– YYTime, the new food hall in AsiaTown, promised fun and variety and delivers on just that.
– Oliva, an Italian-themed steakhouse, will open its doors in the Warehouse District any day now.
– Gather Food + Drink opens in River.

– Finally, with more than a few closings of note in the first half of the year, it’s welcome news that 17 new spots will be opening this summer. Here’s what’s on tap.

Boom’s Pizza, Shaker Heights Last fall, Ben Bebenroth announced that he and his team had signed a lease for the former Michael’s Genuine space at Van Aken District. When it opens this summer, Boom’s Pizza in Shaker will join the original shop in Lakewood, which opened in early 2023. Once again, Bebenroth is working with Richardson Design to rework the space to better align it with their service approach, which blends the efficiency of a fast-casual operation with the comfort of a sit-down eatery. Guests order, pay and grab beverages from coolers filled with beer, wine by the can, split and bottle and soft drinks. For this location, they plan to dial back the self-serve beverage options in favor of a streamlined bar program featuring draft beers and draft cocktails.
