"The Flat Iron Cafe has withstood the test of time in Cleveland’s gritty, yet entertaining, Flats district. Established in 1910, this venerable Irish pub serves as a neighborhood anchor for Cleveland Browns football traditions. The house specialty is a hefty platter of fried Lake Erie perch, provided by a fishmonger just across the street. “Browns Sundays are now my favorite day,” says co-owner Dave Steele. Despite the amusing irony of his surname being so close to the Browns’ bitter rivals from Pittsburgh, Steele has earned the community’s trust and affection by offering game-day brunches and free stadium shuttles." - Wendy Pramik
