For those that want to see all of music history, costumes, and records in one place. I would recommend walking around the lake front and getting a great view of cleveland
The West Side Market is the oldest operating indoor/outdoor market space in Cleveland, Ohio. Come grab food, flowers, and great coffee.
Need to grab a donut in the evening? A beer in the morning? Brewnuts recently opened its doors in Gordon Square, and has instantly become a staple of the near West Side (and one of our favorite restaurants in all of Cleveland). Festive events, rotating donut flavors like maple bacon and Fruity Pebbles, and a kick-ass draft selection make Brewnuts a place to build a day around.
Since Great Lakes Brewing Company blazed a trail for craft breweries, more have expanded on the scene. You can get an expertly led tour of Great Lakes (with some very generous beer samples) for just $5. If you want to fit in several tours, Cleveland Brew Bus is the way to go, hitting up prime CLE breweries such as Platform, Terrestrial, and Hansa.
Pierogies are an essential Cleveland food, and the best neighborhood for these pockets of deliciousness is arguably Tremont. Start at the famed Sokolowski’s University Inn, then head to Prosperity Social Club, perhaps the city’s coolest bar, for their farmhouse cheese variety. Head south to Slavic Village’s Seven Roses Deli to cap off the crawl with a truly old-school Polish experience. Warning - Sokolowskis has beer, cafeteria trays, and live music.
Come grab a cocktail at one of Amanda's favorite speak-easy bar in Cleveland. Make a reservation and get the password for the secret room in the back. Within stumbling distance is Porco Lounge and Tiki Room, another nationally acclaimed cocktail bar -- and the Duck Island Club is a chill place to finish the night with a shot and a beer.
You'll shoot your eye out.
Caffeine infusion with locations throughout the city.
Our favorite spot for smoothies. Andy recommends the Cranstrawberry smoothie
If you are feeling up for brunch on sunday....
Definitely get the brussel sprouts. And walk around e 4th when you are done.
For those of you that want a green juice to balance out the open bar....
Loosen your belt and get your grilled cheese on at an old favorite, blocks away from Amanda's old apartment.
Nice drive and park a little out of downtown. Great views of the city and a nice place for beach volleyball, kayaking, and a walk
Come gaze upon the river that caught fire... and pretend you are on an island vacation. Great for drinks and pub food.
Come for a cute street filled with pizzerias, bakeries, and coffee shops.
Great neighborhood to stroll around.
