Things To Do
The Feast of the Assumption
This is a MUST go if you are staying the weekend in CLE. During the four days of festivities, booths are set up in the churchyard featuring Italian foods, desserts, live music and local vendors. MG's favorites are Corbos Bakery and La Dolce Vita. Highly recommend taking an Uber/Lyft due to very limited parking.
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
You can rent paddleboards and kayaks outside of the museum, too
Progressive Field
Kind of serendipitous that the Guards are playing the San Diego Padres at home this weekend. You can get a standing room ticket for only $20! Don't forget to try Cleveland's famous stadium mustard on your 'dog.
West Side Market
Cleveland’s largest and oldest continuously operating public market since 1912! Definitely worth checking out and getting a pepperoni roll or homemade crepe. There's also plenty of restaurants & breweries on this street, and Mitchells too, just saying.
Mitchell's Ice Cream
If you want to feel like you're watching Willy Wonka's factory while eating the best ice cream ever, you have to check out our favorite shop!
East 4th Street
An alley full of great restaurants and bars. Some recs are Cordelia, Barrio, & Mabels BBQ. You can also go bowling and eat/drink at The Corney Alley. You may just want to pick up some Cleveland merch at CLE Clothing Co so you can go back and tell your friends that Cleveland is actually not "the mistake on the lake." You can also walk over to the Arcade, opened in May of 1890 as the first indoor shopping center in America- you may recognize it from the latest Superman movie.
Edgewater Beach
A beautiful beach, sand volleyball courts, walking trail, fishing pier, with live music on Thursdays.
Rocky River Reservation
The Metroparks are absolutely beautiful this time of year. Rocky River Reservation is a favorite and a great way to get out and do some walking. Checkout the website for more information.
Cleveland Museums
The Cleveland Art Museum (free!), The Cleveland Museum of Natural History, Great Lakes Science Center. If you go to the Art/History, recommend walking the Cultural Gardens, too. If you're up for a drive, the Pro Football Hall of Fame is in Canton.
