EAST 4TH STREET

East 4th has a long and storied history. Starting out as Cleveland's first theater district at the turn of the 20th century, East 4th was home to the Euclid Avenue Opera House and several costume shops catering to street performers. After the opera house burned to the ground in 1920, the street became a haven for bargain shoppers at five and dimes such as Woolworth, McCrory's and Kresge's... Following decades of decline and vacancy, East 4th got a new lease on life with the opening of Pickwick and Frolic Restaurant and Comedy Club in September of 2002. Nick Kostis, owner of Pickwick and Frolic imagined the street as something from his childhood in Brooklyn, NY, a vibrant neighborhood of bars, restaurants and shops in the heart of the city.
