Buck531 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 The wife and I are going up to Cleveland next weekend (Saturday/Sunday). We're going to be going to the Rock and Roll HOF one day. Not sure the next. Anything to do up there that's short in time (I dunno probably 1-2 hours. Any REALLY good place to eat up there by the HOF as well? (not $50 a plate but something decent and not a chain resturant). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Great Lakes Brewery, even if you don't get beer. Cool building. Also the West Side Market was fun to walk around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any REALLY good place to eat up there by the HOF as well? (not $50 a plate but something decent and not a chain resturant). West Side Market is good to walk around. There are a bunch of small bars around there too. Closest Melt is in Lakewood. Jump on the Shoreway going West and Lakewood is the next city. Melt is on Detroit Rd. Great sandwiches and they have a pretty good beer selection. It will probably take you about 15 minutes to get there from the R&Roll area. You could also drive over to W 6th st and visit the WareHouse District. There are a bunch of bars and restaurants in that area. The other places mentioned are kind of far away.

Flyin Miata Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 As already mentioned, Melt is good comfort food and reasonably priced (10-15 bucks per plate). If you can make it out toward Beachwood (20-30 minutes from downtown) there is an amazing sushi place called Pacific East (Chagrin Blvd) if you're into that. Also fairly reasonable on prices. There is also a latin fusion type place called Paladar, also in the Beachwood area that I would highly recommend. Again, between 15-25 per plate (most expensive thing seemed to be a 14 oz steak for about 27 bucks that was AMAZING), and they are known for having various types of guacamole as well. Also, their signature drink seems to be their Mojito but they have a rum bar as well. I would make reservations for both Paladar or Pacific East though. You might wait half hour to an hour for melt unless you go on a weekend night, in which case I've seen 3 hour waits before. Melt has a special sandwich this week called "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon". It has six different kinds of bacon, lettuce, tomato, cheddar, bacon infused mayo and an herb cream cheese with bacon bits. It was $17 since it was a limited offering but I can honestly say it was the best version of a BLT I've ever had.

zeitgeist57 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 I grew up in CLeveland, and now cover the market for business. I spend a lot of time downtown, Euclid Ave, E. 4th are nice...some great spots but not cheap. Eton Place in Beachwood (mentioned) also has a great Lebanese restaurant that had awesome noms. THE BEST RESTAURANT? Wild Mango. West side in the Great Lakes Mall. Holy shit it's delish. "Steak on a Stone" is good too, out on the westside as well.

M0nk3y Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Melt is always an awesome place to go to, be ready to get in a food coma afterwards. Typically you either want to go early and eat, or place an order for pick-up. It gets packed at every location quick and if you get there during prime time be ready for an hour+ wait. In actual downtown, Pickwick and Frolic is a really nice restaurant with awesome food. Their meatloaf is to die for. http://www.pickwickandfrolic.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck531 Posted February 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 We'll be staying in Independence Saturday night. Hopefully I won't get my car jacked or shot . So yeah the new Melt they opened there is .7 miles (2 minutes) from where the hotel is. Awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
