this saved my summer
same I'm a content creator from Cleveland, Ohio always leaving the city for great scenery I'm taking advantage of some of these places to boost my content on my channel this is exciting.
@@MARLEYSKE how are the entities in ohio
Still watching in 2022!👍🏽❤️
Whoever you are, you saved a vacation trip to Cleveland. Not all heroes wear capes.
Haha, glad to hear it! -John
Don’t forget Cedar Point in Sandusky! Wade Oval Wednesdays free concerts! The Cleveland Museum of Art! Severance Hall summer concert series!
Cedar Point isnt anywhere near Cleveland. Lol
Marcella X or Skeets on Sunday night, wolfs den on Monday night. The cocktail in East Cleveland on Thursday night. 😂
Anyone else work at Cedar Point? I had some friends that did and they lived in those horrible apartments on the grounds. I swear they had roaches and bed bugs the size of a cat lol
They mentioned the orchestra at blossom and severance.
@@dominicbruno3109 it’s only an hour away
Cleveland has a lot of great things you can do to enjoy your summer. 😄❤👍
I love Cleveland. Proud to call it home.
Lol
Noah many US cities have this including national parks waterfront restaurants and rooftops this is nothing new.. Visit Chicago Detroit or Milwualkee, Indianapolis is impressive as well.
Lmao
Wow this is sad....I feel bad for you
Thanks for the memories of my old homestead. This video makes me proud!
Holy crap. I live in Cleveland and I didnt know about quite a few of these. Now I have some places I want to see
How did visiting these work out? Would you recommend?
@@my_post_traumatic_growth not sure why CZcams notified me about a 2 year old comment but a few of these I can comment on for sure. Kayaking the cuyahoga river is pretty awesome, some great stuff to see. The zoo is fantastic too and I’ve been there more times than I can count. Edge water beach is meh. Not the worst by any stretch of the imagination but still just Lake Erie. Rode my mountain bike at cuyahoga national park and it’s my favorite trail system, not sure about their other stuff. Not just the Cleveland orchestra at blossom but really anyone, blossom is a real unique venue regardless of who you see. The harbor is also pretty awesome, I’ve been to the science center there and on the old freighter ship plenty times and it’s always neat but mostly when I was younger. The botanical gardens aren’t really my forte but if you like that stuff then it’s for sure worth a look. Never been to the rock n roll hall of fame but considering it’s the most visited, probably worth a trip. That’s all I really have first hand knowledge on but if you come here and look for smaller festivals or events, or really even drive around enough then there’s so much more. Side additions would be visiting our aquarium because the aquarium, it’s truly unique the way it’s built inside and really incredible. There’s also the west side market and the Asian market which are both cool places to go to. Best way to find more is to just be here and look around for more
Born and raised in Cleveland. Have been to some of these places, but many I have not. Always hearing the negative about Cleveland, nice to see a such a positive spin on the metropolitan Cleveland area.
Deborah Parker I was also born and raised here as well. Up here to bury my dad this week but at some point I plan on partaking some of those offerings after this trying week for my family here.
Not from Cleveland but from Lima instead. From FL & NC as well. So I have a tendency to confuse things :/... That river, it does tours too right? On the ship cruise things? Like, that the golden girls, is that filmed out there? Or is that FL? 🤔🤷🏻♀️
Kids in Cleveland w/ butterflies: they love me! 🤗
Reality: no, they were born in a butterfly factory & they're used to humans
Bratty kid: would ppl get mad if I tore the wings off?
Adults: 😤😠🤫 don't embarrass me!
#1 Cleveland Art Museum and a bite to eat at Prestis Bakery in Little Italy!
#2 West Side Market, dinner at Townhall and dessert at Mitchell's Icecream ftw!
Honorable mention - Coventry
Those are fantastic spots! I plan to feature the art museum and West Side Market in a future video! Thank you. - John
Hmm, good points. I love Coventry!
the should tear down the west side market and build a heinens
Coventry used to be more than an honorable mention but you are not wrong,
@@personalracingday4563 are you crazy
Great!!!! Thank you for making this.
Well my next date night just got soooo much better!
This is a fantastic video. Well appreciated! God bless! ❤
From Pittsburgh area, but I believe Cleveland in underrated
went to school in west PA, nice area too.
President Garfield's final resting place is a must see and the cemetery itself.
Wow! Born and raised there but always go back to visit family. Looking forward to visiting and doing some new things! Thx
Excellent informatory video
Miss so much!
At least we’re not Detroit
I'm sorry Detroit. I see y'all...😏
I get the reference
..."WE'RE NOT DETROIT!"
Our economy is based on LeBron James
@@Loachie90 sad
I’m here for the weekend and omg 😮 Cleveland is so beautiful 😍 I’m glad that I get to spend time here and while spending time with my girlfriend and I’m having the best time of my life
Yes i love cleveland
Glad to hear you had such a good time. Thanks for commenting! Hope you enjoy the summer. - John
You are so nice it's always negative videos of cities on youtube thank you for your positivity I want to visit Cleveland someday ❤️
Please do! I hope you enjoy your visit when you're able to make the trip
I went and loved it. Now thinking of moving there. It's definitely underrated.
Brought my boyfriend from Germany here. We live in Ohio city and having a wonderful time!
@@aemckee6079 nice!!! Do you guys love it?
Absolutely love Cleveland. I've been to Edgewater Park several times to have my photo taken on the Cleveland script sign. I will be there next week to do some shopping downtown. GO Cleveland!
Suprised Cleveland aquarium was not mentioned, its actually good..better than clearwater beach, florida aquarium.
No , The place is not.
@@murielfields7445 well its better than clearwater beach aquarium..i have been to both.
I like the Greater Cleveland Aquarium too. It's going to be in a future video. They have a lot of new exhibits there. Check it out: czcams.com/video/RrkI89TWw8w/video.html&t=
@@frankcastle546 as far as the actual tanks go, I've been very impressed with the Cleveland aquarium. The stocking is pretty healthy and all the work that has gone into crafting the backgrounds/decor is obvious. Sure the carpet is kinda gross but it's an aquarium.
Also the shark tunnels are so cool.
@@frankcastle546 I didn't say anything about the lights? I was specifically talking about their saltwater set ups (like the lion fish tanks) and the amazon river basin tanks.... and I've been there? With other people? And talked to other people who have gone? It's not a bad aquarium. Maybe not the best but definitely not a horrible one. Like I said the stocking is pretty decent (none of the tanks were crowded from what I remember). I could do with less round tanks in their exhibits but that's about it.
Wow! Thank you for sharing.
My family member Liz was in the Cleveland Orchestra.
Great places. Thank you for the tour! God bless you!
I so miss Ohio the heart of US
Great ideas. The metro parks are awesome as is the zoo.
Cleveland is an interesting place to live.
So much fun stuff and good food to eat in Cleveland.
Never knew… Only thing I knew about Cleveland were the Cavaliers, Indians and Browns. But now it’s on the top of my list of American cities to visit (since I’m from a tiny country I prefer smaller scaled AND green urban areas above the big cities). Many thanks for the awesome video!
I have been there many times, and I love Cleveland. Don’t forget to visit Cleveland Museum of Art
Geneva on the lake is a good spot.
Good idea. Thank you! - John
cant wait to visit Cleveland!!! people if you live there go and and visit all these beautiful places please!!!!!!!!!!!
So many places to visit here in Cleveland. Great video 🤗
Thanks so much for watching. Would love to hear any other places you recommend people try. Thanks! - John
This video made me homesick 😞
Thank you so much. I'm planning a trip there this year and need some ideas. This really helped ✔✔👏🏾👏🏾
Glad to hear it! -John
Great list. Perhaps The Cleveland Museum Of Art should be in there though 😊
good video but lots missed
I totally agree. I have it planned for a video about indoor activities. You might like this: czcams.com/video/hYVionPUQgE/video.html
Louise Hadaway I agree. He left that off the list..
Wow this is really encouraging. Thank you for making this video.
Largest Broadway district outside of NYC if you're into that sort of think. Gorgeous theaters for all kinds of live entertainment. Comedians and concerts and stuff.
How exciting to see my hometown being so revitalized! Born / raised there & I've seen the rise / fall of the City a few times over - Cleveland is a GREAT City and I'm very proud to call it "home" - I'm actually giving serious thought to moving back from Denver
Let us know if you move back! It would be great to have you. A lot has changed. At least you have some good ideas next time you visit. - John
Hope you’ve moved back! I keep coming back, this time with my boyfriend from Germany. He adores Cleveland!
This city, is my city, and I love it 😌
Even though Cedar Point is in Sandusky it’s worth the drive for anyone in Cleveland
Great list, love this city. Surprised playhouse square didn’t get mentioned
Cleveland Ohio is a Very beautiful plece to visit realy...I loved♥❤
Oh My Goodness 😍 Thank You This 🤸🏼♀️🤸🏼♀️💃i Live In A Suburb Of Cleveland And have Been Really Bored Thanks For Giving Me Some Great Ideas For Outing. I APPRECIATE IT !!!
4th street looks like a fun place to check out. I have fond memories of the Cleveland Zoo as a child in the 70's (we lived in Old Brooklyn at the time). Shady and lush with a fun kiddy park.
The adaptive stuff makes me so happy
Me and the wife just moved here in November. This video showed up in my recommend. We will definitely be doing this entire list!!!!!
Edgewater has concerts every thursday night 6-9 i think....
welcome and there is a TON NOT mentioned here. Just ask around. Everyone in Cleveland is super approachable and friendly. And we love our city and love to show it off. Outsiders have no idea :)
Welcome to Cleveland! I'd love to hear about your experiences. - John
@@clevelanddotcom For sure! Where did you come from? What do you like best about Cleveland? Least? Why did you move here?
Welcome.
It's so much more to do in Cleveland! This brings tears to my eyes because I miss Cleveland. can"t wait to come back to the CLE!
What are you waiting for? Get to Cleveland as soon as you can. I will be there next week doing some shopping downtown. I absolutely love Cleveland.
Lakewood Park is a good place to visit ... Definitely chill spot ... Check out the Solstice Steps 😉Your Welcome!
Over my many years here in Cleveland, I have been lucky enough to take advantage of most of these attractions you should really show a little more love to all of the sports teams, the West side market, Little Italy, bees and drivability of our city compared to other major markets, high school sports, neighborhood barber shops, slyman's restaurant, polish boys and pierogies! 😋.
Oh yeah, I failed to mention two of the best hospital systems in the world! the ridiculous amount of home you can buy for $200,000 in this area as compared to anywhere else around the country! A limited amount of natural disasters, comparatively speaking with other major cities! Less than 1 hours drive from the world's greatest amusement park, Cedar Point! Less than a one tank trip to NYC, Toronto Canada, Niagara falls, OSU, Cincy, Motown, Indy, Pittsburgh! Truly, the best of all worlds right here in Cleveland!
What an AMAZING video 🥰♥️ most don’t realize the beauty Of Ohio! I’m. Always seeking to travel elsewhere... not this year..
Thanks so much! Hope you can enjoy a 'staycation' around Cleveland. - John
I live here. Learned new places and got a sweet to questions I've asked myself several times. Great vid. Thanks.
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching. - John
I lived in Cleveland's west side at 1451 W. 112th from 1965 to 1970. Previously I lived in Brookpark from 1959 to 1965 and spent most of my time in the farm lands and old forests in Middleburgh Hgts. I'm now living in the house I own in Canton, Ohio. I've been here since 1071.
This would be so cool
Beautifully showcased! Well done
I thought the same thing. This was presented in such a great way.
Lakeview Cemetery should be at #3 in my opinion! Go in the springtime to see all of the flowering trees. It's so peaceful. 😊
Don't forget the Museums !!
I've lived in Cleveland for 20 years before I moved to California, there are a couple more hang out trendy places, like The Flats, Ohio City, Tremont, Detroit-Shoreway etc, university heights, shaker heights, Beachwood area, westlake area, etc I had good memories in all these places :)
Cali, sheesh! That place won't last much longer, come back to the Buckeye State! lol
I actually missed that city lol I was looking for houses there, but looks like the housing has gone up a lot and the property tax has been up too!@@danoqamyasharahla6544
You forgot to mention the Cleveland National Air Show! ✈
This was an amazing video!!!! I love Cleveland!!!
Thanks so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I love Cleveland too. Let me what other Cleveland places you think should be mentioned. Enjoy your summer! - John
Another good restaurant with a deck is Shooters on the Water. It's about a five minute walk to Jacobs Pavilion.
Donnie Bible true ! He missed that one
May I add the city with the greatest hospital in the country. Cleveland Clinic. 👍🏻❤️
New to Cleveland, looking forward to all of these places! Great video!
Welcome to Cleveland! Glad you got some ideas from the video. Have fun and let me know if you have questions about the city. - John
Lock your doors, don't go out at night, stock up on ammo.
ComaAlpha lmaooo
Cleveland Ohio looks a great place.I am from Cleveland in North east England which is one of the smallest Counties in England.
Thank you very much. We hope you can visit some day! - John
@@clevelanddotcom I think that I might just do that. I have never been to the U.S.A. before and would love to visit and where better to start than to a City with the same name as my home. Thank you.
The great state of Ohio. I've traveled the world and ran across people from all walks of life. When I say I'm from Ohio, people be like "oh wow, I heard a lot about Ohio and the history it has".
I’m gonna try and go to Cleveland now. I live about an hour south of Detroit
Monroe ??? Or Adrian ???
Toledo OH actually
Sandy's ice cream on Lakeshore blvd.! Try the footlong chili dogs! The absolute bomb!
Thank you very much! That sounds good. - John
next time they make a video they need a survey they missed a ton
Great video !! born and raised in East Cleveland
You forgot about Ray's Indoor Mountain Bike Park.. that place was REALLY FUN when i went! i HIGHLY suggest it if you like biking!
Good call! Ray's made this video list here: czcams.com/video/zdMC-hT2BU4/video.html
Very good video, beautiful city, thanks from Pakistan( Punjab)
Moving back soon with my gf (she's from Florida) can't wait to show her all the great things that made my fall in love with the city
Welcome back! A few more suggestions when you do move back: czcams.com/play/PLPyb4fiSl8GsZOaXob7UcsnwEJCBv4U8A.html
Good stuff.
Peace of Lord Jesus upon you and yours
Don’t forget to go to the OG Malley’s Ice Cream Parlor in Lakewood & then go to The Solstice Steps at Lakewood Park and catch the sunset.
World class Art Museum and great gallery scene.
east custard was my childhood my grandparents took me there all the time
I’m back home here this week and will see about some of those activities because I will need to unwind.
I used to live by Edgewater beach and would walk or ride my bike there like every day
I have saved a number of these on my google maps. Thank you

Don't forget South Euclid!
Never been to Cleveland but I already know I like it.
If you like affordable food, Cleveland has many great iconic 'old school' diners and 'family restaurants' too!
CLE is a great food city!
@@catladytrucker7608 For sure! I was just at George's.... what an awesome and inexpensive place to eat! Been around for like 40 years too! Joe's is another cool place.
Thank you!!!
Well done.
You folks left out surfing at Edgewater park :)
Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad Dinner Train on Friday evenings combines fine dining with old time charm on a trip through some amazing scenery. Fabulous date night!
That's a great idea! Thank you very much for sharing. I hope to do a video about the CVSR experiences. - John
Nice, added a few things to my list! Thanks!
Live in Erie ! Travel to Cleveland all the time and will definitely do the Arboretum sometime.
Businesses that locate in Downtown Cleveland give themselves a leg up over their peers in recruiting top talent.
In a report published in conjunction with Cushman & Wakefield Real Estate and the George Washington University School of Business, Smart Growth America surveyed 500 business executives and concluded that talent recruitment and retention is a key consideration of businesses deciding to locate in a downtown. The Cleveland area ranks 8th in the United States, tied with Miami and Seattle, in the growth of college educated 25-34 year-olds. Downtown experienced a 136 percent increase in the number of residents who hold a four year or advanced degree between 2000 and 2014. Moreover, Downtown’s close proximity to multiple higher education facilities helps connect downtown businesses with top talent.
Read more about Downtown Cleveland in the reports below.
