ant to experience another culture? Curious to

W Cexplore your own background? Name it, there's a

good chance we've got it-and there's probably a festival, restaurant, organization or district that celebrates it. We wouldn't dare list all of the ethnic groups who call Northeast Ohio home because the list would go on forever, but from Eastern Europe to East Asia, an astounding number of nationalities are well-represented.

Among the many local destinations that celebrate our diversity:

ASIATOWN/ASIA PLAZA On Cleveland's east side, you'll find more than 20 authentic Asian restaurants, as well as Asia Plaza and Asia Town Center. From retailers to supermarkets, you can shop for art, herbs or all the ingredients you need for your date-night dinner. clevelandasiatown.com CULTURAL GARDENS Wind your way north of University Circle on Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard and find yourself in the Cleveland Cultural Gardens, 36 urban landscapes celebrating nationalities and ethnicities with strong ties to Northeast Ohio. culturalgardens.org

FESTIVALS During summer, barely a week can pass without a festival with an ethnic flair, from Polish to Puerto Rican. Keep an eye out for the Cleveland Asian Festival (typically in May), Tremont Greek Fest (Memorial weekend), Riverfront Irish Festival in Cuyahoga Falls (June), and the Feast of the Assumption (August), among many, many others.

KARAMU HOUSE Attracting artists of all ages, the oldest

African-American theater in the United States is known for its semi-professional theatrical productions and activities for young people. karamuhouse.org
