Lake Erie Living

The holiday season has started in Catawba, where The Orchard has transformed into a charming holiday hot spot. #bestoflakeerie #lakeerie #lakeeriedining

Come with us to take a look inside the new @beachglasslounge, which opened Sept. 5 in Marblehead, Ohio. The restaurant is the work of renowned glass artist Cary Ferguson, whose @ferguson_gallery is located right next door. 🍽️ The highly anticipated restaurant has a charming coastal vibe; friendly, unpretentious service; and a menu that brings new options to the area. 🦀 What should you eat? It’s all about the surf and turf specialties, including giant crab cakes, juicy filet mignon and lobster bisque soup. 🎨 Dine on their expansive wrap-around porch or step inside to be surrounded by a vibrant display of artistry crafted by Ferguson himself. Every corner bursts with color and creativity! 🔥 Diners will be able to see glass demonstrations — and even fire glass themselves — while waiting for their table. 👨‍🎨 But even if you don’t venture over to the gallery, Beach Glass Lounge is filled with Ferguson’s work, including a 200-piece glass chandelier that took the artist three months to make. The stunning work of art will be unveiled as soon as it’s dark enough, probably around 9 p.m. 🔗 Check out the link in our Instagram bio to see what’s on the menu — and learn more about how the restaurant came to be.

The rest of the world finally knows what we do — Lake Erie is the best! 🌎 @usatoday just released its ranking of the best lakes in the United States, as voted by readers, and we were named number one. Here’s what they had to say about us: 🌎 “It may be the shallowest of North America’s Great Lakes, but Lake Erie has a massive amount of potential when it comes to both tourism and outdoor adventure. Buffalo, Cleveland, and Toledo are just a few of the storied cities that can be explored along the Erie shore, while recreation opportunities range from fishing to bird-watching to shipwreck diving.” 🌎 Other high-ranking lakes include Lake Tahoe in Nevada, Lake Geneva in Wisconsin, Lake Michigan and Lake Superior. #bestoflakeerie #bestlake #greatlakes #lakeerielove #usttoday #thebest #cleveland #eriepa #toledoohio #buffalo #buffaloNY

So many people headed out last night to check out the Aurora Borealis (including @dorisbritton who captured this stunning video) that police had to block off streets around downtown Cleveland to manage traffic. 💫 If you missed it last night, you’ll likely get another chance, though probably not tonight due to cloudy skies. 💫 Check out the link in our bio for tips on catching the next show. The good news is that this phenomenon will still be visible in the Lake Erie region for the next year or so. #northernlights #auroraborealis #bestoflakeerie #lakeerienorthernlights #lakeerie #greatlakes #cleveland #inthecle #clevelandohio #clevelandoh

It’s a nothing-special Sunday in @lakesideohio, but there’s always something to do in this lakefront community, which doesn’t begin charging admission until Memorial Day. #bestoflakeerie #lakeerielove #lakesideohio #sundayfunday #lakeerie #greatlakes #springsunday #lakeeriespring

This moment of totality at Headlands Beach State Park in Mentor, Ohio, was captured by @kymliveshere . Make sure to listen with the volume on to hear the crowd. 🌙 “Nothing could have prepared me for this experience,” she said. “No photos or videos capture this feeling.” #eclipse #totalsolareclipse2024 #solareclipse #eclipseohio #lakeerieeclipse #bestoflakeerie #mentoroh #mentorohio #lakeerielove
