Depending on your age, you might have first been exposed to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/Things-To-Do-In-Cleveland.d178250.Travel-Guide-Activities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cleveland<\/a> by Drew Carry through his 90s sitcom. If a sports follower, then you probably know about the loyal fans who support their teams<em> no matter what<\/em>. If you are a history buff then you&#8217;ve heard about the Cuyahoga River, once, though no longer, known as the most polluted river in the United States, which lead to it catching on fire no less than 13 times.<\/p>\n<p>But as a new visitor to the area, I wanted to see what more the city had to offer besides outdated highlights and how far it has come since.<\/p>\n<p>The following are just a few ways in which first-time travelers such as myself can connect with the city and walk away feeling endeared to it as well.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_52103\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-52103\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-52103 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/0550160E-8AEC-446A-B482-5F844B37F3B1-e1563488971284.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-52103\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cleveland was so much more than I expected<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Explore the neighborhoods &#8211; they are all so different and great!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As a New York City native, I appreciate any pedestrian-friendly city. Though some areas required me to rideshare\u2014a service that is easily accessible in Cleveland with some of the friendliest drivers anywhere\u2014once I arrived into a neighborhood walking around it was easy and pleasant.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_52109\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-52109\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-52109\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/1692A00A-C4D2-44DD-BBF9-6990E6033312-2-e1563485266772.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-52109\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">There are tons of great neighborhoods to explore and walk around in<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Some of my favorites were Little Italy which has all the wonderful things one would expect in addition to art walks in the Murray Hill area every first weekend of June, October, and December.<\/p>\n<p>The Detroit Shoreway and the Gordon Arts District are home to the Cleveland Public Theater and the Capitol Theater, but most importantly to the Superelectric Pinball Parlor, a walk back in time to the peak days of arcades.<\/p>\n<p>The waterfront neighborhood of The Flats, with bars and eateries and stunning views of the river, is also a great place to rent a kayak from and take in all the beauty from the water.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brunch with a taste of Paris, and other good eats<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another neighborhood where you might find yourself spending a lot of time in is Ohio City. It will take any visitor wanting to explore a few days to see it all. But I suggest starting with brunch at <a href=\"http:\/\/lepetittriangle.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Le Petit Triangle<\/a> and ordering one of their freshly made croissants and cafe Au lait. Of course, their Croque Madame is pretty yummy too! Get there early as the line can get long, and if it&#8217;s a nice day, take a seat outside and people watch.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-52130\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Le-Petit-Triangle-Cafe_1-small.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"512\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After a hearty brunch, treat yourself to a walk through the neighborhood and take in all the cute houses and tree-lined streets around. This walk comes with its rewards because it can lead you right to the doorsteps of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brewnutscleveland.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brewnuts<\/a>, which are hand-made donuts with all-natural ingredients and a touch of local craft brews.

What is especially inspiring about this particular brewery, however, is how it was the first to give the neighborhood it is in a chance to even try to succeed when others had given up. After decades of hard work and commitment, Ohio City is one of the most coveted and popular neighborhoods in the Cleveland area, thanks in part to the perseverance of the GLB owners. They have a great selection of beers, with a must-try being their Burning River Pale Ale, named in memory of the Cuyahoga River fires.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_52111\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-52111\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-52111 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/8A4A65F6-6FB6-4BBB-818C-0953AEA2CF96-e1563484881959.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-52111\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Try the beer sampler at Great Lakes Brewing!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Where to stay<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you want to be in the center of it all, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/Cleveland-Hotels-Hilton-Cleveland-Downtown.h13304695.Hotel-Information\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hilton Cleveland Downtown<\/a> is a perfect spot offering an opportunity to walk to a lot of the cool spots, like The Flats neighborhood and the Rock and Wall Hall of Fame as well as to plenty of restaurants and bars in the area &#8211; although their rooftop Bar 32 has some of the most stunning views of the city and Lake Erie.<\/p>\n<p>For a more luxurious experience, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/Cleveland-Hotels-Metropolitan-At-The-9.h8329138.Hotel-Information\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Metropolitan at The 9<\/a>, a favorite of the rich and famous.

That fire served as a wake-up call to the residents of Cleveland and pushed for change not only in the local industry but also on the federal level. It forced Congress to focus on land pollution. 7 months after the fire, in January of 1970, the National Environment Policy Act (NEPA) was signed into law. This helped establish the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the first legislation of which was the Clean Water Act of 1972. Today the river is not only celebrated for its impact on environmentalism but also for the progress it has made and all it has to offer its local community.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_52115\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-52115\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-52115 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/4D0EAD06-0B95-480B-BD5D-09B8397D1910-e1563485652830.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-52115\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">View of the Cuyahoga River at night<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>These are just starting points for a wonderful time in Cleveland.
