey's honey then make your own batch! Your support of Hamey's Apiary also helps them donate colonies and host educational events each year.
