Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.....Been There?

[Lawdwaz]

Thinking of hitting the RR Hall of Fame.  Any suggestions on places to stay, eat etc?  I may visit an ailing friend in the area and plan on hitting the Deluth Trading store in Avon Ohio. 

Anything else I should see hunting related??  Hotel on the water??

Thoughts??

We’re going in a few weeks. 

Double tree hotel is 8 minute walk to Rock n roll HOF.  Make sure you look at the correct Double tree as there’s a few in Cleveland.  

Christmas story house nearby. Huge market so cooler going with.  Winking lizard , Greenhouse tavern , Little Johnny’s all have been suggested to eat. 

Reminds me , gotta make a PA run for out of state permit as my Utah lost PA recently. Still gets me Ohio though.

Little johnys bar for a burger is my only suggestion I have , it's almost right across the street from the hall of fame . I believe you can see it from there .

My wife and I took an uber to that market . Lots of good stuff there from fresh fish to fruits and veggies, tons of dessert food ,beef jerky . Right across the street from that within walking distance is great lake brewery I believe it was. We had lunch there and it was good. Uber is your friend ,everything is relatively in the same area so it doesn't cost much to travel between destinations and not have to worry about getting lost.

I remember seeing that place on the food network and it looked amazing

Dont forget casino is walkable as well, some great parks to walk thru on way to tower city, the civil war park is impressive you may want to see it before it offends someone and they have to remove it.. also have the lake freighter to tour, and lollie the trellis is worth taking for a quick tour of entire city, base ball Is going and you can get cheap seats for a few bucks if you care to take in a game while your there..

I was there a few weeks ago . We went to the Southern Tier Brewing Co for dinner and got one of the best meals we have had out in years . Pretty good beer as well

I’d go there to eat from all the food reviews I’ve read. But I’ve never liked one beer of theirs , hard to believe I know

This is awesome, I didn't even know  Southern Tier Brewing was in Cleveland. I usually hang in Down Town Willoughby, on the eastside. clean, safe , nice places to eat, drink, close to home. You could check out Chagrin Falls, your wives will like it, your wallets won't

Blue Point Restaurant for dinner.   Close by...   One of my favorite places to eat in the country...

WTF man?  I'm almost 58 years old.  HMU? 216?

The Rosetta Stone tapes are on the way.  I hope learning "Greek" will make it easier to understand lingo like the above............

Only used Uber a couple times and wouldn't think of it since we'll be driving there but maybe it's a better idea???  I can see that it might be.......

The couple times my wife and i do a little weekend get away to a city we use uber , it takes so much stress out of the situation for like 5 to 10 bucks which you end up spending to park anyway.

Stay out of that mall !! The homeless out number the shoppers and they are not afraid to ask for a hand out.

I hope you have better luck at that Double Tree than we did . Nice place but it was party central at night.   We moved rooms at midnight because of a ongoing fight in the next room , only to deal with the same thing at 4AM on another floor. Didn't get much sleep and made for a long ride home.

Sure hope you got your money + back.

Yes get the Uber app. We use it when we go to,Pittsburgh each year, when the Cards are playing . Super easy and fairly cheap .

One time we were staying at the Kimpton Monaco, pretty expensive joint  .( https://www.monaco-pittsburgh.com/?&utm_source=Google My Business&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=GMB&utm_term=monaco pittsburgh)  We we’re outside waiting for our Uber, when a jacked up, blacked out pick up with gun and hunting stickers all over it pulled up, the Kimptons doormen were confused as to what was going on, when one says “ that’s somebody’s Uber ! “ 

We happily stepped forward and got in , an oil field worker, who drives Uber on the side , we hit it off quite well....
