Platform is not just Anna's favorite CLE brewery, but it actually has a role in our love story. If you're a beer fan, you cannot go wrong with Platform.
This is probably the most famous Cleveland tourist attraction (that and Cedar Point).
It's hard to hear Anna's last name "Riegelsberger" and not think of a delicious cheeseburger. Well, Anna's great grandfather, Papa Tony, thought the same thing. That's probably why he started a restaurant called the "Rustic Restaurant" with their featured dish called: the Riegelsburger. The Riegelsburger is basically a like big mac, but WAY BETTER. Anna also highly suggests the chicken paprikash, if it's one of the daily specials. Fun fact: the Rustic is actually still in the family; it is run by Anna's Uncle Gary and her dad's cousin.
This is one of Marc and Anna's favorite date night locations. The wings are the BEST wings in Cleveland, according to Anna, and Marc says it's in the top 2. This location is also near the hotel block.
For those out of town Christmas Story fans (yes, I'm talking to you Amanda and Preston), this might be a fun place to check out while in town. It's in Tremont, which has a bunch of cool restaurants and bars.
If you're looking for a spot to grab some lunch near the church, might we suggest Mike's Bar & Grill? Mike's is a local restaurant with delicious pub style food. Marc's favorite burger is here: the Santa Fe burger. We are also convinced they have the best sweet potato fries around.
This is a bit of a drive from the hotel area, but if you're looking for a classic Cleveland breakfast spot... look no further than Grumpy's Cafe. This is both Anna and Marc's favorite breakfast spot in Cleveland.
Kelsey Elizabeth Cakes is Anna's latest sweet obsession ever since she sampled their wedding cakes (yes, it is the bridal cake at the wedding.) Not only does KEC have the most beautiful, boutique treats, but they are also insanely delicious. This Instagram famous bake shop will NOT disappoint.
