Mimi Magazine Think Local! Get the scoop on quality businesses to help you build the life you want to live. Preserve business diversity.

In 2003, the unforgettable Mimi Vanderhaven met with a group of creative and passionate individuals to present her plan to launch a publication dedicated to what she termed, “Preserving business diversity.” She believed that any community would embrace a publication that simultaneously supported quality locally owned businesses and treated its readers like ladies and gentlemen. The result was the

founding of Mimi Vanderhaven, a magazine in favor of promoting the heroic efforts of those local entrepreneurs whose hearts are so filled with a destiny to serve that they have abandoned their cubicles to risk their life’s savings to follow their own paths. That same passionate mission is now being carried forth online at MimiVanderhaven.com. Mimi’s values are rooted in a celebration of individual creativity, the magical connection between forgiveness and excellence, and a quirky insistence on doing everything exactly opposite from what is expected. Every month, Mimi Vanderhaven is mailed to over 285,000 homes and businesses in Northeast Ohio’s affluent outer suburbs, including Auburn, Aurora, Avon, Avon Lake, Bath, Bay Village, Bainbridge, Beachwood, Bentleyville, Berea, Bratenahl, Brecksville, Broadview Heights, Brunswick, Chagrin Falls, Cleveland Heights, Copley, Columbia Station, Fairlawn, Fairview Park, Gates Mills, Hinckley, Hudson, Hunting Valley, Medina, Middleburg Heights, Moreland Hills, Northfield, North Olmsted, North Royalton, Olmsted Falls, Orange, Parma, Parma Heights, Peninsula, Richfield, Rocky River, Sagamore Hills, Shaker Heights, Sharon Center, Solon, Strongsville, Twinsburg, West Akron, Westlake, Woodmere, University Heights, Valley City and more. Those three words have been the heart of Mimi Vanderhaven's brand since our inception in 2003. As her readers know, Mimi is dedicated to supporting locally owned businesses and ensuring that the people of Northeast Ohio have significant choice in how they live their lives—including shopping, dining, healthcare, home improvement and more. Although Mimi Magazine welcomes certain advertisements from national chains in Northeast Ohio, we do not produce editorial-style content for non-regionally-based national chains that already have significant market share or brand awareness among our readers. While we value and appreciate the positive local impact such businesses can have on our community, our editorial voice is reserved for informing our readers about less well-known product and service options. The publication of any content is at the sole discretion of Mimi Magazine, and we reserve the right to refuse any advertisement at any time. Mimi’s editorial and advertising missions are perfectly aligned. This means her editorial resources are dedicated exclusively to presenting quality, locally owned businesses to her adoring fans. Plus, her calendar (in print and now online) is filled hundreds of community events. Claims one local politician, “I use Mimi’s Calendar every issue to decide which events to attend so I can interact with my constituents.”

And now that Mimi has expanded her mission to the web, her audience is growing to all of Northeast Ohio and beyond.

🥂Nothing says “Happy Holidays” like the pop of a champagne cork. And apparently, the shape of the glass you pour it into has a lot to say about, uh, other things.
If you plan on imbibing in the bubbly this year, you may be interested in the results of a recent champagne tasting Jim Sperk of the Northern Ohio Wine Guild experienced with a certain chatty Canadian wine sommelier.

Introducing "Yes, Chef!" Mimi’s monthly Q&A with a Northeast Ohio culinary star.

Called “a genius in the kitchen” by , Chef Rusty James Phillips has earned kudos for his wildly inventive take on small plates. This self-taught food rebel has gone from line cook to food truck owner to award-winning restaurateur, opening The Pompadour a decade ago in Fairport Harbor. Look for him to shake up the landscape even further in 2025, with the opening of Auteur—featuring multi-course tasting menus, curated events and a wine bar—and Beach & Barrel with partner Chris Pinta, a craft beer-focused beach bar gastropub with Key West vibes.
