Cleveland

There’s more to Cleveland than corned beef and rock ‘n’ roll. This ruggedly handsome city on a “crooked river” and a Great Lake boasts a thriving arts scene, buoyed by mainstays like PlayhouseSquare, Severance Hall and the Cleveland Museum of Art. It isn’t a fluke that the Rock Hall landed in C-Town – this town is jammed tighter than a minivan with killer live-music venues. Home to Iron Chefs and “slow food” gurus, the North Coast’s dining scene is one of the best between Chicago and New York. And when it’s time to play, locals enjoy sandy beaches, bountiful parkland, and three pro sports teams. But perhaps the best assets of this old Midwestern burg are its captivating neighborhoods and the people who call them home.

Cleveland-based stand-up comic Chris Hegedus loves his hometown so much, he had the Terminal Tower tattooed on his arm. He clues us in to the best places to have a laugh, a beer and, er, a lap dance
