Discover Downtown Cleveland
Cleveland is all about sports, rock 'n' roll and food. This gritty, hard-working river town is home to the Indians, the Cavaliers and the Polish Boy. What's a Polish Boy, you ask? It's a messy yet deliciously satisfying combination of kielbasa, french fries, coleslaw and barbecue sauce. This dish is perfect for enjoying before a game or a night of entertainment in the Flats. While you're catching a game, don't forget to ask for Bertman's Original Ball Park Mustard. It's the hometown favorite. No trip to Believeland would be complete without the Cleveland take on the Cassata where chefs swap out ricotta for custard and candied fruit for strawberry filling. With unique local creations, diverse ethnic offerings and modern twists on classic favorites, Cleveland belongs on any foodie's radar.
