Blazing Bistro: Built inside a shipping container, this faux food truck sits behind the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum on the East Ninth Street Pier, where Lutheran Metropolitan Ministry culinary program graduates fire up a variety of old-school street treats. Try one of the three kinds of fries — eggplant ($7), waffle or funnel cake ($4). "I try to keep it fresh, light and keep everything simple," says chef Mark Ridenour.

That's the thought behind this shipping container boutique, a sassy collaboration between Willoughby's Blue Envelope and Edge Hair Studios. You'll find tie-dyed journals, cellphone cases imprinted with "I'm very busy," plus organic, biodegradable hair products. "It's such a fun combination of smart-ass, pretty stuff," says Blue Envelope owner Rachel Prem.
