The Donts of Cleveland…#1. DONT VISIT CLEVELAND….EVER..

[@mikejr5703]

Hell yeah I'm from right out side of Cleveland I'm in Westlake ohio

[@j.cleveland9031]

Grew up on the South Side(now known as Tremont), 1 exit from Progressive Field, (downtown), W.14th Street, Lincoln Park, Tremont School area, too many landmarks + there seemed like there was a church on every corner + so many ethnic diverse cultures/customs, languages, foods, religions back then 🙋. Everyone was inclusive + attended festivals, parades, and local celebrations! *There are 2 other Cleveland, Ohio signs; totalling 3 signs. #2) E. 9th Street, #3)If you are driving from Progressive field go 1 exit West to W. 14th street exit, the at stop sign at the end of exit turn left + you can see it(*It's right before Abbey Bridge when leaving the SouthSide now known as the Tremont neighborhood)on Abbey Avenue in Tremont. If that were confusing again here are the 3 scripted Cleveland, Ohio Signs locations if you want to visit + take a photo of it or with it; Three scripted Cleveland signs are located at #1)Edgewater Park, #2)Northcoast Harbor on E. 9th Street and #3)on Abbey Avenue in Tremont.

If you are travelling, like any place on earth, use common sense, take caution, and know your surroundings...most people are friendly.

[@fullario]

I grew up in Buffalo so have a real soft spot for "Rust Belt" cities. My family just spent three days in NE Ohio and had a great time in Cleveland, Akron and Canton. Tons of stuff to do, see and eat. Downtown Cleveland is surprisingly nice.

[@ahscott2001]

As a local, don't miss the Cleveland Orchestra. It may be at Blossom depending on when you go, but it's one of the best orchestras in the country.

[@MicrowaveWalrus]

blossom is a very nice venue for concerts in general, it's not super big, but the natural amphitheater shape is nice for sound and it's in a cool rural location. too bad you can't really see the stage from the grass, however. i've never been to red rocks, i'd imagine red rocks is better... but... anyway.

It's so pretty over there. As a New Yorker I'd say your metroparks are to die for. Your city is peaceful and serene unlike the ultra-aggressive New Yorkers driving on the road. Cost of living is affordable, and your transportation is almost always without fail always on time. Oh and the people are friendly.

No clue if it still does, though. I hope so on both notes. Wait, that was the Cleveland Institute of Art. The museum had a rotating cast of collections, which was a nice touch.

We moved here to Cleveland in 1978 from Miami, FL, where I had been living at the time. I left here around 2008 to move to Cincinnati for about 9 years because one of my daughters lived down there. We both ended up moving back here. In all the times I've moved house (39 at last count) this is the first and only time I have ever come back to a place I've left.

[@douglan3]

Clevelander here! So glad to see you filmed at Edgewater! It is the one place I tell all of my residents and fellows to visit when they come to Cleveland! It's true that those of us who live here want to share our city with others. We are more than willing to give advice on where to go and what to do. Winter can sometimes stick around for a while but late spring to early fall are fabulous! Also, a lot has changed in the past 15-20 years so, for those who haven't been here in a while, don't be afraid to give Cleveland another visit.

[@billyfrickleman3212]

As a Clevelander, I love the ethnic presence in different neighborhoods. Little Italy is fantastic, there are pockets of ethnic Caribbean people, TON of Easter European restaurants. You can find pierogis pretty much everywhere. That's just scratching the surface.

[@jrmills89]

Welcome to Cleveland! If you're into classical music, there are tons of opportunities to hear world-class performances all over the city. And good tip on the national park -- it's a great contrast to the activities downtown.

Thank you so much for all that you do to help all of us, other fellow travelers and to share your experiences with us :) (P.S.) So happy that you brought up Cedar Point.

The Ohio Statehouse is here, the National Veterans Memorial and Museum is here and the local food and brew scene is amazing!!

Another tip- if the Edgewater Cleveland sign is full of people, which is normally is, try the Tremont or North Coast Harbor ones instead. Honestly the North Coast Harbor sign has a better view of Cleveland (in my opinion). A few more suggestions from a local- the best food isn't downtown or even on West 25th, the best food is in Ohio City and Tremont. Get breakfast at Grumpy's and order the Cajun potatoes! Get chocolate at Malley's, and go to a location with an ice cream shop in it (the North Olmsted location has a rotating eating section in the middle of the store). If you wanna see gorgeous houses, take a drive down Lake Road on the west side or the Coventry neighborhood (along Coventry Road) on the east side. If you're in the east side suburbs, you have have to go to Corky and Lenny's deli. And, fun fact, the 35mph turn on I-90 is literally called Dead Man's Curve, so.... there's that lmao. But you probably WILL drive down it if you go to the art museum or the gorgeous cultural gardens along MLK blvd (another highly recommend).

There’s some beautiful beaches along Lake Erie! My favorites are west of Cleveland in Avon Lake (Veteran’s Memorial Park) and in Vermillion. Especially if you’re driving to Sandusky, definitely stop and check them out.

Hey man I’ve seen a lot of your videos. I live here and you nailed it. Thanks for the great review. You did butcher Cuyahoga but that’s no biggie. Dude you been all over the world. To say these nice things about our little patch of the world was really nice to hear. Specially talking about the Clevelander. We are nice people and very welcoming. If your from out of town and one of us finds out your in for a conversation that’s for sure. So many bad things people say about our city. Guess what we really don’t care about that. We know it’s home and we love it. Thanks bro.

Cleveland has gotta be one of the most underrated cities in America. Such a fun city.

[@woltersworld]

Agreed

[@charlesross9260]

I lived in Cleveland in the '70's. Fabulous museum, the best orchestra in the world, some of the most interesting people I ever met, hideous weather, and I got mugged twice.

[@kimp8869]

Born and raised Cleveland girl it's nice to see someone talk great about it 😊

[@mikedaswed]

Yep Got to spend a year there and LOVED the downtown area to live in; great bars, great people!! And the concerts by the water!!!

[@shanebrowne4642]

As a lifelong resident of Ne Ohio, I'm surprised at how exciting you made it sound. I might have to actually spend more time in Cleveland 😅

[@Mortablunt]

Have you ever gotten a cleveland steamer?

[@TipTheScales27]

Cleveland really has a lot to offer!

[@christinehayes839]

Born and raised Clevelander - thank you! We have so much to offer.

[@thepopcultureconnection2840]

Cleveland area born and raised. It's funny how many people ive talked to that have visited Cleveland and want to live here.

[@theresagelotti4770]

We ❤️ our city! Thanks for showcasing all of the wonderful things we have here in beautiful Cleveland, Ohio! Oh and by the way, that 35 mph curve in the highway is commonly referred to by the locals as Dead Man’s Curve so, yes-please heed the warnings and definitely slow down! 😊

[@devonchannell46]

cleveland is one of the best citys ive ever been to

[@fan4life345]

Lived in Chicago for 15 years before I moved to Cleveland. Absolutely without a doubt, Cleveland is now my home for life!! Love the people and the sports teams even more. And if you love to fish, lake erie produces big walleye and steelhead trout in the fall/winter/spring!!

[@frenchfan3368]

It's also worth mentioning that the President James Garfield National Historic Site is in the Cleveland suburb of Mentor.

[@thegirlwiththebikes]

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve mentioned the Rapid to people that didn’t live here and got confused looks back. Never realized how unique it was.

[@enzoorlando3984]

Very good video makes me proud to be from Cleveland and it’s crazy how the tourism industry has went up there in the past few years

[@Mortablunt]

You could say like a STEAM roller. Heeeyooooo!

[@cantkeepmedown100]

Great video - don’t forget about our surrounding “party” islands such as Kelly’s, and Bass, great summertime fun taking the ferry

[@TMD3453]

Cleveland Arcade is awesome, thanks for mentioning! With Cedar Point and West Side Market, I’m there! Love it, thanks! And I won’t shoot my eye out!! 😀

[@Mwolves25]

Thanks for coming! Also, thanks for being curious and not judgemental, as Ted Lasso would say.

[@marcellax4556]

Cleveland has the largest theater district in the U.S., second only to NYC. We have the largest outdoor chandelier in the U.S. The Cleveland Orchestra is world renowned, performs in the opulent Severance Hall in University Circle. Speaking of University Circle, home of the Cleveland Museum of Art-spectacular! Free outdoor concerts every Wednesday at Wade Oval. Little Italy is just around the corner. A few blocks down, world renown Cleveland Clinic. Downtown has some of the BEST steakhouses and raw bars, namely, The Marbleroom and Red Steakhouse. 4th Street is an everyday Festival. The architecture of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is one of a kind, glass pyramid in the front. We have The Flats Entertainment area and Ohio City, both with outstanding restaurants, parks, music venues and swanky hotels. The Euclid/Superior Arcade is the first indoor shopping mall in the U.S. Karamu House is the first and oldest African American theater house in the U.S. One of the reasons why Cleveland has so many opulent places is because the Rockefellers and other iconic wealthy families lived here and developed the area. It’s soooo much to do here and see, especially in summer.

As a world traveler, I think many Clevelanders dont realize how good they have it. The violent crime is concentrated in very specific parts of the city. Cleveland literally has everything that Chicago has for half the price. Music, arts, sports, world-class museums and nature preserves. Also, some of the friendliest people in the entire nation.

[@afridgetoofar1818]

Cleveland also has way less traffic than most cities.

[@trink591122]

35 mph on a curve- yes it’s called dead man’s curve for that reason mate! Proud of my hometown even when I’m far away.

[@kelleywoodruff100]

I love your show. My don’ts for Cleveland was Don’t Go. This segment changed my mind. I’m gonna try one more time. They say “3 times is a charm.”😊

[@BobbyReborn]

Great vid! A lot of ground covered. Cleveland is so accessible, in a way that other big cities aren't! Melt is an amazing grilled cheese restaurant there. The Art museum might be top 5 in the world!

[@pbmpharmacist]

Love their art museum, yes

[@jamesmatthews7548]

Cleveland is not a big city its th 56th most biggest city in the us

[@Robert-hs8yf]

Damn Straight.. don’t forget Allen Freed coined the phrase … Rock n Roll while DJing in Cleveland. Cleveland Rocks..

[@bonnjill]

That 35 mph curve on the highway is called Dead Man's Curve for a reason! Great video. I've enjoyed your videos from Europe for a while now. I was surprised to see you in my hometown. I had no idea you could spend the night in the Christmas Story House, but good choice eating at the Rowley Inn across the street.

[@feeterican]

As a lifer here in the Cleveland area and all around the east side, you gave good advice. There are a few things like Chagrin Falls, Cleveland Hts (Coventry area) and Mentor Headlands Beach or Fairport Harbor. Oh yeah if your end up in the Coventry area just head down the hill on Mayfield Road and you will end up in Little Italy, great food there.

[@JDeubel]

It is a completely underrated City I've been to most of the cities in the Midwest and I tell you what I would choose Cleveland over most of the Cities including Philadelphia Pittsburgh Buffalo Chicago Detroit Cincinnati Indianapolis Boston I've had better food and had better times and met more friendly people in Cleveland than any other City especially the ones I just named!

[@mayavenuemisfit814]

Cleveland would be in my top five, but not at the top of my list. 1. Cincinnati 2. Pittsburgh 3. Detroit 4. Buffalo 5. Cleveland This is just based on my personal experiences and interactions with the locals in those cities. Then again, I'm biased because I lived in the top two cities on my list and had a lot of fun and good times in both of them.

[@aidanschram9652]

@@mayavenuemisfit814 What year(s) did you live in Cincinnati? I moved to Cincinnati for school last year and I definitely enjoy it, but after visiting Cleveland I felt there was more to do there. I still think id rather live in Cincy than Cleveland though

[@ginacleveland7995]

😊😊😊

[@mikimiki6202]

Winters are horrible, the rest is great👍my friend's Grandma is one of the homes next to Christmas Story house, we'd run and play in the field there, behind you'll see the steel mill

[@ebackvon]

I would add that there are many concert venues around greater Cleveland.
