About This Event
The Best of the East is designed to showcase the most outstanding establishments and people on the East Side as voted upon by the readers of Cleveland Magazine. Three finalists in each Best of the East category were determined based on nomination ballots cast by the readers of Cleveland Magazine. The finalists will be announced in our April 2025 issue, and each has been invited to host a space at the 2025 Best of the East Party. One winner in each category will be determined by a final vote that will take place at the party.
