Cleveland, OH: Why Go
With its Great Lakes location and Cuyahoga River Flats, Cleveland rocks everything from velvet-rope nightclubs to down-to-earth farmer's markets.
Place we love, even if it's touristy: With everything from AC/DC to ZZ Top, it's a smash to step into the dazzling I.M. Pei-designed Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Gaze upon Jimi Hendrix's handwritten lyrics to "Purple Haze," pay homage to guitar-hero Les Paul, and see how your favorite singer did on his or her elementary school report card.
Where the locals go: Summer's the time to head to Jacobs Field to catch a foul ball or two during a Cleveland Indians baseball game. Located right in the heart of downtown, the stadium creates a sense of intimacy with only 43,345 seats. After the game, you'll spill out into the West Sixth Area, where bars and restaurants await.
After-dark hotspots: Whether you're seeking wings-and-beer sports bars, post-collegiate dance parties, or velvet-rope hipster hangouts, you'll find it along the Cuyahoga River. Seek out live-music enlightenment at Funky Buddha, wag your tail on the Velvet Dog dance floor, drink James Bond-style martinis (shaken not stirred) at Spy Bar, or indulge in gothic at Wish.
History lesson: Standing tall on Euclid Avenue is the Terminal Tower and Cleveland Union Terminal, which used to be one of the largest train hubs in country. During its heyday, it stood out cleanly against the horizon as the city's only skyscraper. Today, you can hang low at the mall and movie theatre.
Best excuse for packing a coat and tie: When the esteemed Cleveland Orchestra is in town, it's time to get your swank on with dinner and a show. Even when the orchestra is away, you've still got plenty of sophisticated options, as many of New York's Broadway shows come through for significantly cheaper prices than you'd find in the Big Apple.
Chill-out spot: After taking in the treasures of the Cleveland Museum of Art, step outside the neoclassical building to the Wade Lagoon to take a gander at the ducks, soak up sunshine, and people-watch. From here, you have easy access to all the offerings of University Circle, and if you time your visit correctly, you might be able to catch a concert on the Wade Oval.
Get out of dodge: Who can pass up a visit to the self-proclaimed "rollercoaster capital of the world"? Get your thrills and amusement-park chills at Cedar Point, about an hour and a half away from downtown Cleveland. You'll find no less than 16 "scream machines," including the Top Thrill Dragster, which reaches speeds of 120 miles per hour.
Recommendations & Suggestions
A night at the Flats
Rip it up and get rippped on both banks of the Cuyohoga. Thew west bank surges with sound from the nautica stage, award wining microbrew and comedy.

900 Literary Road
Phone: 216.771.5652
The cuisine at Lola Bistro & Wine Bar is a showcase in upscale American comfort food.

Begin with potato and lobster pierogi with carmelized onion and sour cream, or savor the sweet potato and goat cheese tart with arugula and yogurt dressing. Signature main dishes include "slash and burn" blackened grouper with crab-infused tater tots and red pepper relish, or pan-seared walleye over Canadian bacon risotto with citrus-vegetable sauce. If you're craving a taste of home, try the veal meatloaf, macaroni and cheese served with roasted chicken, goat cheese and rosemary or ethereal butternut squash ravioli with sage brown butter.
