ART GALLERIES & WALKS

When you're looking to bring home unique décor, local galleries team up to make it easier to browse dozens of artists in an evening. On the second Friday of each month, try the Tremont Art Walk (tremontartwalk.com) which draws large

artsy crowds (who also don't mind popping

into the many bars and restaurants, as well). The Murray Hill Art Walk (clevelandlittleitaly.com/art-walk) happens less frequently, but weaves through the galleries and restaurants of Little Italy.

Why not take home something you can tell your friends is a Cleveland exclusive? Try the Gordon Square Arts District (Detroit Avenue near West 65th Street), where shops are boosted by the monthly Third Friday art event at the 78th Street Studios (1300 W. 78th St. 78thstreetstudios.com), home to more than 40 galleries. In Clifton-Baltic (Clifton Boulevard east of West 117th Street), you'll find kitschy vintage stores (Big Fun (bigfunbigfun.com) and Flower Child), a fabulous pet boutique (Pet-Tique) and casual dining. If you're in the thriving East Fourth Street district, stop by the delightfully revived historic 5th Street Arcades (5thStreetArcades.com) or CLE Clothing (cleclothingco.com) where the apparel has a distinctly Ohio flavor. And for pop-up events featuring killer local artisans, look for shows organized by Cleveland Bazaar (clevelandbazaar.org) and Cleveland Flea (theclevelandflea.com).

BAG A DEAL

If bargain-foraging stirs your ancient hunter-gatherer instincts, Aurora Farms Premium Outlets (549 S. Chillicothe Rd., Aurora) will help keep you fiscally responsible. About 45 minutes outside of downtown Cleveland, the outlet center has factory stores such as Calvin Klein, Banana Republic, Polo Ralph Lauren, Coach and many others. premiumoutlets.com/aurora
