10 new restaurants in the Akron area! Check out what they're serving

Happy Friday and happy weekend. I'm sure most folks are immersed in plans for Thanksgiving and, by extension, Christmas. Here are a couple of newsy holiday bits. ● I was excited to learn last week that Graeter's Ice Cream saw the return of its holiday favorite peppermint stick ice cream. The hand-crafted ice cream is made just 2.5 gallons at a time with Graeter's signature, small-batch French Pot process. The peppermint stick treat can be found at all Graeter's shops, the closest of which are at Pinecrest in Beachwood and Crocker Park in Westlake. Peppermint stick pints also are sold at local Acme, Giant Eagle and Meijer grocery stores. Graeter's is offering three additional, limited-time holiday flavors at scoop shops as well as for online ordering . The holiday creme brulee flavor was released Nov. 9, featuring vanilla custard with a caramelized sugar crunch. Coming Nov. 16 is Cozy Hot Cocoa with rich chocolate and gooey marshmallow, and Nov. 23 will see the release of Spirited Eggnog, infused with notes of rum, bourbon and brandy. ● Cafe Arnone will host a sip and shop holiday wine tasting event from 5 to 8 p.m. Nov. 18 at 2840 W. Market St.

City Council OKs Malik plan to unlock potential of older Akron homes

The city of Akron is making it easier to invest in its vast stock of aging homes by eliminating another obstacle to their reuse. Under current zoning regulations, Akron Planning Director Kyle Julien said, 86% of land in the city that allows residential uses "is zoned exclusively for single-family homes." Thanks to a change unanimously adopted Nov. 9 by Akron City Council, residential properties that do not quite fit the description – so-called legal nonconforming structures – won't have to be brought into compliance with modern zoning rules within two years as previously required. The step, coupled with another recent zoning change that sets aside lot-size requirements, is one Mayor Shammas Malik's administration hopes will encourage a wave of community renewals. Across the last 30 years of the 20th century, Akron abandoned the idea of neighborhoods with a mix of housing types, opting instead for neighborhoods dedicated to single-family homes, Julien said. But bringing homes built prior to that push into compliance limited property buyers' possibilities. "This requirement can be challenging or even impossible to meet. It's not easy to turn a duplex into a single-family home," Julien said, "and you can't add land to a parcel to meet the
