| - I grew up near Cleveland and this was one of my favorite places to come to as a kid. After a long hiatus, I've returned recently when I've been visiting my parents in NE Ohio, and it's just as great as I remembered.
The European cheese shop is probably one of my favorite places at the market; they have a great selection; I always find myself sampling several different cheeses before deciding on two to three to get. I also really like Theresa's Bakery, Ohio City Pasta, and several of the meat vendors, one of whom makes a great variety of different sausages.
There's always a great atmosphere at West Side Market, too. (Although, I'll admit, I typically go on days one would expect it to be crowded, like the day before Thanksgiving.) When I'm there, the place is abuzz with activity.
All in all, West Side Market is just a great place. I currently reside in D.C. and go to Eastern Market often, and, in terms of selection and size, it doesn't hold a candle to West Side Market!
(Oh, and the stands that sell read-to-eat-food, like the Italian Sausage stand and the Crepe stand, are great, too!)
