“Fall In Love With Cleveland” during the fall there is a lot of things to do. Take a stroll in University Circle noted as one of “America’s Prettiest Neighborhoods” ranked by Forbes Magazine.University Circle is known for renowned museums, a prestigious university, nationally recognized hospitals, delicious restaurants, beautiful parks, and cozy spaces to stroll. There are several hotels nearby for lodging, but if you’re looking for something a little more romantic checkout one the bed and breakfast just walking distance from all the action. Wade Lagoon is one of my favorite parks to visit in this area I always prepare a small picnic basket and a blanket. I love sitting close by the duck pond with a view of the Art Museum.
Just a fifteen-minute drive from University Circle is the heart of the city downtown Cleveland. During the fall I love to cruise aboard the Nautica Queen for the Sunday Brunch Buffet. Celebrating a special event or just want an enjoyable time away from home I recommend the brunch cruise. Sip on a delicious Mimosa’s while enjoying food items from the buffet.
The Sunday Buffet Menu includes:
Chef’s Choice of Carving
French Toast or Waffles
Breast of Chicken du Jour
Fluffy Scrambled Eggs
Pasta du Jour
Home Fried Potatoes
Mixed Greens with Dressing
Blintzes with Fruit Toppings
Grilled Bacon, Sausage or Ham
Fresh Fruit Compote
Side Salads
Dessert
Assorted Sweet Rolls,
Danishes
Croissants with Butter & Jam
Choice of Coffee, Tea or Iced Tea

The East Bank of the Flats is one the hottest spots in the city swing by Punch Bowl Social and bowl the night away. Grab the mic and sing a little Karaoke before you play a round of pool the table or arcade games. Feel free to order from the bar and wash your meal down with a craft beer or cocktail. The Li’l Street Tacos was banging they did not disappoint.

The Bourbon Street Barrel Room in Tremont offers a relaxed, casual, eclectic atmosphere. Serving up inspired authentic New Orleans style cuisine by Southern Louisiana native, Johnny Schulze. Chef Johnny’s Creole classics such gumbo, jambalaya, crawfish etouffee, and my favorites beignets, but that’s not all.

I love being home when the Cavs, Indians, or Lake Erie Monsters have a home game. If you’re in town or even a local that has never attended a game you are missing out on the fun. Check the team schedule and get your tickets today.
