Drive To This Remote Ohio Restaurant Where The Steaks Will Leave You Absolutely Speechless

There’s a moment that happens at The Bear’s Den Steakhouse in Cambridge, Ohio, usually somewhere between the first bite of a hand-cut, dry-aged ribeye and the second, where you stop whatever conversation you were having and just sit there with a look on your face that your dining companions will absolutely photograph.

This West Virginia Bakery Is Famous For Pepperoni Rolls Baked Fresh Every Day

Bread and pepperoni were living separate lives until a West Virginia coal miner played matchmaker. Nearly a century later, this bakery is still keeping the couple together. The pair moves in together inside soft white dough, and the pepperoni leaves an orange-red mark where its oils sneak through. Call it a very public relationship status.

The Ohio Amish Bulk Food Store Where Deli Meat And Baking Supply Prices Make Shoppers Look Twice

A deli counter on a quiet country ridge road slices local lunch meat at prices that make regular grocery receipts look a little silly. That alone got my attention. The same small Ohio shop sells specialty flours in commercial-size bags. It also stocks spices, canning supplies, and the tiny dry marshmallows that big supermarkets always seem to forget.

Athens Halloween 2026: In photos

ATHENS, Ohio — Athens residents took to the streets for the city’s annual Halloween celebrations Saturday. The Halloween Block Party, which has taken place since 1974, has grown into a cornerstone for Ohio University students and Athens residents alike. Saturday’s festivities included a Family Friendly Block Party for Athens’ youngest from 1-4 p.m., along with an uptown trick-or-treat sponsored by businesses in Uptown Athens. The family-friendly festivities culminated with Passion Works Studio’s 15th annual Honey for the Heart parade, before being followed by several hours of live music at the Uptown Block Party, which lasted until 12:30 a.m. Among those who attended the festivities were Mayor Steve Patterson and Service-Safety Director Andy Stone, who watched the Honey for the Heart parade from the corner of Court and Washington Street. It’s a far cry from the 1970s and ‘80s, when Athens’ city government discouraged people from taking part in Halloween celebrations. The local government went so far as to place full page ads in newspapers telling people not to come to Athens during Halloween. However, the city soon realized Halloween was an economic boon for businesses in Athens. The city then began officially-sanctioned Halloween celebrations—complete with live music and bandstands—to capitalize.
