Coventry. Distinct from the start.

Coventry Village began with a theatre in 1919 and has evolved with each passing generation to become one of the premier cultural centers in the Greater Cleveland area. From Russian and Jewish immigrants to med students to artsy-types, you'll find a little bit of everyone's culture here, and a new adventure at every storefront.

Once is never enough.

Start the day with "back in the day" at Big Fun. Explore nostalgia with toys and collector's items from your younger years and before, including an old-fashioned photo booth. Keep your youthful glow with a healthy lunch from Tommy's, where the Middle East meets the Midwest (and hummus meets BBQ-no, really, it's called "Spiked Hummus"). After lunch, mix it up at Record Revolution where you'll find records, CDs, vintage posters, bumper stickers, and retro shirts from all your favorite rockers. If you'd rather update your style with trendy urban gear, head over to American Apparel. Even the accessories are enough to rock your look.

Now that you've shopped up an appetite, feed your craving with a customized dinner. A menu of ingredients awaits at bd's Mongolian Barbecue, a stir-fry restaurant where you pick 'em and they mix 'em. If Southwest spice is your flavor, you can build your own burrito at ¿Qué Tal? (Yes, ¿Qué Tal? with a question mark.) After a full-flavor meal, treat your sweet tooth to Strickland's Frozen Custard — rich history and unique recipe make this local shop indispensable to all who enter. But don't worry, you can dance away your indulgences at the B-Side, a dance club and lounge featuring performance art, private parties, and a different genre of music playing each night, all night.With even more to explore on Coventry Road, it's no surprise that a One Pass Trip will leave you wanting another. And another. And another. And another.
