| - Listen: North Union has become unstuck from Shaker Square. Of its satellite locales, your reviewer has only sampled one, the Playhouse Square encampment, but it is a sheer delight. Swing by Thursdays between 10:30-1:30 thru September 15 for a compact, but varied selection of foodstuffs. Grey House Pies offers some deftly baked treats--the brown butter chocolate chip cookies ($2) are particularly scrumptious. Elsewhere, Blaze Gourmet provides all manner of mouthwatering salsas, accommodating to both those of the craving-steam-out-your-ears persuasion, as well as palates upon which habaneros never set foot (or, one supposes, stalk). Rest assured, they have a fire extinguisher on hand should anyone sampling their super heated blends spontaneously burst into flames. There are coffee vendors too, and gluten free cookie vendors, even good old fashioned fruit/veggie vendors for any farmers' market traditionalists among us. Many, if not all, of these fine vendors take credit cards, so don't worry if you have left your pocketbook at the office. Take a look before the season ends. You'll definitely leave with something tasty, unique, and local...what could be better on an idyllic summer day in Cleveland?
