To honor some of these all-encompassing outdoor dining concepts, here are 25 Greater Cleveland bar and restaurant patios that will make you feel like you’ve been transported somewhere else.

READ MORE THIS WEEK'S PICKS Rosati’s Frozen Custard This stalwart family-run ice cream stand has a classic of the “CLE Eats & Drinks” world: a custard purportedly made from the Higbee’s Chocolate Malted recipe. The flavor is rolled out on Wednesdays at their locations in Northfield Center and Brunswick locations and it’s everything you remember about the classic. Cool, creamy, with a subtle toasted nuttiness imparted by the malt – a mixture of malted barley, wheat flour and evaporated whole milk. But we’re not here to over-think (or over-science) this tradition. We just think you should make it yours if you haven’t already done so. DETAILS Mount Granita Italian Ice Nothing tastes like summer in Little Italy more than Mount Granita Italian Ice. The adorable scoop shop serves up refreshing flavors of its crisp Italian ice – Amarena cherry, mint mojito and grapefruit are just a few favorites.

DETAILS “Inside Out 2” The emotions inside Riley are back in the sequel to Pixar’s 2015 Oscar-winning film. This time, Joy (Amy Poehler) & Co. are joined by a quartet of new emotions led by Anxiety (Maya Hawke) as Riley becomes a teenager. The result is a smart, entertaining and engaging coming-of-age story packed with stunning visuals. Psych 101 was never this fun. READ MORE "Presumed Innocent" Jake Gyllenhaal stars in his first TV role as a prosecutor accused of murder in "Presumed Innocent" for Apple TV+. It's based on a novel by Scott Turow (which was also adapted into a film starring Harrison Ford in 1990). Peter Sarsgaard, who in real life is married to Jake's sister Maggie, plays Gyllenhaal's courtroom adversary. "Presumed Innocent" premiered Wednesday. DETAILS "The Boys" The satirical superhero series drops its first three episodes of season four Thursday on Prime Video. Returning cast members include Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Jessie T. Usher, Erin Moriarty and Chace Crawford. New to the cast are Valorie Curry and Susan Heyward as two new superheroes, Firecracker and Sister Sage. Jeffrey Dean Morgan ("Grey's Anatomy", "The Walking Dead") has also been cast in a mysterious role. DETAILS “Tuesday” Julia Louis-Dreyfus plays a mother to a teenage daughter who meets death in the form of a talking bird in this fairy tale-esque debut from Daina O. Pusić. Opens Friday in area theaters. DETAILS "Camp Snoopy" Just in time for summer vacation, a new Peanuts series called "Camp Snoopy" premieres Friday, June 14 on Apple TV+. Snoopy and the Beagle Scouts set out to earn their merit badges by completing outdoor activities while Charlie Brown and his friends have their own adventures attending camp. DETAILS "Find My Country House" From farmhouses to mountain retreats to ranches, couples seek out their ideal country dwelling in the new show "Find My Country House" for A&E. Trish Suhr hosts the show dropping on Saturday, June 15. "Find My Country House" is co-produced by Reese Witherspoon's production company, Hello Sunshine. It streams the next day on A&E app, AETV.com, and across major TV providers' VOD platforms. DETAILS "Hotel Cocaine" MGM+ rewinds time to 1970's Miami when cocaine was king in "Hotel Cocaine," debuting Sunday, June 16. Danny Pino stars as a Cuban exile working as the general manager of the Mutiny Hotel with the hottest club in town. Pino's character manages to stay neutral between the drug lords and the government officials who frequent the place until he's ordered to connect with his estranged drug king pin brother. Michael Chiklis and Mark Feuerstein also star. DETAILS "Danger in the Dorm" Bethenny Frankel makes her Lifetime acting debut in an original TV movie called "Danger in the Dorm." It's about a mother trying to protect her daughter when a killer is on the loose at a college campus. The story is based on a true crime short covered by Ann Rule in her early days of writing. "Danger in the Dorm" premieres Sunday, June 16 and streams next day on mylifetime.com, Hulu Live, and be available to download to own on Amazon and Apple TV. DETAILS "Brats" Ah, the Brat Pack. Generations of young stars have come and gone since that 1980s rush of fresh faces like Ally Sheedy, Rob Lowe, Demi Moore, Molly Ringwald and Emilio Estevez, but no crop has since been quite so defined in the public imagination. In "Brats," which debuted Thursday on Hulu, actor Andrew McCarthy sets out to reconnect with some of this fellow Brat Pack alum, including all those mentioned above. For them, it was a complicated and often unwanted label, though some have since come to terms with it. DETAILS "Origin" Ava DuVernay's stirringly humanistic adaptation of Isabel Wilkerson's bestseller "Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents," begins streaming Monday on Hulu. In the film, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor stars as Wilkerson, portraying the author as she investigates historical and contemporary cases of caste systems while navigating personal relationships that put broad social constructs into an intimate context. "Origin" was too much overlooked during awards season and its January theatrical run despite enthusiastic reviews from critics. Those included AP Film Writer Lindsey Bahr who called it "a powerful and artistic interpretation of an academic book that was anything but an obvious candidate for a narrative feature." DETAILS "Dumb Money" Another movie that failed to quite click with moviegoers in theaters but that's deserving of another look is "Dumb Money," Craig Gillespie's entertaining romp through the GameStop stock frenzy. It may sound like another "Big Short"-esque riff on financial farce, and "Dumb Money" is sort of is that. But it's a fun David vs. Goliath story with an energetic cast (including Paul Dano, America Ferrera, Anthony Ramos, Pete Davidson and Nick Offerman) that does a surprisingly good job of nailing the pandemic year of 2021, its TikTok memes and a short-lived shift in Wall Street power dynamics. In his review, AP's Mark Kennedy wrote "the little guy — or at least the little guy with a few hundred bucks to sink into the stock market — gets a movie to cheer." DETAILS |

Tickets start at $32.55. 7 p.m., June 14. Blossom Music Center, 1145 W. Steels Corners Rd., Cuyahoga Falls. DETAILS Related: These men of a certain age still feel like New Kids on the Block Day To Remember: The Least Anticipated Album Tour The pop-punk metalcore revivalists and “pop-mosh” mavens don’t have a new album but they do have a new single, “Miracle,” and an apparently not-very-anticipated album on the way. The Story So Far, Four Year Strong and Militarie Gun will open at Jacob’s Pavilion. Tickets start at $49 and are available at axs.com. 5:30 p.m., June 14. Jacob’s Pavilion, 2014 Sycamore St., Cleveland. DETAILS Goose The hard-touring and tuneful Connecticut indie-jam popsters have a new studio EP, “Autumn Crossing,” to go with their many live recordings. Tickets start at $64.50 and are available at axs.com. 7:30 p.m., June 16. Jacob’s Pavilion, 2014 Sycamore St., Cleveland. DETAILS Michael Franti & Spearhead / Stephen Marley Dynamic reggae-funk hip-hop ensemble brings sunshine with one of the sons of “Tuff Gong” to Cain Park. Tickets are available at etix.com. 6 p.m., June 16. Cain Park, 14591 Superior Rd., Cleveland Heights. DETAILS Horsegirl Noisy Chicago rock trio opened The Breeders’ 2023 gig at Rock Hall.

House of Blues, 308 Euclid Ave., Cleveland. DETAILS Paul McCartney & Wings On Friday, June 14, Paul McCartney & Wings will finally, officially release one of the most widely bootlegged albums of all time — 50 years after it was originally recorded — "One Hand Clapping." Fans have long been familiar with the collection, recorded at Abbey Road as Wings filmed a documentary, but they've never heard this material straight from the source. McCartney fans, this one is for you. DETAILS Normani Normani, once one fifth of the American girl group Fifth Harmony, has long been set up to be a solo success story. Her 2019 single "Motivation" established the R&B-pop singer as a future icon, as Mesfin Fekadu described her in The Associated Press' top 10 songs list of that year, for her masterful vocal performance atop the song's brassy horns and earworm groove. Half a decade later, her debut solo album, "Dopamine" will arrive. Little is known about the release, but if her first singles are a tease of what's to come — the sultry slow burn "1:59" featuring Gunna and the bouncy "Candy Paint" — it's going to provide listeners with that sweet, happy chemical of the album's title. DETAILS Dei V Those with their ear to the ground in the urbano-Latin trap scene are already familiar with Puerto Rican singer Dei V and his many collaborations with megastars Karol G, Anuel AA, Ozuna, Bryant Myers, Myke Towers and others, but it is not too late to jump on board. On Friday, June 14, Dei V will release "Quien Es Dei V?", his debut album, featuring the sexy single "Martini" and its shimmering production, and the R-rated "Clima." DETAILS |
