Clevelander Tips

I n Cleveland, “soda” is referred to as “pop.”

If you hear “Burning River” or “Holy Moses,” it’s just someone ordering a craft beer made locally by Great Lakes Brewing Company. Many Clevelanders identify themselves as being either eastsiders or westsiders (the division being the Cuyahoga River), but all seem to claim downtown.

History

leveland has a proud history that is C 225 years in the making. General Moses Cleaveland of the Connecticut Land Company came to the Western Reserve and founded the City of Cleveland in 1796. The name changed to its current spelling in 1831 when the “a” was dropped in order to fit the city’s name on a newspaper masthead.

Fun Facts

leveland is the home of Jerry Siegel and C Joe Shuster, the creators of Superman, as well as a filming location for major motion pictures, including “A Christmas Story,” “The Avengers” and “Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier.” Oscar winners Paul Newman and Halle Berry hail from the region. So does Hall of Fame guitarist, Joe Walsh, who honed his craft with The James Gang in the 1970s with the popular single “Funk #49.” LifeSavers candy, the modern golf ball and the electric streetlight are all Cleveland firsts invented right here in Cleveland.

Location + Population

leveland, located in the Eastern Standard C Time Zone (EST) in the State of Ohio within Cuyahoga County, is on the southern shore of Lake Erie, part of the Great Lakes Region. leveland-Akron-Canton comprises the C 15th largest combined metro area in the United States with more than 2 million residents in the Greater Cleveland metropolitan statistical area (MSA) and nearly 400,000 in the City of Cleveland.

Business

leveland has a $238 billion annual C economy and is home to a number of companies that are on Fortune magazine’s list of the top 500 industrial and top 500 service companies in the United States, including KeyCorp, Sherwin-Williams, Eaton Corp and Progressive Insurance.

CLEAN COMMITTED We commit to employ safe practices.

In Cleveland, our word is our bond. And Destination Cleveland’s CLEAN COMMITTED program asks business owners for their word to help ensure a safe and responsible environment for Cleveland’s hospitality, entertainment and tourism industries. The program requests a voluntary commitment to a standard set of safe practices established by the region’s top health care experts. The Clean Committed approach includes: Clean Environment Enhanced cleaning and sanitation, including cleaning merchandise before stocking and modified hours for additional cleaning.

Physical Distancing Capacity limits and updated floor plans to create at least 6-feet distancing all around; staggered entry of customers/guests; and arrange furniture/fixtures/checkout and waiting lines to meet physical distancing guidelines.

Engineering Controls Installation of physical barriers between employees/customers where possible; touchless solutions to limit staff contact where practical; and increase ventilation rates or increase percentage of outdoor air that circulates into HVAC system, if applicable/practical.

Help Prevent the Spread of Germs Require employees to wear face coverings at all times (per state/local guidelines) and more frequent hand washing; review ADA requests for not wearing masks; conduct daily employee health assessments; ask employees who have symptoms to stay home and follow CDC-recommended steps.

Asking Customers to Employ Safe Practices Request clients/customers wear face coverings; encourage hand hygiene with washing facilities and sanitizer in high-contact places; and use appointment/reservations setting where possible.

Hundreds of Cleveland’s hospitality businesses, attractions and hotels are committed to cleanliness and employing safe practices. When you’re ready to head out, check to see if your destination is listed in our CLEAN COMMITTED directory at www.cleancommitted.com.

Pearl’s Kitchen

By Robert Gatewood and Jen Jones Donatelli

>

Pearl’s Kitchen (Ohio City) On the heels of her successful catering business, Tiwanna Scott-Williams is bringing her brand of “inspired comfort food” to the Sauce the City food hall. (Can you say bourbon cream bread pudding?)

>

The Haunted House Restaurant (Cleveland Heights) If you can manage to snag a rezzie, bring your boo and sink your fangs into dishes like the “Children of the Street Corn” and “Nashville Massacre” fried hot shrimp.

>

Roaming Biscuit (St. Clair-Superior) Clevelanders have happily followed Shawnda Moye’s breakfast pop-up around town since 2019, but now they can hit up its new café inside Tyler Village for crave-worthy biscuits and sammies.

>

Capo Steaks (Glenville | University Circle) Yelpers rave about Capo Steaks having “better cheesesteaks than Philly,” and turns out it’s not just hype. Taste for yourself with this popular spot’s real-deal cheesesteaks, Polish Boys and hoagies.

>

Black Box Fix (Glenville | Legacy Village) Get your gourmet sandwich fix courtesy of chef Eric Rogers, who adds Creole and Cajun flair to favorites like cheesesteaks and Reubens. (And did we mention the giant portions?)

>

The Boiler 65 (Detroit Shoreway | South Euclid) When it comes to Cajun/Asian fusion, they’ve got it in the bag (literally). Mix and match boiled crab, shrimp, lobster and crawfish with corn, sausage and potatoes.

>

Battiste & Dupree Cajun Grill (South Euclid) This three-time “Taste of Cleveland” winner is known for New Orleans-inspired dishes like chicken remoulade, jambalaya, gumbo and fried green tomatoes. Snag a sixer of mixed micro-brews to go or grab some pralines to satisfy your sweet tooth.

>

Angie’s Soul Café (Cleveland | Warrensville Hts.) Angie Jeter brought down-home South Carolina cooking to Cleveland in 1986 with her own spin, and she’s been satisfying local soul food lovers ever since with staples such as Carolina-style catfish and collard greens.

>

Irie Jamaican Kitchen (Collinwood | Old Brooklyn) Devotees of Irie Jamaican Kitchen swear by chef Omar McKay’s traditional and fusion Jamaican dishes, delivered in bowls and wraps. (Try the stew chicken for true “Jah-potle” goodness.) Bob Marley would approve!

See the spot where the Cleveland Buckeyes clinched the 1945 Negro League World Series, then explore the adjacent museum packed with stories and sports treasures from the lost Latin, Caribbean, Barnstormer, Negro and Women’s leagues.

Every February, organizations including the Cleveland Orchestra, Karamu House, Playhouse Square and many more commemorate Black History Month with a compelling lineup of initiatives and programs.

Cases in point: Going on 18 years strong, the Cavaliers are expected to host their annual Black Heritage Month, while the Cleveland Pops Orchestra will pay homage to the music of George Gershwin, Duke Ellington, Fats Waller and Scott Joplin on February 18, 2022, with a Black History Month celebration concert.

Cozad-Bates House Interpretive Center Long regarded for its important role on the Underground Railroad, the Cozad-Bates House stands as the only surviving pre-Civil War structure in University Circle. Its new indoor-outdoor interpretive center underscores the area’s significance in the abolitionist movement with photos, newspaper articles, engravings and more.

SHAPING THE SKYLINE CLEVELAND 2.0 IS ON THE RISE ( HIGH - RISE, THAT IS ).

By Jen Jones Donatelli and Ken Schneck

Downtown Cleveland has a goal of reaching 30,000 residents by 2030, and the city has no shortage of shiny new spots to attract them. Cases in point: the 29-story The Beacon (featuring unobstructed city views) and the 34-story The Lumen (Playhouse Square’s shining star).

New projects also abound along Euclid Avenue, including the 23-story City Club Apartments (replete with rooftop pool). For those residents who work at Sherwin-Williams, they’ll soon have a short commute as the new $600 million, 36-story headquarters comes to life nearby Public Square.

Outside of Downtown, new investment continues to pour into Cleveland’s neighborhoods, such as Ohio City— where mixed-use development INTRO will be one of the country’s tallest timber-frame building when completed across from the historic West Side Market.

The Lumen

But that’s far from the only lofty project in progress!

Also in Ohio City, Bridgeworks will bring a mix of residential and retail to the corner of Detroit and West 25th, while Circle Square Development is hard at work bringing more housing, workspace and even a new public library to University Circle. Neighborhoods like Fairfax, Hough and Slavic Village are following suit with ambitious projects-in-progress including Innovation Square, Chester75 and 5115 The Rising, respectively.

With over five decades of history, the Cavs have had no shortage of epic moments— most notably the “Miracle of Richfield” in 1976 and the 3-1 comeback led by LeBron James in 2016. After calling Cleveland Arena and Richfield Coliseum home for 24 years, the team moved Downtown in 1994 to what is now known as Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse (after a few iterations as Gund Arena and “The Q”). Banners dot the arena in celebration of franchise greats like Austin Carr and Mark Price and commemoration of 22 playoff appearances— including the team’s unforgettable 2016 NBA Championship.

And 2021 may follow suit as the Cavaliers’ first-round draft pick, power forward Evan Mobley, energizes Y: LE EVAN M OB the freshly SE VE N FE ET renovated arena.

1997 NBA All Star Game

ALL-STAR LEGACY

By Christopher Johnston

With Cleveland set to host the All-Star game for the third time, the February 2022 contest at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse will commemorate the NBA’s 75th anniversary. Fittingly, during the 1997 All-Star Game, the league had celebrated its 50th anniversary here in The Land by naming the 50 greatest players in NBA history.

Glen Rice led all scorers and became the first Hornets player to be named MVP, though the Bulls’ untouchable Michael Jordan became the first in All-Star Game history to register a triple-double.

The league also hosted the NBA All-Star game in Cleveland back in 1981 at the storied Richfield Coliseum. At 6’1,” the Celtics’ Nate Archibald was the shortest player in the game, but stood tall with a solid MVP performance.

CHEER SQUAD JOIN THE DAWG POUND AT THESE LIVELY WATCH SPOTS

DESTINATION: BROWNSTOWN [ Vince Guerreri ] If you hopped in a DeLorean and set the date for September 6, 1946, you’d see the Cleveland Browns taking the field for their very first game—a resounding 44-0 drubbing of the Miami Seahawks that set the tone for a dynasty with eight championships. Seventy-five years later—after 11 wins and the team’s first playoff victory in 26 years—fans are ready for a party. To mark the occasion, the Browns have unveiled throwback uniforms from that first season. With matchups against rivals Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Cincinnati, plus home games against the Cardinals and Broncos, the lakefront will be the place to be this fall.

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Inductions

THE HOUSE THAT ROCK BUILT

Stodgy museums, step to the side: The glass-enclosed Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is a hip-shaking, guitar-flinging reminder of why Cleveland is ground zero for world-famous music. Memorabilia immortalizes the radio DJs and recording artists who invented the genre, while special galleries honor those who paved the way (such as Cleveland native Leo Mintz, the former Record Rendezvous owner largely considered one of the founding fathers of rock). And much like rock-and-roll itself, the multi-level museum just keeps on evolving.

Class of 2021 We’re pretty amped about the return of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony to Cleveland this fall (October 30, 2021), as are the illustrious new class of 13 inductees ranging from Tina Turner to Kraftwerk to the Foo Fighters. Giving new meaning to “arena rock,” the ceremony will also make the move to Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse this year—going bigger, better and best of both worlds with a radio simulcast and other virtual components. Rock on!

For Those About to Rock, We Salute You After being temporarily closed due to COVID, The Garage exhibit has reopened and is turning it back up to 11. This hands-on, interactive space lets visitors fulfill their dreams of rock god(dess) status with the chance to play real instruments and jam garage band-style. (Hey, Nirvana started that way—why not you?)

Also, check out the new “Garage Gear” exhibit highlighting items from the museum’s collection, such as Les Paul’s “The Plank” guitar circa 1940 or Eddie Van Halen’s hand-built Peavey Wolfgang guitar.

Think Clevelanders can’t brave the elements? Brrr-ing it!

Brite Winter—Cleveland’s coldweather music fest—makes its in-person return on February 26, 2022 on the Flats West Bank.

Though details are still on ice due to COVID, this one-of-a-kind festival traditionally offers not only a killer music lineup with both regional and national acts, but also interactive art installations and offbeat tented experiences.

(Imagine what might happen if Burning Man and Lollapalooza had a baby, and it was born at the North Pole.) Oh, and for those who like their live music between four (warm) walls, the show also typically offers satellite performances in local bars.

Let the show begin!

On any given night, the city by the lake is serving up smooth sounds and good vibes at bars and clubs such as Nighttown—a Cleveland Heights classic set to reopen soon under new ownership. Over in Warrensville Heights, Frederick’s Wine & Dine’s 110-seat restaurant lives up to its name with an extensive menu and impressive live jazz lineup. Need a sure thing? Catch a show at the Bop Stop, named a great date spot by eHarmony in 2016. As Hingetown’s resident performance venue, this sophisticated spot boasts Lake Erie vistas and Music Settlement-curated lineups. And for craft cocktails, cool jazz, and slick piano stylings, look no further than the eclectic Velvet Tango Room at the edge of Tremont and Ohio City.

At A Separate Reality, owner Augustus Payne keeps it old-school with a massive selection of rare finds from the 1960s-1990s— sealing the deal as Cleveland’s largest used vinyl store.

Located inside 78th Street Studios, Bent Crayon Records doesn’t just sell records—they are dedicated to carrying “important music” with a killer catalog of electronic and underground rock.

A retail shop and a bona fide record label, My Mind’s Eye Records is a haven for punk, metal and rock. Committed to stocking “records that the others don’t care about,” rare finds abound.

Let Blue Arrow point the way to a treasure trove of used LPs, music memorabilia and retro tees.

You’ll know you’re in the right place by the floor covered in vintage album covers.

Who better than a DJ to curate a killer collection of hip-hop, reggae, soul and jazz? Owned by Brittany “DJ Red-I” Benton, Brittany’s Record Shop brings the beat to Glenville.

PUBLIC VISIONS

THE VOICES OF CLE PROJECT IS SPARKING IMPORTANT DIALOGUE

For the viewer, a public artwork might be a mere object of beauty, or perhaps a comment on the surrounding streetscape. The Voices of CLE project seeks to elevate the potential of public art by pairing local artists of color with businesses and organizations eager to display their work.

The end goal? To provoke emotion, foster healing and engender empathy by promoting meaningful conversations about race and community. Meet the Voices of CLE:

Stina Aleah An accomplished oil painter, Stina Aleah discovered her talent for art almost by accident after a broken leg sidelined her high school track career. Her works center the experiences of modern Black women, seeking to highlight their beauty and shatter stereotypes in the process. Her paintings can be found adorning the windows of 1350 West St. Clair Ave. and on Public Square.

Jerome White Since childhood, Jerome White has pursued his passion for art. Today he works to instill that same passion in others as an art teacher at Cleveland Heights High School and by participating in mural projects throughout the city. White believes that, in creating art, he acts as a conduit for inspiration from a higher power. His Voices of CLE work can be viewed at North Coast Harbor.

2021-22 FALL/WINTER Official Visitors Guide

Rashaun Dillard As a child, Rashaun Dillard first explored art by drawing comic book heroes. Since then, his path has followed that of a traditional artist, working in acrylics and as a digital creator. Dillard’s paintings often contain social commentary, and he hopes his Voices of CLE work—which can be seen at North Coast Harbor and alongside Aleah’s on West St. Clair—will stimulate productive conversations and convey a message of unity.

>

Lauren Pearce By combining bold, geometric and abstract elements with portraiture, Lauren Pearce has created her own distinctive signature. She uses her mixed-media images to explore the complex intersections of race and gender that inform her identity. A selection of her large-scale work can be viewed at 770 St. Clair Ave.

TAKING CHANCES

By Aja Hannah

In the cozy space of Transformer Station, a hook and crane still hang—an ever-present reminder of the past amid a thoughtfully curated array of contemporary art. Set in a 1924 railroad substation, this free museum has become a highlight in Hingetown. At nearby SPACES, the conversation between local and global artists ignites into enduring, provocative work (with a neon “ART” sign leading the way).

Across town in University Circle, a giant silver hand beckons art aficionados into moCa’s four-story geometric feat of architecture. This contemporary art museum continues to push the envelope with several new exhibitions each year. And for those who enjoy a good poetry slam, Twelve Literary Arts in Collinwood delivers with socially conscious programming and events for all ages.

5 PLACES TO EAT RIGHT NOW

By Lisa Sands and Mary Mihaly

>

Raising the Bar Hang at Bar Oni, a Japanese sports bar (or izakaya) serving small plates imagined by innovative and provocative chef Matt Spinner. Root for the home team while chomping on yakitori, dumplings, sashimi and wings. Drink offerings are intentionally different— think DIY hi-balls and Japanese whiskey cocktails. But whatever you do, don’t. ask. for. yum. yum. sauce. (Just trust us.)

>

Katz Out of the Bag Fun to say; even more fun to eat! Zhug was named one of Esquire’s best new restaurants in 2020. (No big deal.) Chef Douglas Katz artfully embellishes the area’s Middle Eastern food offerings. Specialties like labneh, lutenitsa, muhamara and moussaka roll off the tongue and also make for a memorable, satisfying dining experience.

>

Pick Up (Chop)stix “Transcendental sushi” is quite a claim, but chef extraordinaire Dante Boccuzzi easily lives up to it at Goma. (Not surprising, considering Nobu Matsuhisa was one of his mentors.) Take your pick from the extensive sake menu, then settle in at the marble sushi bar for a magical Japanese fusion feast—concluding with green tea creme brûlée.

>

Under the Sea Mediterranean seafood and rich meats are the specialties at Acqua di Luca, harkening to chef Luca Sema’s life on the Adriatic. Staples like swordfish and bone-in ribeye are on the menu, but his inventive combos are the most fun: osso buco with grilled scampi, or filet with lobster gnocchi.

Pair them with an Amarone from Italy or Pinot Bianco, and that’s amore!

>

Thai One On Thai Thai offers comfort food with a twist: Bangkok-inspired street food, served with authentic bubble tea. The most in-demand dish at this Lakewood spot is Kra Praow (spicy Thai basil meat with fresh chili, garlic and fried egg over jasmine rice). Running a close second is the “Taste of Cleveland”-winning Gai Yang (marinated chicken-on-a-stick).

Zoma In the immortal words of James Brown, please please please try Zoma’s meatless or vegetarian tibs, a hearty stew both filling and delicious. And if you find it odd that tiramisu is on the dessert menu, read up on Italy’s influence on Ethiopian cuisine before ordering. You will thank us later.

So many tempting choices may induce a case of analysis paralysis— but luckily, you can’t go wrong at these trendy food halls. Start your tasting tour at Van Aken District, which can surely satisfy any craving from pasta (Scorpacciata Pasta Co.) to poutine (Banter) to sushi (Domo Yakitori & Sushi) with a lineup of 20+ sit-down restaurants and Market Hall stalls.

Empress Taytu In the mood for a small plate?

Empress Taytu’s appetizers are every bit as delectable as their entrées, with a wide array of vegan and gluten-free options. Order the avocado salata or the Kai’sir beet-and-potato salad with house vinaigrette.

Across town in Detroit Shoreway, former Spice Kitchen owner Ben Bebenroth is cooking up something fresh with Keep the Change Kitchen Collective. This “virtual food hall” offers everything from wings to hearty salads to Asian noodle-and-rice bowls. In Ohio City, Sauce the City Galley unites rising chefs and restaurants under one roof with Sauce the City (hot fried chicken), Good Meal Jane (Detroit-style pizza) and Pearl’s Kitchen (Southern comfort food).

Choukouya Resto-Bar Your meal begins with an aptly named Refreshing Bliss—a craft cocktail made with champagne, ginger beer, peach schnapps and fresh strawberries.

Keep the palate party going with pomme lyonnaise (fried African potatoes) and grilled lamb served with zucchini and jollof rice.

There’s always something exciting bubbling up in Cleveland’s lively beer scene. North High Brewing has been adding fresh flavor to brewery-packed Hingetown since expanding from Columbus in June. Meanwhile, the punky, pioneering Scottish import BrewDog will soon plant its flag— and a huge beer garden—over on the Flats Scranton Peninsula. Speaking of canine companions, they and their humans can lap up refreshing fun at Downtown’s Bark and Brew, an indoor dog park and self-pour bar.

And arriving soon in Lakewood: Immigrant Son Brewing, bringing adventurous spins on classic beers and Eastern European-accented fare.

while those a tad less adventurous may enjoy the pan-fried noodles or deep-fried shrimp. (And everyone will crave the soup dumplings.)

LI WAH Launched in 1991 by Donna Hom, Li Wah is a Cleveland mainstay open 365 days a year. The enduring Chinese eatery offers an assortment of traditional dim sum, as well as a generous menu of authentic Hong Kong-style cuisine and fresh seafood.

(They’ve got the fish tank to prove it.)

BALL BALL WAFFLE You say “egg waffle,” I say “bubble waffle,” but we can all agree that Ball Ball Waffle is Cleveland’s top spot to enjoy this well-loved Hong Kong street food.

WAREHOUSE DISTRICT

The 52-story Terminal Tower splits the Cleveland skyline like a towering cloud buster. It’s rightfully a city symbol. At the tower’s base is the renovated Regional Transit Authority’s light rail system. Inside is the ornate Tower City Center, home to a retail mall, food court, cinema and a rich selection of hotels and restaurants. Next door is the gambler’s paradise, JACK Cleveland Casino, taking bets daily in the historic Higbee Building on Public Square.

If you’re going to brave that cute, black, cocktail dress (fab, btw), then we suggest you take your entourage to the Warehouse District. Explore club life, upscale eating options and valet parking on West 6th, West 9th and West St. Clair (spots like the Nauti Mermaid, Blue Point Grille and Acqua di Luca).

The historic warehouses that give this district its name are also home to posh renovated condos and lofts. Young urban socialites live above; Cleveland nightlife buzzes below.

2021-22 FALL/WINTER Official Visitors Guide

Where do jocks, nerds and punks commune on the weekends? It’s called the North Coast Harbor — home to Cleveland’s great monuments to sports, science, history and rock music.

Roll call includes: the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame; Great Lakes Science Center; FirstEnergy Stadium (home of the Cleveland Browns); Steamship William G. Mather; the U.S.S. Cod World War II submarine; the Goodtime III sightseeing boat; North Coast Harbor Marina; and the International Women’s Air and Space Museum.

CIVIC CENTER DISTRICT The heart of business and government is found in the Civic Center, home to historic government and community buildings, public art, gardens and fountains and hotels and banks. The highlight of the area is a three-blocklong outdoor Mall, containing beautiful pedestrian walkways that stretch from the heart of Downtown to the lakefront bluffs. Below the Mall is Cleveland’s new Huntington Convention Center attached to the above ground Cleveland Public Auditorium and Hilton Cleveland Downtown.

GATEWAY DISTRICT

NINETWELVE & AVENUE DISTRICTS

Those who are directionally-challenged needn’t worry: Smack in front of the city (you can’t possibly miss it), two big stadiums – Progressive Field and Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse – host Cleveland Indians baseball, Cleveland Cavaliers basketball, Cleveland Monsters hockey, Cleveland Gladiators arena football and national tours from Jay Z to Disney on Ice. But be warned: Surrounding pubs and brewpubs offer sanctuary for fans coping with both big wins and epic losses.

One of Cleveland’s bustling business hubs, the NineTwelve District (between East 9th and East 12th Streets) is attracting as many tourists as tailored suits these days. The public catch rays at renovated Perk Park — home to food trucks on Walnut Wednesdays — while craft beer drinkers toast to new brewpubs, Masthead and Noble Beast, and sightseers seek out the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland’s Learning Center and Money Museum.

East 4th Street

College kids know how to have fun, so why not crash the party and maybe learn a thing or two? Cleveland State University and Cuyahoga Community College Metro Campus is just east of Downtown, and its mix of arts, bars, cafes and campus life is both entertaining and educational. Plus, Cleveland State’s Wolstein Center hosts the Cleveland State University Vikings basketball team, special events and awesome A-list concerts. © CODY YORK

CAMPUS DISTRICT

EAST 4TH STREET Intuition says stay out of alleys, but East 4th Street in the Gateway District might be the coolest alley in America.

This narrow brick street is home to famous bistros from Iron Chef Michael Symon (Mabel's BBQ) and Michelin Star Chef Dante Boccuzzi (Goma).

Citizen Pie Roman Cafe brings a slice of Rome to Cleveland. You can clown it down with cocktails and friends at Hilarities Comedy Club and even roll a solid 10 frames of bowling at the upscale Corner Alley.

PLAYHOUSE SQUARE The 20-foot-tall outdoor G.E. Chandelier now hangs above Playhouse Square, and it’s attracting swarms of theater buffs. Beneath that newly-installed, 8,000-pound chandelier sits the second largest performing arts center in the country.

Playhouse Square is Cleveland’s Theater District, and its beautifully restored theatres are homes to opera, ballet, concerts, the Broadway Series and the Great Lakes Theater troupe. Before or after a show, dine and discuss stage antics at nearby eateries.

The Flats

THE FLATS The Flats used to be Cleveland party headquarters in the ‘80s and ‘90s. But things have changed… for the better. Today, The Flats is again bustling with river recreation and trendy entertainment. The east bank is reinvented around residential apartments, the Aloft Hotel, restaurants and bars like Punch Bowl Social, Thirsty Dog Brewery and Margaritaville, and a 1,000-foot boardwalk along the Cuyahoga River.

The Nautica Entertainment Complex (on the west bank) has reintroduced family fun to the area with the Greater Cleveland Aquarium, Jacobs Pavilion and the Nautica Queen cruise ship.

Plus, nearby Music Box Supper Club offers a solid line-up of river views, casual fine dining and live music.

Foodies and fans of craft beer call Ohio City’s Market District their urban oasis. Just across the Cuyahoga River, west of Downtown, the city’s yellow-bricked West Side Market has been home to haggle-friendly meat, seafood and veggie vendors for more than 100 years, but it’s Ohio City’s Victorian-era homes, boutique eateries and famous craft brewers (like Great Lakes Brewing Co.) that have made it one of the city’s symbols for urban renewal (where hip meets heritage).

But its coolest locale might be the entrepreneurial and arty district of Hingetown, which “hinges” Market District and Gordon Square Arts District into Ohio City.

Must-Do Things

This blue-collar neighborhood balances Cleveland’s big city feel with cozy, small town charm. Minutes from Downtown, Tremont is one of Cleveland’s oldest communities, and for all we know, might just be stuck in time. Just look at those old cottages, bygone neighborhood bars, beautiful churches and cordial local characters. Look closer and notice those come-as-you-are bars are sandwiched between Food Network-famous restaurants, art galleries and even a pop culture monument (A Christmas Story House and Museum).

If University Circle is Cleveland’s international art capital, Gordon Square Arts District (along the Detroit Shoreway) is the city’s bohemian quarter.

Institutions like the Cleveland Public Theatre and the Capitol Theatre draw the terminally arty and interesting to local stages and indie cinema. The hip and hungry seek out bistros and bars from Happy Dog to The Boiler 65, and urban greenery like the lakefront’s Edgewater Park attracts everyone from dog-walkers to desperate surfboarders, while Gordon Square’s old homes and elegant mansions create a stately backdrop.

Minutes from University Circle, Little Italy and Downtown, drive the car or take advantage of two light-rail Rapid Transit lines to reach the square’s four quadrants. Just be prepared to argue over where to eat (Balaton or Zanzibar Soul Fusion), where to shop (Fashions

Prefer to appreciate rather than create? See a show at indie music mecca Beachland Ballroom and Tavern, or take a leisurely stroll through the area’s art galleries (14 and counting).

lakewood LAKEWOOD, OHIO | 216.521.7580 | ONELAKEWOOD.COM On the shores of Lake Erie, Lakewood’s great bars, grand old mansions and fine selection of shops and green space attract Cleveland’s young workforce and its old money. Relaxing parks balance Detroit Avenue’s bustling commerce, making downtown Lakewood both bike- and pedestrian-friendly for shoppers and movers. An awesome selection of eats, gastropubs like Melt Bar and Grilled and Deagan’s Kitchen and Bar, are foiled by an excellent and arty retail community, with native boutiques like Paisley Monkey and Cotton Luxury Appointments.

The Whiskey Bar

Coventry Village has an excellent oddball shopping spree all set up — vinyl (Record Revolution), streetwear clothing (Avalon Exchange), bizarre Asian boutiques (City Buddha) — and you won’t be alone.

Its bars and big stages draw the young and restless from nearby Case Western Reserve University. Enjoy indie rock and rap acts at the Grog Shop. Sip from over 500 types of whiskey from around the globe at The Whiskey Bar, or chew both the figurative and actual fat at local restaurants (like Inn on Coventry and Tommy’s Restaurant).

KIDDING AROUND

NORTHEAST OHIO’S AMUSEMENT PARKS, PLAY ZONES AND MUSEUMS ARE JUST A SHORT MINIVAN RIDE AWAY.

A FRIGHT TO REMEMBER > During HalloWeekends, Cedar Point’s usual thrills mix with spine-tingling chills. On select nights from September 17 through October 31, the screams won’t just be relegated to the park’s 17 rollercoasters, but also haunted attractions and scare mazes. Prefer tamer fun for the whole fam? Visit during the day for the Tricks and Treats Fall Fest.

A DEEP-DIVE INTO FUN > There are plenty of fish in the sea, as evidenced by the Greater Cleveland Aquarium. Eight galleries and 50+ exhibits provide a periscope-like perspective on the life aquatic. Get handsy with friendly stingrays in the 11,000-gallon touch pool, or watch aquarists feed archerfish, sharks or gamefish (depending on the day).

FLYING HIGH > Shoot for the stars with “Above and Beyond,” a brand-new exhibit at the Great Lakes Science Center focused on all things aerospace and air travel. Channel your inner maverick in a virtual high-speed flying competition, or step into a simulated space elevator and show Jeff Bezos how it’s done.

2021-22 FALL/WINTER Official Visitors Guide

FOSSIL-FUELED > With the Cleveland Museum of Natural History joining the century club in 2022, the museum has big plans to blow out its birthday candles. Among other celebrations, the “100 Years of Discovery” exhibition will showcase the greatest hits of its first 100 years—and a sneak peek at the 100 years to come.

BABES IN TOYLAND > Welcome to the (real-life) dollhouse!

Housed in the historic Stager-Beckwith Mansion, the Children’s Museum of Cleveland spans three levels with seven exhibits that run the gamut from water play to dress-up to crafting to two-story climbers. Advance reservations are required (and they go quick!).

DOWN ON THE FARM > Old MacDonald would approve of Lake Metroparks Farmpark—where kids can milk cows, hang with baby foals and watch sheep being shorn. (Plus, wagon rides!) Four-wheeling seasonal fun also abounds with creatively curated drive-thru experiences for both Halloween and the holidays (“Country Lights”).

FALL FUN

Mapleside Farms

[ By Dairian Heard ] MAPLESIDE FARMS > Looking for fall festivities that change by the week?

The Pumpkin Village at Mapleside Farms in Brunswick is calling your name! Navigate a themed corn maze or whiz down a 311-foot “super slide” (the longest in America), then pick up some caramel apples and apple pie to savor later.

PATTERSON FRUIT FARM > Head to Chesterland to pick your own Gala and McIntosh varieties in the orchards, or snag some fresh apple cider and pie at the on-site farm market. Through October 31, the Family Fun Fest adds more fall fun with wagon rides, a corn maze, slides and much more.

PICKERING HILL FARMS > Keep it fresh and local with a visit to Avon’s Pickering Hill Farms—a family-run farm and market that keeps it “a little bit country” amid suburbia. Their array of Amish meats, cheeses, jams and butters will have you bypassing your nearest grocery store and stocking your shelves with the real deal.

AMISH COUNTRY > Amish Country is the fall attraction in Northeast Ohio.

Experience the best of the simple life with a tasting at Broad Run Cheese Corner, a shopping spree at the Antique Mall and a leisurely drive through the scenic Millersburg area. Did we mention the foliage is beautiful?

FALL FOLIAGE > Cleveland is nicknamed “The Forest City” for good reason. Providing an up-close view of nature changing before your eyes, the Cleveland Metroparks earn their “Best Park in the Nation” title with 18 picturesque reservations and 100+ hiking trails. And down at Cuyahoga Valley National Park, fall colors frame breathtaking landmarks like Brandywine Falls.

Society Lounge

[ By Mary Mihaly ] ISLAND VIBES > The Polynesian cocktail tradition is alive and well inside a hidden oasis on the cusp of Ohio City and Tremont. Let the Tiki gods smile upon you at Porco Lounge and Tiki Room, while enjoying groovy libations like Mai Tais, Zombies and Singapore Slings made with fresh-squeezed juices.

LIKE VELVET > Grown-up drinking reigns at the Velvet Tango Room, where mixologists are so professional they measure bitters with an eyedropper.

Taste the difference with sophisticated sips like the slightly sweet Tango Manhattan or gin-based French 75, then try to score a seat in the “secret” back room.

DOWN WITH LBM > At LBM, they like it loud. If heavy metal and Viking vibes are your jam, look no further than this neighborhood joint in Lakewood.

Aggressive types can order a Gunslinger (“Bigger, Stronger, Harder”) made with 100-proof whiskey; more reflective folks may enjoy a black-rum based Last Rites of Julia Brown.

IN THE HEIGHTS > Any selfrespecting Cleveland Heights resident knows The Fairmount. Ask a regular, and they’ll suggest ordering a heaping helping of truffle fries and the house shot, aka the “Verdita” (pepper-infused tequila with a mint, cilantro, jalapeño and pineapple chaser). Or Paint it Black, with bourbon and Aztec chocolate bitters might do.

PRETTY YOUNG THINGS > Harkening back to the glamorous “café society” of the early 1900s, Society Lounge is as cultivated a bar as they come. Raise a finely manicured pinky with a Cucumber Gimlet or a circa-1880s New York Sour made with Argentine wine. Need a digestif? Throw back a Rusty Nail.

Sauce the City

[ By Tricia Chaves ] THE RIB CAGE > A family-owned micro-chain of barbecue eateries elevates the humble hot wing at its Cleveland Heights and Ohio City locations. Nuanced flavors are layered by slow-smoking wings over cherry and hickory woods harvested from Amish Country, before dunking in a decadent dressing.

CHICKEN RUN > In a pandemic pivot, the proprietors of Soho Chicken and Whiskey transformed their full-service concept in Ohio City’s Market District to a fast-casual carryout counter. In spite of ditching the dining room—not to mention a moniker swap and edited menu—the signature fried chicken recipe remains deliciously unchanged.

SAUCE THE CITY > Cleveland’s homage to Tennessee-style hot chicken happens inside the former Ohio City Galley food hall, where menu items are crafted using local, farm-raised chicken and fresh ingredients sourced within a 12-mile radius. The award-winning sandwich is served in 10 different recipes rated by their spiciness.

HELL’S FRIED CHICKEN > Restaurateur Sheng Long Yu of Shinto fame conceptualized this pair of fastcasual restaurants located in Parma and University Circle (near Case Western Reserve University). Count on Korean and American crispy fried chicken accompanied by seven scratch-made sauces. And did we mention the garlic bread and curly fries?

DINA’S PIZZA & PUB > For over 20 years, “The Filling Station” has operated from a restored Old Brooklyn automotive shop—just a hop, skip and a jump away from the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. Snag a spicy souvenir: House-made mild and hot wing sauces are available by the jar.

PEACE OUT > People all over The Land are hopping on the love train for Peace, Love and Little Donuts. With a tagline of “Feed your inner hippie,” this Pittsburgh export has set up shop in West Park with an array of funkadelic fare, like the “Shaka Pecan” and the “Snick Jagger.”

JoJo's Steaks HH, D | | $30+ | 87 West St., Chagrin Falls, OH 44022

BEER INFUSED > When you want a beer but need a donut, whet both whims at Brewnuts. Made with craft brews that tone down the sweetness, these small-batch donuts bring the flavor. The Gordon Square shop also sells beer, so you can, um, have your cake and drink it, too.

Southeast

COLOSSAL SIZED > If you’re a donut fan (*raises hand*), Bigmouth Donut Co.’s artisanal menu will have you swooning. Count ‘em: 14 types of raised brioche donuts (like Georgia Peach, Maple Bacon and Hazelnut Nutella) plus treats for the gluten-free and vegan folks in the bunch.

OLD SCHOOL > Most Clevelanders are on a first-name basis with Jack Frost—after all, this Old Brooklyn donut haven has been making us drool since 1937. Making “every batch from scratch,” Jack Frost donuts don’t disappoint with flavors like cherry cheesecake, banana split and the ominous-yet-irresistible “death by chocolate.”

VEGAN MADE > Vegans, this one’s for you! In fact, the Lakewood-based The Vegan Doughnut Co. is Ohio’s only 100 percent vegan donut shop—owned by a pair of enterprising sisters. Every donut is decorated by hand, and inventive flavors abound, such as lemon lavender and raspberry hibiscus.

Where The Locals Go Clevelanders can’t keep secrets! It’s the reason our supposedly “underground” indie theaters, blue-collar brewpubs, and cool art galleries are increasingly cult hangouts.

Just follow the crowd and go where the locals go, discovering Clevelanders’ still cool un-secret side.

WEST PARK Grab a bite to eat, stay for live music at the pub for an authentic Cleveland experience. Bring family to enjoy the farmers market, outdoor movies, or the annual Hooley.

STRANGEVILLE PUMPKIN SPICED ALE (THE BREW KETTLE) > It’s not unusual to be bewitched by this autumn brew. Its familiar cauldron of spices is more reminiscent of pie than potion.

And the name? That’s just a play on the Brew Kettle’s hometown, Strongsville.

SPOOKY TOOTH IMPERIAL PUMPKIN ALE (FAT HEAD’S BREWERY) > A few glasses of this bold beer might have you seeing the Great Pumpkin. At 9% ABV, it is, indeed, as heavy as a prize gourd, but its toothsome malt body keeps it surprisingly balanced.

HAUNTED HAYRIDE (MASTHEAD BREWING) > A fine companion to a crackling fire, toasted marshmallows and ghost stories, Masthead’s cinnamonand nutmeg-laced pumpkin brew perfectly captures the spirit of fall. (And it’s likely to disappear, like a phantom, from your glass.)

YAMMY YAMMY (PLATFORM BEER COMPANY) > Platform reached for a different kind of pie as inspiration for its autumn seasonal. Each batch of Yammy Yammy includes hundreds of pounds of roasted sweet potatoes, giving this spicy concoction its natural, caramel-y sweetness. .

SURF’S UP!

Marble Room

[ By Mary Mihaly and Kevin Carpenter ] PIER W > Few locations rival Pier W’s cliffside perch in Lakewood. You’ll feel like you’re on an elegant cruise ship, hovering at water’s edge, as you choose from all the surf—salmon to halibut to PEI mussels—and the most succulent turf. Go ahead…splurge on a Delmonico.

NAUTI MERMAID > Designed to feel like a Key West crab shack, this cozy spot in the Warehouse District offers mad tropical vibes and the Caribbeaninspired menu to match. Nosh on crab cakes with mango-avocado salad, feast on lobster nachos, or order a Cobb salad.

DON’S LIGHTHOUSE GRILLE > If any restaurant is a Cleveland classic, it’s Don’s—and they’ve got the diehard regulars to prove it. When Don’s switched briefly to a bistro menu, customers weren’t having it and Don’s retreated back to their delicious steaks and seafood. (See why with the popular Portuguese seafood stew.)

MARBLE ROOM STEAK AND RAW BAR > This Cleveland Magazine Silver Spoon awardee boasts one of the most legit dining experiences in town.

Savor your Delmonico steak or Kobe strip loin inside what was once the National City Bank building, transformed into an opulent steakhouse replete with marble pillars and soaring ceilings.

RED, THE STEAKHOUSE > Go big or go home at RED Downtown in the always-hopping Gateway District. This stylish, upscale steakhouse continues to rack up awards for its impeccable selection of Certified Angus Beef (CAB) and CAB Prime cuts, as well as the prix fixe RED Supper Club.

RAISE A GLASS HERE’S TO CLE’S FINEST DISTILLERS AND MIXOLOGISTS.

Bourbon Street Barrel

[ By Robin Caldwell ] PENNY LANE > Using its proprietary rapid-aging process, Cleveland Whiskey distills unique blends of traditional bourbon whiskey and rye. The latest on the list: Wheat Penny 1958 Bourbon, so-named after the last year the wheat penny was minted as well as to commemorate their first wheated bourbon.

GO WEST > Rye is the hot girl at the spirits dance, and Lakewood’s Western Reserve Distillery has an amazing selection of handcrafted ryes. For those who prefer aged rye whiskey, try their 6 Year Straight Rye Whiskey in a cocktail at their Lakewood distillery, or snag a bottle for at-home sipping.

FOOL’S GOLD > What was once a hobby for Tom and Lianne Herbruck has morphed into a destination distillery.

Located in Burton, Tom’s Foolery Distillery specializes in pot-distilled spirits including bourbon, rye, applejack and gin. The couple likes to do things the old-fashioned way—leaning into “low-tech,” high satisfaction.

MAD ABOUT MABEL > The bar program at Mabel’s BBQ on East 4th Street includes the elder names in bourbon like Old Forrester and Old Crow, as well as contemporary kin Knob Creek. Even more impressive is the chance to take home a Bottle-Aged Manhattan made with another elder, Old Grand-Dad, and Angostino bitters.

STREET SMART > Want to laissez les bon temp rouler all year long?

Bourbon Street Barrel Room in Tremont is the consummate ode to Louisiana in both food and spirits. Bulleit Bourbon rules in the form of Sazerac, Vieux Carre and classic Old-Fashioned cocktails. Just BYOB (Bring Your Own Beads).

Gervasi Vineyard

[ By Rebecca Ferlotti ] FERRANTE WINERY > Every Ohioan knows that if you’re going to Geneva, you’re coming home with wine. Pick up a bottle of Ferrante Winery’s award-winning Cabernet Franc, or cozy up on the couch with Mom’s Apple Pie Riesling just in time for autumn. (Trust us…it trumps a PSL any day.)

FIRELANDS WINERY > If you’re only going to Sandusky for Cedar Point, it’s time to expand the plan to include Firelands Winery. As Ohio’s largest producing winery, there’s clearly no shortage of primo pours. Plus, the original wine cellar from 1880 is still in the mix today.

CHATEAU HOUGH > Smack in the middle between Downtown and University Circle, this urban vineyard is reimagining wine—and kicking it up a notch with locally-grown grapes. Try a glass of Moxie (a semi-sweet white) or the aptly-named Swoon (a chocolatestrawberry dessert wine designed to make you do just that).

MICHAEL ANGELO’S WINERY > Michael Angelo’s Winery was made to wine down. This casual spot offers indoor/outdoor seating to post up with a charcuterie board and your selection from a rotating wine list (spanning from Bianco to Gewürztraminer to Zinfandel).

Got a sweet tooth? Their cakes will leave you in tiers.

GERVASI VINEYARD > A little bit of a drive but a lot worth it, Canton-based Gervasi Vineyard isn’t just a winery… it’s an experience. Go for the ice wine or malbec and stay for the four restaurants, live music, cooking classes, tasting tours and gorgeous view.

Check Before You Go.

[ By Matt Mitchell ] STAR POWER > With six locations built in less than a decade—including spots in an old firehouse, a vintage diner, and an arcade—Rising Star Coffee has become a cross-town hangout for folks in the mood for electric espressos, rich lattes, one-of-a-kind coffeedrinking experiences and a homegrown atmosphere.

CAFFEINATED IN COLLINWOOD > After humble beginnings with just a single one-pound roaster, Six Shooter Coffee has grown into an integral part of the Waterloo Arts District—whether you’re enjoying a shop original (like the BIV 12oz on a Sunday) or something neighborhood-inspired (like a Collinwood Espresso after a Beachland Ballroom show).

GET YOUR PHIX > Since the shop opened its doors in 2013, Cafe Phix MidTown has become an east side staple known for occasional celebrity drop-ins (oh, hey Ted Danson!), seasonal signature drinks and the fan-favorite Breve Bomb—a 3-layer beverage made of rich syrup, half-and-half, and a topping of espresso.

STONE COLD BREW > Taking over where Pour Cleveland left off in the 530 Euclid building is Stone Fruit Coffee Company, known for organic fair-trade coffee roasted in-house. Order a “Salted Nutella” or “Sprinkled Donut” cuppa Joe, then snap a selfie with the Cleveland wall mural.

SOCIAL SCENE > Since Lalo Rodriguez opened CafeSocial Latinoamericao in 2018 with his dad, the Tremont shop has made its name as an intimate space where coffee lovers can not only drink Social Macchiatos, but have conversations in Spanish and learn about the history of Cleveland’s Hispanic community.
