Museum of Art
Located directly in University Circle,
this is one of the finest museums in the country and is
an invaluable resource to the school.

and Roll Hall of Fame and Musuem
This state of the art musuem, designed by world-famous
architect, I. M. Pei, is a gorgeous addition to the
lakefront. Go down and spend the whole day!!

In the continuing development of Cleveland's waterfront,
this new exhibit is going to provide excitement and

Events
Cleveland Grand Prix
Cleveland has hosted this race for 15 years and it gets
better every year. If you're a race fan, it's a must-see
event!!!
CVS
5K and Marathon
This is a great race which brings runners from around
the world, while it isn't Boston or New York--we did
have a WORLD RECORD set for the 5K here.
Music
Concerts
Don't forget this is the Rock and Roll capital--Just
take a look at the list
of current shows coming to Cleveland!!!
Rib
Cook-Off
Don't eat for a week and come on down to this annual
event held every Memorial day weekend. Restaurants from
around the world arrive to show off their special sauces
for good old BBQ'd pig and beef.
Cleveland
Air-Show
Since the planes will probably wake you up in your dorm
room this weekend, you might as well go down to Burke
Lakefront Airport and view the cavalcade of old fighters
and planes on display. The big finale is usually a show
of aerial stunts by the world famous Blue Angels!!!
Sports
Major
League Baseball: Cleveland Indians
The most exciting team in baseball, playing in one of
the best stadiums, and from one of the best towns!
National
League Football: Cleveland Browns
They were here for over sixty years, and now they are
back after a three year hiatus with a new owner, new
stadium and the same great Cleveland fans!!
National Basketball
Association: Cleveland Cavaliers
Always a force in the tough Central Division, playing
right downtown in Gund Arena.
Nightlife
The Flats
This is Cleveland's largest tourist attraction!! Located
right downtown on the river, this three mile stretch
of restaurants, bars, nightclubs, and comedy clubs is
always Cleveland's hottest spot.
Microbreweries
Cleveland has a storied past of being the city with
the most bars per capita; and, with the recent rise
in popularity of "micro-brewed" beers, Cleveland
is still a leader. With the Award-Winning Great Lakes
Brewery and the Crooked River Brewery, Cleveland's beer
holds its own against any city's!!
Coffee
Houses
Since it seems everybody on TV (and real life), like
FRIENDS and FRASIER, are ordering up "double decaf
lattes" and "triple moccachinos with cinnamon",
Cleveland has not fallen behind the times. There are
coffee houses everywhere, led by the Cleveland fave,
Arabica. They even have a shoppe on campus, so your
caffine fix can always be handled!!
Amusement
Parks
If you like the excitement of amusement parks, then
Cleveland has two of the best. From the rides and coasters
at Cedar Point
to the rides and SeaWorld at Geauga Lake, you will find
enough excitement to last you all year.
Cinema
Due to some prominent CWRU alums, Cleveland has emerged
as the leading cinema hotbed between New York and Chicago.
Along with basic Hollywood releases, Cleveland features
an excellent menu of alternative film choices to broaden
your mind, culminating with the Cleveland International
Film Festival every year in March. |
