About The Little Italy History Shuffle
The Shuffle is a unique opportunity to explore the rich history of Little Italy through its iconic buildings and establishments. Led by knowledgeable guides, participants will visit five establishments, each with its own story to tell. From Prohibition-era speakeasies to family-owned businesses passed down through generations, this tour offers a glimpse into the colorful past of one of the most vibrant neighborhoods in the city.
Along the way, guests will have the chance to sample delicious Italian-inspired drinks and snacks while soaking in the ambiance of these local landmarks. Whether you're a history buff or simply looking for a fun afternoon outing, this special tour promises an unforgettable experience filled with laughter, stories, and, of course, great drinks. The shuffle ends at IAMCLE where guests can party on the patio with food, drink, and a DJ.
Salute to an evening of discovery in Cleveland's historic Little Italy!
