Tremont is the neighbourhood south of downtown, perched on a bluff above the Cuyahoga steel mills, threaded by a tangle of streets that ignore the surrounding grid. It is one of the oldest parts of Cleveland — Polish, Greek, Russian, Ukrainian, and Lebanese immigrants all moved in during the late 19th century, and their nine surviving Eastern Orthodox churches have given Tremont its distinctive skyline of onion domes.
After decades of decline the neighbourhood became a magnet for artists in the 1980s and for restaurants and galleries in the 2000s. Today Tremont has some of the best restaurants in Cleveland (Lolita, Edwins, Sokolowski's tradition continued at Soulcraft), the iconic A Christmas Story house, and a monthly Walkabout art-gallery night.
Lincoln Park is the green centre of the neighbourhood; the streets immediately around it are the densest stretch for restaurants and bars.
