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 C is 223 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 C Siegel and Joe Shuster, the creators of Superman, as well as a filming location for major motion pictures, including “A Christmas Story” and “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 C Standard 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.
I t is the 18th largest metro area and 15th largest consumer market in the United States with 2 million residents in Greater Cleveland metro and nearly 400,000 in the City of Cleveland.

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Jam on! This summer, the Rock Hall will debut “The Garage,” an interactive second-floor space where budding rock stars can get their hands on guitars, drums, keyboards and mixing/ recording stations. True to form, The Garage will offer a jam room for would-be garage bands to get their groove on inside the building that rock legends built. (No surprise that the Rock Hall welcomed a recordsetting 579,000 visitors in 2018.)

Cedar Point It’s hard to go next-level beyond 18 thrill-filled roller coasters, but Cedar Point has managed to up the ante yet again. The amusement park’s newest attraction—dubbed the “Forbidden Frontier on Adventure Island”—sets visitors loose on treasure hunts, secret missions and even the occasional encounter with goats, chickens and emus. Though the park is tight-lipped about Forbidden Frontier’s contents, the mystery is sure to be worth the wait.

Instead, wine and dine your way through the patios at Pinecrest— packed with local and national restaurants (like Oak & Embers Tavern, opening this summer) and boutiques, as well as luxe Silverspot Cinema. Other outdoor fun includes movies, concerts and yoga classes.
With a slew of residential skyscrapers popping up around Cleveland, the city is poised to hit Downtown Cleveland Allliance’s goal of 20,000 downtown residents by 2020. Currently under construction are the 187-unit The Beacon (featuring expansive views and rooftop digs for dogs), and the 34-story The Lumen (Playhouse Square’s new shining star). In prime position near Public Square will be The Residences at Terminal Tower (within a dice’s throw of JACK Casino), and the reimagined May Company Building (the mixed-use vision of Cavs owner Dan Gilbert).

By Annie Zaleski
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, and much like rock and roll itself, the multi-level museum just keeps on evolving.

Class of 2019 Though the 2019 Rock Hall induction ceremony is headed back to New York, locals will get first-look access to the museum’s memorabilia-packed inductee exhibit, which spotlights this year’s class. Newly minted members are an Anglophile’s dream, between alt-rock gods Radiohead and The Cure; psych-pop legends The Zombies; hard rockers Def Leppard; and glam cult favorites Roxy Music. However, the U.S.-based inductees—pop goddess Stevie Nicks and R&B superstar Janet Jackson—also loom larger than life.

Turn It Up, Man In August 1969, a sleepy farm in upstate New York unwittingly spawned a cultural revolution after 400,000 people experienced “3 Days of Peace & Music”—including sets from Jimi Hendrix, Santana and Grateful Dead—at the original Woodstock.

PITCH-PERFECT EXPERIENCES [ By Mike Kezdi ] Celebrate the 2019 Tribe season in style—with swag and special events tailor-made for true Indians fans.
BASEBALL DNA
For more than a century, the Cleveland Indians TM have tightly woven themselves into the fabric of a city that prides itself on its history and sports teams. For a noted football town, Cleveland’s connection to baseball runs longer—and deeper—than just about any other sport. Though the words “Cleveland” and “baseball” might immediately evoke images of hot summer nights at Progressive Field, the rumbling of John Adams’ iconic bass drum or those mighty, historic teams of the 1990s, the city’s love affair with the national pastime doesn’t start with the Indians. Cleveland’s baseball history actually goes back as far as the Civil War, when the Forest City Baseball Club was founded. Originally an amateur organization, the “Forest Citys” went pro in 1869, and by 1871, had joined the newly formed National Association of Professional Baseball. That team folded—leading to the creation of what would eventually become the Indians. But first they would be known as the Spiders. Then the Blues. Then the Bronchos. Then the Naps. In fact, the Indians wouldn’t become the Indians until 1915.
Got kids in tow? Head for the family deck to baptize them in ballpark traditions, like wolfing nachos, sustaining Cracker Jack comas and dining on dogs. (Luckily, there are 11 Sugardale Dollar Dog Nights on the calendar.) During Sunday home games, KeyBank Kids Fun Days give kids the chance to run the bases and even join the starting lineup. Upcoming promos include four jersey giveaways and three bobbleheads including Francisco Lindor (May 25), Mike Clevinger (June 5) and Sandy Alomar (August 24). Plus, two Rock and Blast extravaganzas promise fireworks and fun on July 12 and 13.
More than 100 years, three stadiums, six pennants and two world titles later, the Indians remain one of the oldest—and winningest— franchises in baseball. Cleveland has also been the home of over a dozen National Baseball Hall of Fame inductees (from Cy Young to Jim Thome) and the 1945 Negro League World Series champs Cleveland Buckeyes.
Once the hangout of Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Ty Cobb, Hotz Café in Tremont is the place for pre-gaming like the pros.

MLB All-Star Game 4: Aug. 8, 1981 @ Municipal Stadium Score: NL 5, AL 4. MVP: Gary Carter This rare August All-Star Game was delayed by a strike, but fans were ready for baseball’s return with a record crowd of 72,086 in attendance. Future President George H.W. Bush threw the first pitch.
MLB All-Star Game 5: July 8, 1997 @ Jacobs Field Score: AL 3, NL 1. MVP: Sandy Alomar, Jr. Like ’54, this season would be remembered for both World Series woes and a wonderful Midsummer Classic. The Tribe’s own Alomar, Jr. was the star, hitting a game-winning home run to earn MVP honors.

FIELDS OF DREAMS By Mike Kezdi
The story of Cleveland baseball cannot be told without mentioning League Park—home to the Cleveland Spiders, Buckeyes and Indians. Cy Young pitched the first game in 1891, setting the tone for other see-it-to-believe-it moments like Babe Ruth’s 500th home run and the end of Joe DiMaggio’s 56-game hitting streak. The park also saw two World Series wins, with the Indians taking all in 1920 and the Buckeyes winning the Negro League World Series in 1945. Constructed in 1931, Cleveland Municipal Stadium became the next home of the Indians. Seating almost 80,000 people, the cavernous stadium on Lake Erie became the stuff of legends—like Bob Feller pitching his third no-hitter in 1951 and the infamous

10-cent beer night that got more than a little bit rowdy back in 1974. In 1994, the Indians moved to Jacobs Field—named for then-owner Dick Jacobs – in the Gateway complex. The new field has seen plenty of its own history, hosting three World Series and 455 consecutive sellouts. In 2007, Progressive Insurance purchased the naming rights, with the field known as Progressive Field ever since (though Clevelanders still refer to it as “The Jake”). To read about it all—and then some—hit up Heritage Park at Progressive Field, home to the Indians Hall of Fame.

Score: AL 11, NL 9. MVP not awarded. The 1954 season is remembered for ending in heartache (a World Series sweep), but the All-Star Game was pure joy. The Indians’ Al Rosen hit two homers, and Cleveland players drove in eight of the victorious American League’s 11 runs.

Forget going to California or Florida to soak up some rays—Northeast Ohio’s sandy beaches are the place to be during warmer months. In fact, Edgewater Beach can get so crowded during the summer that it could rival a tropical resort. Part of Edgewater Park, the near West Side enclave boasts a 2,400-foot beach with 1,000 feet of swimming access and a pup-friendly section (along with cabana rentals and a fishing pier). Plus, the $4.3 million Edgewater Beach House—an open-air hangout that oozes relaxation—serves up a variety of tasty drinks and food.

In 2016, USA Today readers named the nearly half-mile stretch the seventh Best Freshwater Beach in America. It’s easy to see why: the Bay Village beach is tranquil and well-kept. In fact, in 2011 Huntington Beach became Blue Wave Certified, a designation recognizing its eco-conscious practices. Be sure to stop by The Hut for local Honey Hut ice cream and other beachy fare. Sun-seekers on the far East Side are also in luck: Mentor’s Headlands Beach State Park boasts a whopping one-mile-long stretch of sand, making it Ohio’s largest beach.

Built as an ode to U.S. President James A. Garfield, the city’s first steel frame skyscraper housed banks such as Guardian Savings & Trust and National City Bank for over 90 years. Today the building—which boasts original touches like a large marble staircase— houses the aptly named, upscale Marble Room steakhouse. Over the bridge at Ohio City’s Crop Bistro, diners can’t decide which is more impressive—the restaurant’s massive arched windows, bank vault-slashparty room or its locally sourced menu. In Tremont, Zagat-rated Dante serves up “New American” cuisine inside a historic bank building that retains its grandeur.

Hole-y Grail When beer met donuts, magical things happened, and Brewnuts was born. This colorful Gordon Square spot is a must-stop for any self-respecting sweet tooth! Enjoy a beer-infused donut alongside a piping-hot Phoenix Coffee or a local beer from the 16-tap selection—it’s the pairing that just keeps on giving. We All Scream for Ice Cream At Mitchell’s in Ohio City, ice cream lovers can peek behind the proverbial curtain by watching the crew work their magic through a massive window.

Innovation is the key at Cleveland Whiskey. Their bourbons and whiskeys are produced with black cherry, apple, honey locust and hickory woods; the smoke makes the flavor.
At Western Reserve Distillers, every step in producing their spirits is USDA Certified Organic— cementing its rep as Ohio’s only organic craft distillery. (Take a tour to peep the 3,000-liter copper hybrid pot still.)
Patterned after a Tuscan chapel in Italy, the new Still House at Gervasi Vineyard does double-duty as a café by day and a distillery, craft cocktail and cigar lounge by night.

Don’t leave AsiaTown without stopping by Asia Plaza for Chinese food at Li Wah and a quick spree at Asian grocery store Park to Shop.
WEST SIDE STORY By Tricia Chaves
Life just tastes better at the corner of West 25th Street and Lorain Avenue, where 100+ vendors hustle their wares to hungry customers at the iconic West Side Market. At this gourmet date destination, lovebirds perch on the upper level to enjoy the view a deux, pecking at fist-sized sandwiches from Frank’s Bratwurst or a more delicate Crêpe de Luxe. And it’s top chef-approved—as evidenced by snapshots of stall owners smiling alongside Michael Symon and not-so-subtle signage steering you to the Iron Chef’s preferred purveyors.

Everything old becomes new again (and again, and again) at Hamilton Collaborative, an innovation hub located in St. Clair-Superior. Case in point: its very own building, the sprawling Osborn Industrial Complex that first opened in 1902. Today, the former manufacturing landmark houses Cleveland’s most creative dreamers and doers. Collaborative members include the community-access motorcycle Skidmark Garage (hosts of Fuel Cleveland motorcycle show on July 27); woodworking makerspace Soulcraft Cleveland; and Rebuilders Xchange, a treasure trove for architectural salvage. Also in the house is IngenuityFest, an annual celebration of yesterday’s trades and tomorrow’s technologies.

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 Barley House). 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.

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, but now the east bank is reinvented around big businesses in the EY office tower, apartments, the trendy Aloft Hotel, restaurants and entertainment 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. 216.514.8700 | flatseast.com |

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 threeblock-long outdoor Mall, containing beautiful pedestrian walkways that stretch from the heart of Downtown to the lakefront bluffs. Below the Mall is Cleveland’s new Convention Center attached to the above ground Global Center for Health Innovation and Hilton Cleveland Downtown. Civic Center District
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.

CAMPUS DISTRICT 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.

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 Chef Michael Symon (Lola), Chef Jonathon Sawyer (The Greenhouse Tavern) and Chef Zack Bruell (Chinato). House of Blues hosts Beck- to Black Crowes-caliber concerts. 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. East 4th Street

Beneath that newlyinstalled, 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.

3 Must-Do Things
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 Spice Kitchen + Bar, 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.

The party moves to Kamm’s Corners after the Downtown parade on St. Patrick’s Day. Irish pubs attract barflies with Gaelic football, rugby and live Celtic music, while walkers explore hobby shops, the Kamm’s Corners’ Sunday Farmers Market and the historic Alger Cemetery, resting place of Oswald Kamm (that guy the community’s named after). Nestled between Downtown and the airport, it’s a great locale to grab a Guinness or eat everything from Irish to Italian.

square 216.932.8822 | VISITSHAKERSQUARE.COM
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 Cosmic Bobbins) and where to have fun (Shaker Square Cinemas). Just leave time for Larchmere Boulevard, Cleveland’s art and antiques shopping district (with fine folks like Loganberry’s Books).

JOIN THE FUN Even opposites — say, punk rockers vs. classical music geeks — call Cleveland an entertainment epicenter. Massive attractions like Cedar Point Amusement Park, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Playhouse Square (the second largest theater district in America) draw millions of varied visitors a year. Choose from familyfocused adventures at Great Lakes Science Center or Swings-n-Things or try adults-only merrymaking via the JACK Cleveland Casino or Hilarities 4th Street Theatre. Yet, it’s often the out-of-the-box options — outdoor concerts on Public Square, presidential history at Lake View Cemetery, or touring the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland’s Money Museum — that keep day-trippers coming back for more.

SMALL WONDERS
SCHOOL’S OUT FOR THE SUMMER, AND NORTHEAST OHIO’S AMUSEMENT PARKS, PLAY ZONES AND MUSEUMS ARE JUST A SHORT VAN 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. 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. TINY HANDS, BIG FUN > One of Cleveland’s most beloved museums, the Children’s Museum of Cleveland found new life in Millionaire’s Row’s historic Stager-Beckwith mansion in 2017. Thanks to a $10 million renovation, the new location boasts three times the exhibit space—and the museum is making the most of it with seven current exhibits, including the new Meadow (for infants), Playlist (music and movement) and Theater (dramatic play).

BECAUSE, SCIENCE. > Get a taste of life in the fast lane at Great Lakes Science Center’s new “Vroom! A Car Adventure” exhibit (on display through September 2). Kids can peek under the proverbial hood to see how cars work. In addition to the center’s usual mix of immersive exhibits—such as the totfriendly Polymer Funhouse—the Cleveland Clinic DOME Theater boasts a six-story screen and the world’s first giant dome projection system. FOSSIL-FUELED > Cleveland loves “Lucy,” aka the oldest prehuman-ancestor fossil to show evidence of upright walking when unearthed by the Cleveland Museum of Natural History in 1974. Forty-five years later, the museum’s new “Finding Lucy: Our First Steps in Discovery” delves into the myriad ways this discovery helped further our understanding of human evolution. On weekends, don’t miss the planetarium show “One World, One Sky: Big Bird’s Adventure,” which transports tykes from Sesame Street to the moon. 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, pony rides and a playground!) Visit on June 1-2 for “Railroads in the Park,” replete with model train exhibits, or on July 12 for “FarmFest: Ribs, Brew & Music,” a free, family-friendly event with wagon rides, ice cream making and more.

[ By Annie Zaleski ] TOURS OF CLEVELAND > Hit the pavement for an up-close walking tour of our booming city.

TROLLEY TOURS OF CLEVELAND > Let Lolly the Trolley whisk you away on a City Sightseeing Tour that covers all the bases (including Progressive Field, of course). The shorter one-hour tour hits waterfront areas such as the Flats and North Coast Harbor, while a longer option heads farther afield to University Circle and Cleveland Cultural Gardens. SEGWAY TOURS OF CLEVELAND > For a more unique trek through the streets of C-Town, whiz through the CLE streets atop a Segway. Led by Cleveland lifer Karl Johnson, this guided tour offers both a Segway lesson and a fact-filled look at the sights and sounds of the city. CLEVELAND BIKE TOURS > Get a guided glimpse of the city on two wheels. The Ohio City Bike Tour whirs past landmarks including haunted hotspot Franklin Castle, while the Downtown Cleveland Bike Tour passes through bustling Public Square and Playhouse Square. TAKE A HIKE TOURS > Slip on comfy shoes and join one of the weekly, seasonal Take a Hike Tours. Set apart by fun character encounters with historic figures, these laid-back, 90-minute walks zone in on the city’s historic legacy in six different areas (including the Warehouse District, University Circle and Playhouse Square).
