History

leveland has a proud history that C is 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.

The Sauce Boiling Seafood Express (Downtown | University Heights) Love seafood fresh and fast? This place has it in the bag! Kyler Smith’s rapidly growing concept keeps it Cleveland with a “Bunchi Dawg Pound” bag loaded with crab, shrimp, lobster tail and more.

Zanzibar Soul Fusion (Downtown | Shaker Square | Euclid) Black American comfort food like chicken-and-waffles shares the menu with unique twists on the classics, such as artichoke dip with collard greens and the “Soul Roll” (stuffed egg rolls with spicy remoulade).

Gusto’s Seafood & Chicken (Glenville) Many Clevelanders know Pooh Gutta as a rapper, but now he’s a multi-hyphenate serving up both beats and bites. A wide array of seafood plates, pastas and Po’Boy selections allow diners to take their pick of Gusto’s greatest hits.

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! For more info, thisiscleveland.com/blackowned

The #Support Black Owned Businesses hashtag has nearly one million posts on Instagram, and Cleveland’s Black business community offers plenty of ways to do just that. Caffeinate with a cold one from Cleveland Cold Brew (inside GlenVillage) or raise a glass to urban vineyard Chateau Hough via a virtual wine tasting. On the beauty front, deck out your dome with a Perfect Pineapple head wrap or smooth it out with DorNee’ moisturizing products. Need more inspo?

HERITAGE COMES ALIVE EXPLORE BLACK HISTORY AT THESE SIGNIFICANT SITES.

[ By Aja Hannah ]

African American Cultural Garden Located within the Cleveland Cultural Gardens, architect Daniel Bickerstaff designed this space to convey the past, present and future of the African American community, as well as promote the education and interest of its culture and heritage.

Karamu House Who needs Broadway with world-class theatre in our own backyard? Cleveland is an epicenter of arts and culture, boasting the nation’s oldest African American theatre. Founded in 1915, this cultural staple is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. Hit up professional theatre productions and arts education while honoring the African American experience. Station Hope at St. John’s Episcopal Church Get shook at the belltower at St. John’s Episcopal Church, where enslaved people hid before they crossed Lake Erie on their final leg of the Underground Railroad. Today the church is a gathering place for an annual summer celebration named “Station Hope” after Cleveland’s nickname on the Underground Railroad.

In person, be sure to visit the Carl & Louis Stokes Making History exhibit, spotlighting two Black Clevelanders who made national history in the political arena.

By Aja Hannah As the nation’s oldest African American theatre, Karamu House is not only a powerhouse for Black culture— but a gathering place for the community. Join Karamu on June 19, 2021, to honor the day enslaved people were freed with a super-sized Juneteenth Celebration and again in December for its annual seven-day Kwanzaa celebration and critically-hailed production of “Black Nativity.”

In September, the lens turns to the 10th Annual Greater Cleveland Urban Film Festival, showcasing the voices and visions of minority filmmakers. When winter rolls around, Cleveland celebrates Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and Black History Month in a big way— with local institutions all over the city offering a wide array of programming and special events.

League Park & Baseball Heritage Museum Long before Progressive Field, League Park was Cleveland’s resident field of dreams. 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.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Expansion

BIGGER AND BETTER NORTHEAST OHIO’S MUSEUMS AND ATTRACTIONS JUST KEEP THE HITS COMING.

By Leslie Basalla-McCafferty

The Beat Goes On The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame turned 25 in 2020, but it isn’t gathering any moss. A planned $100 million expansion will add a guitar pick-shaped addition packing 50,000 square feet of new exhibition and event space. Plus, a new band shell overlooking Lake Erie will crank up the volume for concerts and performances. (As if you needed yet another excuse to revel in this iconic CLE landmark.)

Staying Curious Like its lakefront neighbor, Great Lakes Science Center is also celebrating 25 years. While the center hasn’t yet revealed its plans for marking the milestone, festivities will undoubtedly include marvels of technology and nature. In the meantime, you can get hands-on with STEM exhibits, gawk at the giant screen in the IMAX dome and space out in the NASA Glenn Visitors Center. Far out!

Mighty Metamorphosis Hey, Cleveland Museum of Natural History, 100 looks good on you! Since celebrating its centennial in 2020, the museum has unveiled the first updates in a $150 million expansion— namely a behind-the-scenes Current Science area and a newly revamped auditorium and courtyard. Renovations will culminate with a new exhibit wing under a sweeping, white façade meant to evoke the Ice Age glaciers that shaped the region.

The Coast with the Most The world might feel like it’s gone off the rails, but thankfully Cedar Point is still on track. Having marked its 150th anniversary in 2020, the epic amusement park has extended the party into 2021 with a special Golden Pass for $129 (including unlimited visits and free parking). Enjoy new attractions such as a family-friendly river expedition and a spectacular nighttime celebration to light up the Main Midway.

Betts is a cozy haven serving classic American dishes in the Kimpton Schofield Hotel. Located on lively East 4th Street, Goma is chef Dante Boccuzzi’s latest culinary incarnation— serving up impeccably prepared sushi. Slink over to Filter in the Warehouse District for glam cocktails and Insta-worthy décor.

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 with over 1,900 apartments added in the last few years, 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 with soon-to-come residences in historic bank buildings (The Centennial) and the 23-story City Club Apartments (new construction replete with rooftop pool). Outside of Downtown, new investment continues to pour into Cleveland’s neighborhoods, such as Ohio City— where mixed-use development INTRO will claim the title 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 location 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.

Win or lose, nothing keeps Clevelanders from their beloved Cleveland Browns games—neither wind, nor sleet, nor 20-below-zero Sundays. Now going 75 seasons strong, the Dawg Pound boasts a hard-won history of NFL Hall of Fame players, game-changing trailblazers and the most passionate fans in the land. Cleveland first emerged as a pro football powerhouse with the creation of the American Professional Football Association on August 20, 1920, consisting of four “Ohio League” teams—Akron Pros, Canton Bulldogs, Cleveland Tigers and Dayton Triangles. In 1922, the APFA changed its name to the National Football League. The Canton team eventually became the Cleveland Bulldogs, winning the NFL title in 1924 before folding in 1928. Starting in 1931, an NFL-sponsored club played as the Cleveland Indians for one season in the newly constructed 83,000-seat behemoth Cleveland Municipal Stadium. Failing to find an owner, the team was replaced in the NFL by the Boston Braves (now the Washington Football Team). Cleveland’s glorious gridiron exploits returned in 1937 with the Cleveland Rams franchise that won the 1945 NFL championship before moving to Los Angeles in 1946. That same year, the Browns were born and set off on their legendary championship run, winning the first four in the AAFC under team namesake, Coach Paul Brown (widely considered “the father of modern-day football”).

One of the most successful teams in NFL history (really! despite that whole “Factory of Sadness” thing), the Browns have made 29 playoff appearances—winning 12 division titles, 11 conference championships and eight league championships. Today, 17 members of the Browns are enshrined in Canton’s Pro Football Hall of Fame, the sixth-highest total league-wide.

REVISIT MILESTONE MOMENTS IN BROWN'S HISTORY. By Vince Guerreri

1946-1955: Mining homegrown talent, Ohio native Paul Brown assembles a dream team led by Otto Graham that dominates the All-American Football Conference, winning the title every year of the league’s existence and going undefeated in 1948. Swapping leagues in 1950, the Browns made themselves right at home in the NFL, playing in six straight NFL Championships, winning three.

Photos clockwise: © Pro Football Hall of Fame, © Tyler Church, © Pro Football Hall of Fame © Cleveland Browns, © Pro Football Hall of Fame

1964: Quarterback Frank Ryan throws three touchdowns to Gary Collins— all in the second half—to beat the heavily favored Colts, 27-0 in the NFL Championship Game. 1986-1989: The Browns make four straight playoff appearances, but are thwarted in three AFC Championship Games, each time by John Elway and the Broncos. Enter “The Drive” and “The Fumble,” plays that will forever live on in infamy. 1995: Heartbreak reigns as Cleveland Municipal Stadium—the only home the Browns have ever known—hosts its last NFL game. After 50 years in Cleveland, the Browns move to Baltimore to become the Ravens.

1999-2020: In an unprecedented agreement, the name, colors and history remain in Cleveland, given to an expansion team that starts in 1999. Fast forward to 2020—the team earns its first playoff win in 26 years. Good times are ahead!

HALL OF GLORY CANTON SCORES A TOUCHDOWN WITH THE PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME. By Annie Zaleski

Ohio is known as the birthplace of aviation, rock 'n' roll and professional football. The pigskin part of that equation started in Canton when the American Professional Football Association formed in 1920, later to become known as (wait for it) the National Football League. The city also fielded the sport's first dynasty: the Canton Bulldogs, which won league titles in 1922 and 1923. Naturally, this makes Canton the perfect location for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, which opened in 1963 and offers multimedia-heavy exhibits spanning more than 100 years of football history. Museum spotlights include the Super Bowl, a massive sports card collection and the Black College Football

local tip

Hall of Fame. In addition, the holographic "A Game for Life" theatre presentation features the game's biggest icons doling out inspirational advice. (Oh, hey, Joe Namath!) But the Hall of Fame Gallery— which displays bronze busts of every inductee—is the museum's most awe-inspiring place. By the end of 2021, this space will include the members of the Hall's newest class (such as star quarterback Peyton Manning). Fans can toast to these icons at August's Enshrinement Festival, a weeklong-plus events series encompassing concerts, outdoor events and vaunted Gold Jacket Ceremony. It’s also a great chance to revel in the area's ongoing expansion, notably a renovated Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium. Score!

Located in Downtown Canton, the new Centennial Plaza boasts a café, lawn space for events and permanent recognition of pro football's first 100 years.

THE HOUSE THAT ROCK BUILT

Class of 2021 We’re pretty amped about the return of the Rock Hall Induction Ceremony to Cleveland this fall (October 30, 2021), as are first-time nominees like the Foo Fighters, Fela Kuti and The Go-Gos. Though the announcement hasn’t yet been made as to which inductees rocked the vote this year, the results will surely be worth the wait. After all, the ceremony moves to Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse this year—going bigger, better and best of both worlds with a virtual red carpet and other online components.

It’s Been Said All Along: Voices of Rage, Hope and Empowerment In 2020, the collective volume rose around addressing issues of race, equity and change, but the music world has already been lobbying out loud for decades. This social justice exhibit highlights how artists like Little Richard and Aretha Franklin blazed new trails in the fight for equality, and how groups like Public Enemy and Rage Against the Machine were inspired to do the same in their wake. See important artifacts from these change-making moments in time, as well as photos shot by influential African American photographers.

Freeze Frame Rock is immortal, especially when captured through the lens of talented photographers. Two current exhibitions prove just that, showcasing the work of pioneer Rolling Stone photographer Baron Wolman and celebrity photographer Kevin Mazur. See the 60s through Wolman’s eyes in “Iconic: Baron Wolman Images of An Era” (Janis! Jimi! Joni!), then get an “Induction All Access” pass with a digital collection highlighting Mazur’s images and backstage stories from past induction ceremonies. (He’s got plenty, as he has captured all but two since the first ceremony in 1986.)

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.

Start your art appreciation right there in Ohio City, where Ohio’s largest mural stretches 620 long feet beneath the Shoreway, courtesy of Brazilian artist Ananda Nahu. Other highlights near the Shoreway include the “Love Doves” mural and a giant ode to Prince—both labors of love by local artists. For some global flavor, don’t miss the “Flying Tiger” mural created by Italian-born German artist Michela Picchi. Nearby in Detroit Shoreway, two-for-one visual fun awaits at 6805 Detroit Ave.—where Justin Michael Will’s “Cartoon Mural” adds a whimsical touch and Lisa Quine’s mural dares Clevelanders to “Dream Big.” Heading westward to La Villa Hispana, John Rivera-Resto’s “It’s Up to Us” mural not only depicts the diversity and resilience of the community but has an inspiring backstory—having been lovingly restored after being defaced in 2017.

Much like the west side, Cleveland’s near east side has plenty of Insta-worthy offerings. Karamu House pays homage to famous alumna “Ruby Dee” with a 40-foot rendition of the actress created by Kent Twitchell, while “Maya Angelou” provides food for thought on the side of Nikki’s Barbershop on Buckeye Road. You’ll also want to seek out the thought-provoking “Our Lives Matter” mural in Glenville by Gary Williams and Robin Robinson (both proteges of Twitchell). And don’t even think about skipping the Collinwood neighborhood, where the Zoetic Walls project created more than 20 murals. (See them all via a self-guided walking tour available on the Waterloo Arts website.) The Pop Life yoga studio is a must-see, featuring an exterior completely covered by global art phenom Camille Walala.

5 PLACES TO EAT RIGHT NOW By Lisa Sands

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 whisky 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.

More Salt, Please Sophisticated small plates are the hallmark of Salt+, an intimate neighborhood spot in Lakewood. Chef Jill Vedaa’s thoughtfully composed small plates are wildly grand in flavor and texture, while Jessica Parkison’s cocktail menu is playful and ever-evolving. Seasonality and local flavors are respected, and these hands-on owners support small farms and producers. Now that’s cool+!

Got to Get Down to Hingetown Chef/owner Athan Zarnas melds the bright, versatile flavors of the Mediterranean region over a blazing fire at Alea, his intimate 33-seat restaurant in Hingetown. It’s a suave, sexy little spot with a killer wine list, making it perfect for spirited group gatherings or cozy nights for two. Try a five- or eight-course tasting menu for three hours of sure bliss.

100 Proof Smoky aromas waft from Proof, a subterranean enclave with meat-centric dishes, local brews and craft cocktails. Start with some chicharrones, and keep the party going with honey cornbread or mac-and-cheese. And you bet your sweet you-know-what they’ve got burnt ends—slather ‘em with one of six housemade sauces. Pro-tip: Just don’t wear your white T-shirt.

Stay in your sweats and order globallyinspired cuisine or the “it” food of the moment from a local ghost kitchen (or delivery-only restaurant, for those who don’t speak fluent foodie). Go globetrotting with chef Doug Katz at Chimi or Amba and try vibrant dishes like grilled Peruvian chicken and tostones, or eggplant bharta and spicy lamb keema. Can’t choose? Order both and pick up from the same Cleveland Heights location. Or maybe the hot-n-spicy chicken sandwich from Dirty Bird is the pearlclutching, lip-tingling thrill you didn’t know you needed. Chef Jordan Kirk’s Nashville-style chicken joint operates out of Michael’s Genuine in the Van Aken District. Being ghosted never tasted so good.

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.

Hit up trivia night with Genny cream ales and tacos, or listen to live music on the spacious patio. FELICE URBAN CAFÉ Set inside a quaint house with a spacious patio, Felice is one of CLE’s most charming spots to share stories over charcuterie and small plates. Speaking of stories, throw back COVID buzzword cocktails that tell their own: During “these uncertain times,” there might be a “distance between us,” but we’re “getting through this ‘together.’”

BATUQUI BRAZILIAN RESTAURANT We don’t have to speak Portuguese for Brazilian food to speak to us. From the Pao De Queijo (cheese bread) to the Picanha Acebolada (a bomb-ass steak), there are no wrong decisions on this menu.

UNBAR CAFÉ Good clean fun is what’s in store at UnBar. Designed as a healthy social hub, this non-alcoholic café and lounge serves up mocktails with moxie—along with coffee, baked goods, vegetarian-friendly fare, smoothies and more.

Zanzibar Kiss their grits (and biscuits, too)! Downtown’s favorite southern fusion packs a flavorful punch with dishes like Fried Yardbird & Red Velvet Waffles and Quiche Louisiana.

Grumpy’s Café The name couldn’t be less fitting at this Tremont feel-good space. The menu packs a Cajun flair, with healthy eats like the Buddha Bowl balancing out decadent dishes like the jambalaya omelet.

Astoria Café & Market Destination dining paired with an upscale market in Detroit Shoreway let you have your brunch and everything you need for a fun night at home, too.

Euro Waffle Bar Batter up! Belgian waffles, bubble waffles and crepes combine in this cute spot on the Case Western Reserve University campus to create a surprisingly versatile menu.

Big Al’s Diner Go Big or stay home! This old-school greasy spoon in Larchmere serves up big portions of homestyle breakfast favorites all day, most notably their famous Corned Beef Hash.

Edgewater Park

THAT LAKE ERIE LIFE

Living On The Edge Home of summer fun on the near west side, Edgewater Beach boasts a 2,400-foot beach with 1,000 feet of swimming access and a pup-friendly section (plus cabana rentals and a fishing pier). Overheated? Grab some local Honey Hut ice cream at the Edgewater Beach House—an open-air hangout that oozes relaxation.

East Side Story Consider Euclid Beach the more laid-back yin to Edgewater’s bustling yang. Once a legendary amusement park, this lakefront expanse now houses a gorgeous new pier, sandy beach and selfie-friendly Cleveland script sign—not to mention killer skyline and sunset views.

Let’s Go Outside Play sand volleyball or chill on the beach at Wendy Park at Whiskey Island, where a distillery once sat in the 1800s. Bird lovers also flock here for their fix, with 260 species of birds recorded on site. There’s also a kayak launch and fishing pier at this nature haven.

And We All Shine On Take in nature’s splendor at the Lakewood Solstice Steps. Carved into the natural landscape of Lakewood Park, the nearly 500-foot-long Solstice Steps offer expansive Lake Erie views and Zen for days. Pack a picnic and drink in the sunset from this manmade wonder.

Walk This Way Happy trails await alongside Lake Erie, thanks to the new Euclid Lakefront Trail. Start at Sims Park, then head east down the three-quarter-mile trail for Zen-worthy views and fresh-air exercise. Afterward, perch on the fishing pier to take in a hot pink sunset.

On An Island In The Sun Adventures abound on Lake Erie’s islands. Explore Perry’s Cave, zoom the waves on a jet ski, peruse the Chocolate Museum or snag a stool at the world’s longest bar at Put-in-Bay on South Bass. For more laidback vibes, ferry over to Kelley’s Island for scenic beaches and outdoor recreation.

Why drive to Cleveland when you can cruise? The 53-slip North Coast Harbor Transient Marina lets boaters dock behind the Rock Hall while they grab dinner or go sightseeing.

How’s this for alliteration? BrewBoat CLE calls itself “Ohio’s first and only pedal-powered paddle-wheel party-boat.” But it’s no hyperbole— the company books Cuyahoga River cruises for up to 14 people to sip drinks and enjoy a pumped-up playlist while pedaling a cycleboat.

HAPPY TRAILS Towpath Trail The history-rich Towpath Trail follows the route of the legendary Ohio & Erie Canal as it winds through scenic Cuyahoga Valley National Park toward Downtown Cleveland. Expect level surfaces along the roughly 90-mile path (eventually to reach 101 miles), available for exploration 24 hours a day. East Rim Trail Cuyahoga Valley National Park sets itself apart not only as Ohio’s only national park, but also as one of the few in the country with a mountain bike trail. Enter the East Rim Trail, which opened in 2016 and offers 8.5 miles of trails—with more in the works. Morgana Run Trail All aboard! Just a few miles in length, this trail runs along a former Lake Erie Railway corridor through historic Slavic Village. The paved

MIGHTY RIVER VALLEY [ By Jen Jones Donatelli ]

The Cleveland Metroparks offers many ways to experience the river your way. At Scranton Road Peninsula, hike along the new Towpath Trail section or go fishing for yellow perch or smallmouth bass. Hungry? Riverfront Merwin’s Wharf is known for its excellent eats and the scenic city

views to match. The restaurant is located near Rivergate Park, which offers a kayak launch to get your paddling party started. Further south, the river forms the heart of Cuyahoga Valley National Park (Ohio’s only national park!). Spot bald eagles and blue herons with the easy one-mile Station Road hike, during which you’ll cross a scenic bridge over the river. Or bring your own canoe or kayak for rolling along the river. With 33,000 acres to explore, there’s sure to be no shortage of inspiration— and Instagram moments.

It’s been more than 50 years since the Cuyahoga River caught fire, and as the proverbial saying goes, we’ve come a long way, baby. The river is now a vibrant recreation hub for kayakers, powerboaters, rowing crews and paddleboarders—all of whom expertly weave within this active shipping channel to “share the river” with passing freighters.

Snowshoeing and Cross-Country Skiing Rent snowshoes at CVNP Winter Sports Center and hoof unplowed trails, or get Nordic with cross-country skis on plowed trails at Big Met Golf Course.

LET IT GROW

THESE TRANOUIL GARDENS BRING A BREATH OF FRESH AIR TO THE LAND. By Jen Jones Donatelli EXPAND YOUR WORLDVIEW Take a walk to remember at Cleveland Cultural Gardens, where diversity is in full bloom. Situated along a 1.5-mile stretch of University Circle, this gorgeous collection of 33 ethnic gardens features ornate sculptures and landscaping reflecting cultures from African American to Slovenian.

FIND LIFE IN THE AFTERLIFE Few cemeteries feel more alive than Lake View Cemetery. Spread over 285 acres, the grounds are dotted with centuries-old Moses Cleaveland trees, Japanese Maples and more — in a stunning feat of horticulture suitable for the notable souls at rest (such as John D. Rockefeller and Garrett Morgan). NOT SO SECRET GARDEN At Cleveland Botanical Garden, 11 themed indoor and outdoor gardens will beckon you to stay awhile. But you’ll be tempted to go global once inside the 18,000 square-foot Eleanor Armstrong Smith Glasshouse–showcasing an exotic Madagascar desert and Costa Rican rain forest, alive with butterflies.

Winter Hiking Sunsets and waterfall icicles shimmer on the Ledges Overlook hike in Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Closer to Lake Erie, catch your breath seeing the Cleveland skyline from the Upper Edgewater Park Loop.

FISH ON By Kristen Gough

STATELY REVIVAL Located 40 minutes south of Cleveland in Akron is Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens. A self-guided tour of this scenic estate reveals not only a 65-room Tudor Revival manor house, but also 3,000 meticulously landscaped acres. (Don’t miss the Corbin Conservatory, aka a “garden under glass!”)

Reel talk: Northeast Ohio is one plentiful place for prime catch. Find out for yourself on an excursion with Eyes Ready Charters or Midtown Fishing Charters, on which anglers can snare Lake Erie walleye, jumbo perch and steelhead. If you need a trusty guide, enlist Strikemaster Charters, run by a former Cabela’s National Walleye Tour Tournament Champion. Looking to fish from shore? Try the East 55th Street Marina, which boasts a 1,200-foot fishing pier, 16 guest docks, bait shop and e55 on the Lake restaurant. Gordon Park also provides on-shore fishing options, as well as a six-lane boat launch.

A FIELD TRIP FOR YOUR SENSES Ramp up the action along the 500-foot Murch Canopy Walk perched 65 feet above the forest floor, or climb the 120-foot Kalberer Family Emergent Tower for a bird’s-eye view of 3,500 acres of greenspace that is the Holden Arboretum.

Sledding Gleeful sled screams provide the soundtrack at Kendall Hills in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, with plenty of room for both sleds and toboggans.

Ice Fishing Below that (required) four-inch crust of solid ice swim hungry bluegills, steelhead and rainbow trout at Cleveland Metroparks— home to Wallace, Shadow, Ranger and Judge’s lakes.

Lake Erie Surfing Wind and 40-degree water make some gnarly waves for surfing. Lake Erie Surf Club and Cle Surf Company Ohana show you how it’s done.

Cleveland skyline from Warehouse District

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 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.

DOWNTOWN

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. Public Square

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.

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. © NATHAN MIGAL

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. 216.589.1111 | east4thstreet.com |

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. 216.665.6613 | flatseast.com |

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.

square 216.421.2100 | SHAD.ORG

As the oldest shopping district in Ohio, historic Shaker Square entertains day and night, being Cleveland’s ultimate eastside shop-and-dine destination. 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 by Fowler or Dave’s Supermarket) and where to have fun (Atlas Cinemas Shaker Square). Just leave time for Larchmere Boulevard, Cleveland’s art and antiques shopping district (with fine folks like Loganberry Books).

MidTown is also home to the city’s oldest building still standing: Dunham Tavern. Thanks to its plum location on the RTA Healthline, MidTown also has plenty of shiny new buildings dotting its streetscape— with more on the way, such as the forthcoming Cleveland Foundation headquarters.

KIDDING AROUND

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

AMPED -UP FUN FOR ALL > Call it Cedar Point, or just call it kid heaven. The Sandusky-based amusement park not only has 18 thrill-inducing coasters, but also plenty of family-friendly fare. Along with a dizzying array—pun intended—of kids’ rides, families can go panning for real gemstones at Fort Sandusky Mining Co., splash their way through Cedar Point Shores Water Park or become guest conductors on the C.P. & L.E. Railroad.

BECAUSE, SCIENCE. > Calling all mini-makers: the Cleveland Creates Zone at the Great Lakes Science Center was made just for you. Create a light sculpture, make a duct tape hat and more at this fun STEM-themed mecca. In addition to the center's usual mix of immersive exhibits—such as the tot-friendly Polymer Funhouse—the Cleveland Clinic DOME Theater boasts a sixstory screen and the world’s first giant dome projection system.

IN THE SWING OF THINGS > Kids (and kids at heart) have plenty of options at local entertainment oasis Swings-N-Things. Go-Kart tracks satisfy thrill-seeking teens and tweens, while children under 10 can camp out at Kids Korner, a gigantic indoor playground. The batting cages, mini-golf and a two-floor family game room are also guaranteed to whip up a healthy appetite— which can be satiated with some homemade sweetness from the Ice Creamery.

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). Certified divers can also go swimming with sharks—literally—via Shark Dive CLE.

FOSSIL-FUELED > Where can kids befriend a bald eagle named Spaghetti, experience an earthquake and dig for fossils? The Cleveland Museum of Natural History, natch. Visit before July 6 to see its “Wildlife Rescue: Miracles in Conservation” exhibit and marvel at everything from Burmese pythons to bumblebee dart frogs. The animal antics continue outside at the Perkins Wildlife Center, with a cute cast of characters including albino raccoon Meeko and turkey vulture Vinnie.

2021-22 Official Visitors Guide

TINY HANDS, BIG FUN > Welcome to the (real-life) dollhouse! Now housed in the historic Stager-Beckwith Mansion, the Children’s Museum of Cleveland has found new life thanks to a $10 million renovation. Its new location boasts three times the exhibit space—and the museum is making the most of it with seven exhibits, including the recently introduced Meadow (for infants), Playlist (music and movement) and Theater (dramatic play).

Sauce the City

Check Before You Go.

[ 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. More info at thisiscleveland.com/wings

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.” 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. 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. More info at thisiscleveland.com/donuts

Helmed by top chef Zack Bruell, this riverfront restaurant manages to rise to any occasion—from happy hour to tailgate menus. Get meta and enjoy a “Lake Erie Sunset” pale ale while enjoying the real thing from the patio. GOOD CATCH > Aw, shucks! Look no further than Alley Cat Oyster Bar for your fix of slurp-worthy oysters and fresh seafood. This sleek, riverfront restaurant is known for its sumptuous lobster rolls. (Pro tip: visit during happy hour for can’t-beat-‘em prices and the views to match.) TIME FOR SUPPER > Situated on the Flats West Bank, Music Box Supper Club beckons with Americana-inspired eats and a healthy dose of riverfront ambiance. The diverse entertainment lineup ensures something for everyone—from geeked-out science gatherings to Beatles-themed brunches to Cleveland storytelling nights.

Watch rowing crews and kayakers do their thing as you dine on locallysourced eats and sip Ohio beers from the comfort of the scenic patio. A LONG DINNER ON A SHORT PIER > Looking for something a bit more refined? Pier W is your spot for fine dining with a side of panoramic Lake Erie and skyline views. This Lakewood-based restaurant is thoughtfully designed to resemble the hull of a cruise ship—offering prime seafood selections and an extensive wine list.

[ By Rebecca Ferlotti ] LARDER DELICATESSEN > With ingredients fresh from the Great Lakes and local farms, Larder is all about seasonality. Their Hingetown locale suits their food—weird in the best way—with a punch of umami. You’ll find yourself heading back again and again for the ever-rotating sandwich menu. HERB’N TWINE > Grab a smoked turkey club with a side of tomato bisque, or let them make your hangover grilled cheese with black fig jam to add a little kick. With fresh-baked bread each day, this Ohio City spot’s fare is far from crummy, but might be a bit crumb-y. LA BODEGA > As their tagline suggests, Tremont’s La Bodega is all that and a bag of chips. See for yourself with this massive sandwich list featuring gems like the top-selling spicy turkey and bacon sub. Sure, they have salads, but let’s be honest: No one wants to be with that friend that orders a salad. SLYMAN’S TAVERN > Foodies flock for the legendary corned beef sandwich at Slyman’s, which has three locations and a roving food truck. Roughly the size of one’s head, this recipe has gone unchanged since 1964 and is straightup perfection. Make it a “Freddie combo” with fries and a soda or signature beer. LOX, STOCK AND BRISKET > We love when native Clevelanders come back to start restaurants. Anthony Zapolla has done just that in the Van Aken Market Hall, where he offers Jewish deli sandwiches like the loxtopped Ridge Lane, and the Lincoln Park (crispy buttermilk schnitzel on an egg bread bun).

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

Cleveland Whiskey

Check Before You Go.

[ 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. 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. HIGH SOCIETY > Sophisticated Society Lounge, also on East 4th Street, is the place with all of the good hooch— from nostalgic brands to newer whiskey favorites, both from Cleveland and afar. Blanton’s Single Barrel still holds its own served neat for sipping, but that Macallan 15 Year Old Scotch is tough competition. 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). More info at thisiscleveland.com/bourbon

Toast

[ By Lisa Sands and Jen Jones Donatelli ] TOAST > This Gordon Square-based wine bar features an eye-catching statement wall with wine bottles embedded in concrete—setting the tone for its edgy wine list with 35+ selections. Pair a glass (or bottle) with a charcuterie-and-cheese board, or the chef-curated “Trio of Toast.” FLIGHT CLEVELAND > Sip and shop at this so-stylish-it’s-practically-pluckedfrom-Instagram spot. At this Gordon Square wine bar and retail shop, let the knowledgeable staff be your co-pilots by curating the perfect wine flight (“Let’s Get Fizzical,” anyone?), or shop the shelves featuring 400+ selections for to-go tippling. TARTINE BISTRO > Nestled among boutiques and bookstores on Old Detroit Road is a “little slice of Paris in Rocky River.” This full-service restaurant and wine bar beckons with an inviting patio — and an ongoing invitation to uncork and unwind. (Do just that with a Bistro Board piled high with meat, fromage and other fixings.) MAGNA WINE BOUTIQUE > Located in historic downtown Bedford, this boutique bottle shop and tasting room aims to make wine less intimidating and more enjoyable for all. Dynamic duo Brittany and Dre Wiley source the wines they carry primarily from female- and minority-owned enterprises. CHATEAU HOUGH > Walk among the grapevines on this verdant plot of bountiful land just east of downtown. One of just a few urban wineries in Cleveland, Chateau Hough boasts a tasting room just beyond the vines where you can sample and purchase several varieties. The winery’s origin story is inspiring and memorable. More info at thisiscleveland.com/wine

COOL BEANS SEEK OUT A DELICIOUS CU FROM CLEVELAND COFFEE HOUSES

Rising Star

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. FITS THE BILL > Having an appreciation for refined tastes and empowering the farmers they source coffee from aren’t the only things that set Duck Rabbit Coffee apart. The Ohio City mainstay also offers bi-weekly and monthly coffee subscriptions for coffee lovers who enjoy their caffeine at home, as well. SOCIAL SCENE > Since Lalo Rodriguez opened CafeSocial Latinoamericano 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.

Check Before You Go.

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.
