Are you looking to explore outside of Cleveland? You are in luck. There is a gem hidden closeby. Approximately 30 minutes away from downtown Cleveland is the suburb Chagrin Falls. Named after the waterfalls that run through the small community, this little slice of paradise seems like a Hallmark movie. You will forget you are in Ohio as you watch the waterfalls flow through the city.
1. Visit The Waterfalls
I presume this village is named after the waterfall that flows in the middle of the small town. I have never really been exposed to waterfalls before this. The sound is incredible as the water pounds from its decent. The midst from the water lands on your face. We had a blast taking pictures of the falls.
In all of my research before visiting Cleveland, I never read about Chagrin Falls. It is a hidden oasis tucked away from the city. It truly has the feels of a small town with no problems.
2. Shop and Snack
For being a small village, Chagrin Falls has an abundance of shops. With boutique stores on almost every corner, it is easy to spend an afternoon shopping here. I poked my head into a few places and wanted to buy it all.

There are also some spots to get popcorn, candy, and other goodies. We popped into Chagrin Falls Popcorn Shop. After getting two scoops of chocolate ice cream, we want back to the waterfalls to enjoy our treat.
3. Have A Drink And Dinner
M Italian
Chagrin Falls has several restaurants, pubs, bars, you get the idea. There are several spots for you to have a quick appetizer or a full course meal. We popped into M Italian for a quick snack. We ordered the Caprese starter. It was perfect for sharing and held us over until we had dinner.
M Italian has an indoor outdoor bar so you have your choice in seating. There is a sprawling interior with a bar and restaurant. Outside, there is a patio that looks onto Main Street.

In addition to having incredible cuisine and cocktails, M Italian is also a glass blowing facility. Really! You can poke your head in next door. There are flames going and glass being blown.
