Anna Marie Harouvis has been a trailblazer in Cleveland’s vegan and juicing scenes for more than 25 years. Since founding Anna in the Raw in 2001, she’s blended her passion for animal welfare, culinary expertise and dedication to health into a personalized approach to raw vegan living.
Vegan Eats [The Flats’] 27 Club has a crunchy taco salad with sour cream made from macadamia nuts. To find vegan, gluten-free and some raw components is such a lovely thing. Dahlia [Coffee Co. on West 114th] also makes a vegan horchata,and it’s so good. I love Betts [Downtown]; I’ve met a lot of people for dinner there.
Grab and Go Green Goat Cafe [Downtown] has good smoothies, and I like their bowls for when I’m in a hurry. They make a really good acai bowl. If you do one raw meal a day, like a juice or a bowl, or just have your fruit and veggies, I think you’re going to add a lot of years to your life and a lot of vitality to your day.

Get Moving I’m addicted to White Cloud Studios. They just opened up a new one in Van Aken. I love Pilates. Troy and Raudel are the best. I started it when they had a place in Lakewood in 2000. I love our art museum. I tell everybody that comes to town to check it out. It’s one of the last free museums in the country, and it’s just so beautiful. Their events on every first Friday of the month — that’s my jam, because you can have a cocktail and still feel very fancy and classy.
Sweet Treat Jeni’s [Ice Creams] has some flavors that are vegan and gluten-free. I usually just go with whatever they have seasonally. Mitchell’s [Ice Cream] is always good, and Mason’s Creamery [Ohio City] is my go-to in the summer. I was super happy, because more brands that are national are pushing the vegan options, and I think it opens up doors to other people to try.
