Entertainment & Activities
Playhouse Square is the largest theater district in the U.S. outside of Broadway (yes, it's really in Cleveland!) Excellent shows and we'd recommend checking out a Cleveland Play House or Great Lakes Theater show. Broadway shows also tour through Cleveland. Also, check out the largest outdoor chandelier in the world!

Everything can be found at the historic West Side Market, one of the oldest publicly owned markets in the U.S. I'd highly recommend lunch at the West Side Market Cafe or waiting in line for a crêpe (the wait is well worth it).
