It's been a long time since Cleveland has been referred to as "The mistake by the lake," and for good reason. This beautiful cosmopolitan city is inviting and American as you can get. Excellent restaurants, beautiful architecture, arts, sports, recreation and one of the best hospitals in the world make Cleveland a city worth spending time in.

THE WATERMARK
1250 Old River Road (east bank of the Cuyahoga River in the Flats) - Cleveland - 216-241-1600

In a word-Excellent. This is by far the best seafood restaurant in Cleveland. Probably in all of Ohio! The decor, the food and the service are exquisite, probably the most comfortable upscale restaurant that I have ever eaten at. Try the Sunday brunch or Friday night seafood buffet. If you like martinis, you have a menu with 15 selections to choose from. Also, besides the seafood, they have great beef, chicken and pasta dishes. Add to that an unusual appetizer selection and a fine wine list, you have the makings for a rather enjoyable culinary experience.

SIGHTS
ROCK & ROLL HALL of FAME AND MUSEUM
One Key Plaza - Cleveland

In 1983, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation was established by members of the music industry to honor and recognize the artists, composers, producers and others who helped make rock and roll the most popular and influential art form of our time. Housed in a striking glass and white panel building situated on Lake Erie, it rises seven dramatic stories above the lake. Open from 10 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. daily (open until 9 p.m. on Wednesdays).

THE FLATS
?

The Flats were once the sweat-soaked hub of industrial Cleveland -- equal parts water front shipping depot, railroad station, factory hell, and warehousing stop on the wide road of commerce. Back then, Flats entertainment meant throwing back shots of Cutty Sark and chasing them with Pride of Cleveland beer in some tiny punch-palace of a bar that was woefully short on decor, but long on colorful, or even dangerous, characters. Over the years, this strip of real estate lining the East and West banks of the Cuyahoga River has emerged as a massive entertainment complex for boaters, weekend warriors and tourists alike. A few tiny taverns have evolved into an array of eating and drinking establishments: Waterfront restaurants. Underground music clubs. Furious dance bars. Drinking holes catering to the creative and the crazy.
