They're all owned by passionate, cool locals who believe in what they do. But mostly, this update is just to show appreciation for a few things I often forget about Hingetown- how dog-friendly every business is, the beautifully manicured living wall, and the fact that the Transformer Station (a satellite CMA location) even exists here. I mean, where else can you pet tons of good doggos, see world class art and grab lunch? Since the last time I wrote this, new businesses like Larder Delicatessen, Saucy Brew Works and Title Kickboxing have opened. I can tell the people behind Hingetown are really trying to continuously add and improve. Still 5-stars in 2018!

There are a couple cool businesses here. I go to some of them. I don't like calling it Hingetown…read more It never used to be called Hingetown until about a year ago. It feels unnatural for me to call it that. I guess that is how the Native Americans felt when they turned this land into the United States of America. This area was once Cleveland's Gaytown. It was anchored by Bounce. Other notable establishments were the Tool Shed and Man's World.

This is a very difficult review to write. I am torn between two extremes…read more On the one hand, Little Italy is the one location in Cleveland I have loved my entire life. I still have fond memories of my dad and I going to the feast when I was just a little boy. I have frequented every establishment in Little Italy and LOVE them all. On the other hand, maneuvering through the traffic, finding parking, or using the valet service has become absolutely intolerable. Even the police officer directing traffic didn't help. After trying to find a way to park for nearly 20 minutes we finally had to call the restaurant and cancel our reservation after explaining we could not park. I don't know how to fix this nightmare, but until they do I believe dinner is out. We'll have to settle for lunches... and keep our fingers crossed.

Fortunately, the ground was warm enough that it wasn't sticking too much. This made driving quite manageable, and I had no issues. From the stately church on Mayfield Street to the well-worn buildings with character carved in entry ways and window facings, you will enjoy the opportunity to drive or take a stroll through the area and just drink in the ambience of what is Cleveland's little Italy Moreover, if you have the opportunity to stop and take some time, there are great restaurants and fantastic stores to experience, including the flower shops and the mom and pop eateries and stores that line the streets and make the area so endearing. I will be back with my family when I have the opportunity to bring them with me. For now, I enjoyed it tonight alone as much as one can do when traveling for medical reasons and also work. This area is adjacent to the Cleveland Clinic campus downtown on Euclid Street - Which I would add is one of, if not the best healthcare locales in the world, as far as I'm concerned. I'm very grateful for that too.

If you read my review of the Voinovich Bicentennial Park then you can see all photos.

I'll be back for sure :) **** GOAL of 365 reviews in 2025 - 11/365 total reviews in 2025 - 792 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 1 January 2025

Hellooooooo Cleveland. This iconic Cleveland script sign is one of a few located throughout the…read morecity. This one in particular is by the North Coast Harbor, walking distance from the Brown Stadium and the Museum of Rock. Also plenty of free street parking in the area. My friend and I had a lot of fun with this Cleveland sign! I little spooned the sign, I koala-ed the sign, I barre moved the sign. So many opportunities for interaction and posings. We basically had a mini photo shoot here. Highly recommended if you are visiting Cleveland. I'll be honest I'm only here cause my friend is here for work, but while in town I'll try to make the most of it. This sign is a easy fun and free experience.

Great museum, the interactive exhibits are amazing. I really enjoyed the evolution rooms…read more Definitely geared towards the kiddos, they seemed to be having a blast. Cafe is also definitely geared more towards the kids tastes compared to other museum cafes in the area, which makes sense. Lots of chicken tenders, grilled cheese, burgers, etc. Some of the animals outside did seem kind of anxious, which made me feel a little sad for them. Lots of pacing. However I think it may be because it was their feeding time.

I've been to my fair share of natural history museums, and while this one is compact, it is very modern and packs a punch! When you enter, you're immediately greeted by a giant dinosaur and that set the tone for the whole visit, I felt like I kept seeing dinosaur bones everywhere! It took me a moment to orient myself to the museum layout, but looking back it's pretty compact and I could've easily wandered and enjoyed most of the museum in a couple hours. I especially enjoyed how interactive the earth section was, and this is silly but sit on those rock-looking cushions - they are SO comfortable! The little planetarium area was also very cool, and I would consider seeing a show in there next time! The dioramas are by far the most beautiful/engaging I've seen, and with between the fish video cave and the outdoor animal area, I felt like I also got a mini trip to the aquarium and the zoo. Overall I had an amazing time and this spot is super baby/toddler friendly! Note: If you have ASTC membership, admission is included! As a non museum member, I'd recommend street parking. It's much cheaper than the flat rate garage fare.

GORDON SQUARE is a super cool arts district with lots to do and see. This is a very walkable…read moreneighbourhood with bus stops as well. There are still some shops that I want to visit. FOOD -- Blue Habanero and Spice Kitchen are by far my favourite places to eat in this district. Blue Habanero is a taco restaurant that I love. Although their tacos are smaller than the ones at Barrio, the taco dinners (3 tacos) come with two sides which in the end make the whole meal worthwhile. They also have lunch option. Spice Kitchen is another local restaurant that has tasty food. It is an American restaurant with a farm to table concept. So you'll find fresh ingredients sourced from their own farm. I recommend that you try their specials when you visit. It is a further down the street from the Gordon Square district but it is not too far. Astoria Cafe & Market and Boiler 65 are other food options that I want to visit. THEATRE/MOVIES -- The Cleveland Public Theatre, Capitol Theatre, and Near West Theatre are still 3 theatres that I have to visit. If you love the arts then you should come and catch a show at one or all of these theatres. TEA/COFFEE -- Relax over at Gypsy Beans and Baking Company cafe. They sell tea, coffee, pastries, and have a full service menu for lunch. SWEET TREATS with DRINKS -- 1) DONUTS - I don't drink alcohol but Brewnuts is a popular spot amongst the locals or at least the tourists. They sell alcohol and donuts. Their donuts are thicker and more doughy than I would prefer but they are unique because beer is an ingredient added into their donut mixture. 2) ICE CREAM - Sweet Moses Soda Fountain and Treat Shop is a heaven. VEGAN / SMOOTHIES -- The Daily Press is a vegan cafe that I recently visited in June 2019. They sell juices, sandwiches, and even body soaps. The shop is very small but they have some tables and chairs to sit on. Enjoy your visit to the Gordon Square Arts District.

Located on West 25th Street, you're probably already walking on this block and nearby ready to explore. This mural went up around 2015 on the side of some of Cleveland's favorite nightlife businesses on the main drag of West 25th. I believe it was put up by local area nonprofit Graffiti HeArt. It's super bright, uplifting, and an instant joy to take photos with. If you come at an off-time (avoid happy hour or other traditionally busy nightlife establishment rushes) you'll have no problem getting a free street spot with parallel parking. Enjoy!

Located outside of Cleveland's iconic Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Long Live Rock Sign should be…read morea stop if you're a tourist on a tour of photogenic Cleveland spots. It spans across most of the plaza and sits directly in front of the museum with ambient views of Lake Erie in the distance. If you can't tell from the photos, this sign is large. Meaning it's a great photo opportunity for groups, weddings, or general art projects. It's big enough that you can lay across it at-scale. Try to go at an "off" time and you should get it (mostly) to yourself. Be advised this is a hot tourist spot so it can be hard to get it *completely* to yourself. As for parking, there's a limited amount of street spots surrounding East 9th and the accompanying streets. Make sure you bring quarters for the meters! There's even a handful of accessible spots for people with disabilities that are usually open. Don't let parking deter you from stopping by and seeing this Cleveland landmark and fun sign!

Although it can be if you want it to be. This is the love sign that is famous and amazing, legendary and part of the true tourist experience, in Cleveland. It's become something of a tourist hotspot in the Yelp era specifically, and that's one of the reasons I really love it. The Cleveland love sign it's one of my favorite things about Cleveland and it's not just about tourist stuff. It's pretty amazing on every level. Barbie looks amazing here but then again she looks amazing everywhere. There are lots of great little spots like this in Cleveland, and they've done a good job putting them all over the city, which makes the city more visible and photographable to. I come over to this part of town whenever I get the chance, and Barbie of course looks especially spectacular when she is in these parts. It's freezing for many months a year here though, next to the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame, right by the choppy, icy waters of Lake Erie, unshielded from the brutal Great Lakes winds. It's one of the most memorable spots in Cleveland and I'm sure we'll keep coming back to it in future. Anyway - what's your sign?
