Oh, the classic post-holiday letdown. You know the one: Christmas is over and it’s time to turn off the holiday playlist, un-deck the halls, and delete all the Hallmark movies you had recorded. Everyone pretends they’re excited to move onto New Year’s, but in reality, we all just want to keep wrapping presents and sipping hot cocoa. Luckily, do I have a solution for you: the Best Chocolate Chip Muffins! These and a glass of milk will drown all your after-Christmas sorrows.

27 Club Coffee in Cleveland, Ohio Review
Everybody in my town has been buzzing about 27 Club Coffee, a totally cool, punk new brunch spot owned by Machine Gun Kelly in the Flats. Being that the place is shrouded in hues of millennial pink and conceptualized around the dark, yet intriguing theme of celebrities dying young, it makes sense that teenagers would be talking about it. So when my best friend texted me about it, I was more than ready to go and get the 27 Club Coffee experience. We took the drive up to Cleveland on a brisk Saturday in the midst of all the election stress, kind of as a self-care day. (Turns out we were worried for nothing, but still, chicken and waffles are always a good idea).
