Home to the Euclid Opera House and
Cleveland’s original theatre district, East
4th Street had declined into a series of
pawn shops and wig stores by the 1970s.
In the early 2000s, entertainment returned
to the street with the opening of
Pickwick & Frolic (2002) and House of
Blues (2004). The street has been dramatically
transformed into one of Downtown’s
nightlife destinations of choice. The pedestrian-
only brick street is alive with international
cuisine, a large music venue, a
trendy bowling alley, a comedy club, retail,
upscale speakeasies and home base to renowned
chef, Michael Symon.
