Anyone live in Cleveland?

I realize I do this all the time, and I hope it's useful for other people too. This time, I'm almost positive I'll be living in Cleveland for a year. If there's any unobvious must see places, please tell me.

How easy is it to go to Brown's games? I'd imagine it's not too hard right?

Cleveland...*shudder*

What kind of places are you looking for? Clubs? Shopping? Restaurant? General tourist attractions?

I enjoyed my stay in Cleveland. The weather, however, leaves much to be desired.

mostly good places to eat and to go at night.

CIM? With whom will you be studying?

Russell/Kantor.

I spent a year in Cleveland one weekend....

Isn't Cleveland the Mistake on the Lake? I suppose there's the R'nR Hall of Fame...

The Flats and the warehouse district have the typical clubs and typical restaurants. Check out some of the restaurants away from downtown like in Chagrin Falls.

^^^ +1 and if you can swing it, head out to Put-In-Bay on a boat.

Ah, Put-in-Bay, where one goes to get drunk, very drunk, and rowdy!

Moxie, in Beachwood on the East Side, is superb. XO has also been well recommended to me.

My best friend is moving to Cleveland in a few weeks for a few years. Hes doing internal medicine residency at Cleveland Clinic..

Perhaps there is a Drew Carey/Trent Reznor tour.

Moxie is alright, as far as I'm concerned. It's the typical "trendy" restaurant that, instead of being located in the hot spots such as the flats around 13th street, is instead in the suburbs.

A little up the street is a sea food place called Charlie's Crab, it's not bad either. Also.

I also highly recommend the Gamekeeper in Chagrin Falls.

I have been living in Cleveland for a few years now, and know the city very well.

Avoid the Flats at all costs. I'd avoid the Warehouse district now too, especially on Fridays when there is a large hip hop crowd down there. The professional/upscale location has been E. 4th now for a while, but it's not exclusive by any means any more. I'd also recommend Coventry area, a mix of different types of people, but a safe area with plenty of good looking people.

Skip the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, it's a bunch of crap. As far as entertainment goes, all I can really recommend are sporting events. For the best deals: Indians tickets off the street partially in to the first inning, Cavs tickets off the Cav's website "Flash Marketplace" an hour or two before tip off--- and for Brown's tickets you can usually do well in one of the parking lots before the game.

Clothes--- not much out here, Kilgour Trout, Brigade and Beachwood Mall (Saks, Nordstroms, Lacoste, etc.)

Restaurants-- I'll just list some that you won't hear everyone babbling about, Pacific East on Coventry (Cleveland's best sushi and udon noodles), Lemongrass (amazing Thai, Cleveland Heights), Hunans on Coventry (amazing 'upscale' chinese) and CK Restaurant in China Town for Dim Sum.

If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them. Cleveland is sort of a unique city, so it might take getting some getting used to.
