This post was updated on September 26, 2019, to reflect the most current information.
Halloween is nearly upon us, which means that Cleveland's most prepared ghouls, goblins, princes and princesses are already forming their routes and strategies for a successful night of trick-or-treating. When it comes time to knock on doors, there are several fail-safe methods for filling your bag with sweets. Of course, wearing the perfect costume is a big part of it, but choosing a route that is walkable and filled with friendly, candy-bearing houses is also important. We rounded up the neighborhoods in Cleveland that are the most ideal for trick-or-treaters. So don your costume and ready your sweet tooth, because you're about to get a lot of candy.The Best Trick-or-Treating Neighborhoods in Cleveland Include:
Old Brooklyn | Shaker Heights | West Boulevard | Parma Heights | Ohio City | Lakewood | Jefferson | Westfield Park | High Point | New Hampton
Old Brooklyn
Make your way to Old Brooklyn, located on the west side of Cleveland, for a warm, welcoming atmosphere, extravagant Halloween decorations, and (most importantly) plenty of candy. Known as an accessible, family-friendly neighborhood, the streets of Old Brooklyn are filled with children of all ages on Halloween night. Make a day of it and check out the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo in costume before trick-or-treating starts!
Shaker Heights
This upscale suburb located just east of town is known for its pristine golf courses, safe streets and beautiful homes. The spacious front yards are always filled with crowd-pleasing decorations, and residents of the homes will generously dole out candy to those who approach their door. Regardless of what route you take, you will surely be met with friendly faces and other fun-loving families taking part in the candy hunt.West Boulevard
As one of the most walkable neighborhoods in Cleveland (and also one of the most picturesque), we couldn't leave West Boulevard off the list. In this area, you will find modern houses, friendly residents, and several safe and fun trick-or-treating routes for the kids.
Parma Heights
Located just east of Pearl Road in the suburb of Parma Heights lies a mecca for trick-or-treaters. Set yourself up on Parma Park near the intersection at Pearl Road, and enjoy nearly a mile and a half of candy-rich real estate running all the way to Pleasant Valley Road. The residents of this street are known to go all-out with their decorations — even playing spooky music to enhance the Halloween experience. If you're lucky, you might even snag a cup of hot apple cider or a bag of freshly popped popcorn.Lakewood
Ohio City
As one of the oldest neighborhoods in Cleveland, Ohio City offers up an unparalleled amount of charm. The residents go all-out for Halloween, slinging pumpkins, fake spiderwebs, eerie skeletons and spooky lights on every surface they can reach. The kids will have a grand time navigating the homes, and, of course, collecting their just reward for ringing the doorbell.Jefferson
The charming and inviting township of Jefferson goes all out for holidays and festivals, and Halloween night is no exception. Bring the family for trick-or-treating, and admire the beautiful homes and spooky decorations. The streets are safe and walkable, and everyone dresses up in costume to maximize the Halloween spirit!
Westfield Park
Located in Olmstead Township, Westfield Park is a prime destination for families with little ones. The residents welcome trick-or-treaters (usually donning costumes themselves), and dole out handfuls of treats to hopeful candy hunters. Like any great Halloween destination, the lawns are decked out with festive (and sometimes terrifying), decorations, including dry ice for an added misty effect.High Point
You might want to bring a few extra bags to the High Point development this Halloween — residents here are notoriously generous with the sweets! Mosey on over (you'll find it off of Drake Road in Strongsville, just 20 or so minutes southwest of downtown Cleveland), and get ready for a night you will not soon forget.
New Hampton
Nestled in the Broadview Heights suburb, New Hampton is one of those neighborhoods every Cleveland trick-or-treater needs to hit at least once in their career (if not every year). The decorating often begins weeks ahead of time, and the final results are truly a sight to behold. Expect an abundance of Halloween spirit from the residents on October 31!Happy Halloween!

The Best Local Beers to Drink This Fall in Cleveland
This post was updated on September 26, 2019, to reflect the most current information.
When the leaves start to change, so does the beer selection at your neighborhood taproom. The return of that familiar fall chill means that we are seeing fewer of those light, fruity sours and more hearty pumpkin-flavored ales, all of which are sure to go well with the tailgates and harvest events filling your fall calendar! Cleveland breweries have certainly honored that warm-to-cold transition in their newly released brewskies. From ales to stouts, here are some local, autumn-inspired beers that deserve a spot in your fridge all season long. Bottoms up!Masthead Brewing Co.
Pumpkin Spice Latte IPA ABV 7.5%It isn't truly fall if you aren't drinking a PSL! So throw on your favorite sweater and head to Masthead Brewing Company for their latest concoction: the Pumpkin Spice Latte IPA! This gorgeous brew was created with real pumpkin, cinnamon sticks, whole nutmegs, cloves, coffee beans from Six Shooter, and real Madagascar vanilla beans.View this post on Instagram
Working Class Brewery
Clock Out P.B. Stout ABV 6.0% This fall, Working Class Brewery has their popular Clock Out P.B. Stout on tap! This sweet chocolate stout is infused with creamy peanut butter—what more could you want on a chilly fall day? We can't wait to sip this one near a cozy fire this season.Great Lakes Brewing
Nosferatu Imperial Red Ale ABV 8.0%

Great Lakes Brewing encourages beer fans to not be afraid of things that go hop in the night—like this rich Imperial red ale. This spooky beer, named for one of the most notorious vampires to ever haunt storybooks, is ruby red in color and features a toasty malt body lurking beneath a delightfully bitter, hoppy bite.Forest City Brewing
Kurbisleichen Pumpkin Ale ABV: 8.2% Forget pumpkin spice lattes—pumpkin-flavored beer is where it's at. This Kurbisleichen-style ale is full-bodied and packed with autumn flavors. The sweetness of the pumpkin and the aromatic notes of allspice, nutmeg, ginger and clover meld well with German Pale and Dark Munich malts, creating a rich profile to warm the soul and transition you into the colder months.Platform Beer Co
S'Mores Yammy ABV 7.9%One sip of S'mores Yammy from Platform Beer Co. will transport you to a cozy campfire in the Ohio wilderness where spooky stories are both made and told. Enjoy all the tastes of the classic campfire dessert blended of the satisfyingly sweet spiced sweet potato ale.View this post on Instagram
Goldhorn Brewery
The Dead Man's Curve IPA ABV: 8.0% Goldhorn Brewery isn't the oldest brewery in town (established in 2016), but its beers reach back to the rich heritage and traditions of the Cleveland community. This beer, named for Cleveland's most infamous stretch of highway, delivers a delicious piney hop flavor and a citrusy aroma. As an American IPA, it provides the perfect balance between bitter and fresh, and is the perfect sipper for warm autumn afternoons!Noble Beast Brewing Company
Roasted Sweet Potato Saison ABV 7%When October rolls around, look for this light and flavorful autumn saison from Noble Beast Brewing Company. Instead of adding more pumpkin to the gauntlet of fall-themed beverages, this beer will feature the more palatable sweet potato. The beer will be fermented with Belgian Saison yeast, which creates a smooth spice profile to complement the natural sweetness.View this post on Instagram
The BottleHouse
Space Moth - Black Lager ABV 4.2% Coming in at a light 4.2% ABV, this drinkable dark lager is a soul-warming treat for colder months. Brewed with notes of lightly roasted coffee and bready malts, Space Moth is a fantastic drink for new dark beer drinkers and pretty much anyone else who loves beer.Cheers!

The leaves are starting to change, pumpkin is taking over every menu in town, and that familiar chill has returned to the air. Fall is upon us again! We look forward to this season every year for the fun traditions it provides, such as picking your own apples. A day in the orchards gathering a fresh harvest with loved ones is the perfect way to ring in the new season — and there's no denying that apples straight from the tree just taste better. Thankfully, the gorgeous Ohio countryside is filled with orchards and farms filled to the brim with juicy, crisp apples ripe for picking. Below, we rounded up some of our absolute favorites. Enjoy!Patterson Fruit Farm
8675 Mulberry Road, Chesterland
At Patterson Fruit Farm, producing fresh fruit is a way of life. The team here enjoys providing food for their local community and sharing the farming experience with families who stop by for a day of adventuring. During apple season (August through early winter), the farm invites you to take a wagon ride and pick your own apples from more than 30 varieties grown on-site. Fun Fest runs from September 14th through October 27th, and boasts a full gauntlet of family-friendly activities, including horse-drawn wagon rides, giant haystacks, a corn maze, pumpkin painting and more!
Hillcrest Orchards
50336 Telegraph Road, Amherst Hillcrest Orchards is responsible for the growth of quality apples, pumpkins, peaches and happy family memories. On weekends during the fall, you will be treated to a fun wagon ride out to the orchard, as well as sage picking advice to help you harvest the cream of the crop.

If you make the hour-long journey to Bauman Orchards in Rittman, you will be treated to more than 40,000 apple trees and 18 different varieties (10 available to pick yourself). Guests are invited to pick their own apples from September 2 through October 14. After a long day in the orchard, reward yourself with some fresh-pressed apple cider (and maybe a few baked goods) in the market. Looking for a pumpkin, gourd or squash for eating or decorating? You can find those in the market as well.Geig's Orchard
8468 Wooster Pike, Seville Geig's might be a perfect locale for a fun-filled day of apple picking, but it's also a top-notch place to grab a fresh-pressed apple cider, pie fillings, jams and more. Locals wait all year for the market to open so they can ring in the fall season properly!Miller's Apple Hill, Ltd.
50549 State Route 113, Amherst
This family-owned market is a favorite year-round, but especially during the fall months. Starting in September, bring the family and pick your own apples in the scenic orchards. After your arms are full, peruse the market for fresh pastries, baking supplies and more! You're going to need some apple pie materials, after all.
Pick 'n' Save Orchard
1222 Ledge Road, Medina Most of the customers at Pick 'n' Save Orchard are regulars that return year after year. This is likely due to the unparalleled hospitality and family-friendly environment that has become tradition here. The farm is a wonderful destination for fruit picking year-round (raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, oh my), but the apples are the main event. Stop by between 10am and 4pm Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays to see for yourself!Monroe's Orchard and Farm Market

Monroe's Orchard is a must-visit location for families looking for a fun day out in the sun.

Stop in for a pick-your-own experience you won't soon forget.Stotler's Orchard LLC
4597 Laubert Road, Atwater This charming farm in the heart of Randolph, Ohio is home to more than 113 varieties of apples. A selection that large is sure to please even the pickiest of apple pickers!

Make sure to accompany your treat with some house-made apple cider!Rittman Orchards & Farm Market

Rittman Orchards is known far and wide as one of the most gorgeous settings to spend an afternoon with loved ones.
