Cleveland Ohio (September 2013)

My spouse and I visited Cleveland during the Labor Day weekend of September 2013. Our long weekend originated in Cleveland but ended in Pittsburgh, where we attended the home opener game for the University of Pittsburgh Panthers. On Saturday, we drove from Allentown to Cleveland, checked into the Doubletree, then walked around the town, had lunch near the casino, and dinner at Michael Symon's Lola Bistro, which we had looked forward to for some time. I had a "small world" experience when I ran into an ex-coworker outside the hotel in the evening. I had read her Facebook post that she was in town, but to find her at the same hotel was amazing!

On Sunday, we visited the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and then the Cleveland Art Museum, where we ate lunch in their museum restaurant, Provenance. For dinner, we planned to dine at Greenhouse Tavern, which we had heard so many good things about, but we had trouble getting served, and so we ended up eating at nearby Hodge's.

On Monday, we drove from Cleveland to Pittsburgh, where we watched the evening game.
