Erieview Tower may have been seen as an eyesore by some, but on its 38th floor it housed one of Cleveland's most prized restaurants, Stouffer's Top of the Town. The Stouffer company had started four decades earlier just down the street with a simple lunch counter. It expanded to a local chain of restaurants by the mid 1930s and then opened a New York restaurant before launching what became a ubiquitous frozen-food business and signature restaurants in several major cities' downtowns. For Clevelanders, the Top of the Town was a special experience – Duck a l'Orange and nightly live WHK radio broadcasts, all with a "glittering panorama of the city, the lake, and far beyond" – from 1964 until its closing in 1995. | Date: May 1975 | Source: Cleveland MagazineDownload Original File
