Goodrich-Kirtland Park Neighborhood Guide
Payne Avenue Pho and Forklift-Chic
🧭The Boundaries: Lake Erie and the E. 55th Marina to the north, the I-90 rail yards to the south, E. 55th St to the east, and Dead Man’s Curve (E. 30th) to the west.
📌Well known for: It’s the "Industrial Gateway." It’s home to the heart of AsiaTown along Payne and Superior Avenues, including the legendary Li Wah and Siam Cafe. It’s also where you'll find the E. 55th Street Fishing Pier, where people catch perch while watching 700-foot freighters glide by.
👕Spot a Local By: Hoarding chopsticks like currency and knowing exactly which hole in the fence at E. 55th gives you the best view of the skyline.
👍Move here for: Rent sanity and nonstop noodle options. This is a "quietly hungry" neighborhood where you can live in a massive, high-ceiling loft and walk to three different world-class dim sum spots.
👎Don't say we didn't warn you about: Salt spray and parking roulette. Being this close to the lake and the Innerbelt means your car will be permanently gray in the winter.
