Our aquarium.
It's not the greatest, or the biggest. But, they have one of (possibly THE only) the only breeding programs for weedy sea dragons in the US.
Go to another aquarium and see a weedy sea dragon? Extremely high chances it came from here.

Pizza. The pizza in Cleveland is by far the best I've ever had, and that's not just a biased point of view.
There are a lot of places in the greater Cleveland area that offer really crap pizza, but the joints downtown, do it better than NYC, Chicagoland and LA.
What is New York pizza? It's basically a cardboard slab with melted cheese.
What is Chicago pizza? It's a fucking casserole.
What is LA pizza? It's a lot of things, it being food is questionable.
Cleveland pizza is subtle, and delicious. Truly home grown by our Italian and Balkan immigrants. Just outside of the Browns, I'd sooner die on this hill, of our pizza supremacy.

CVNP is underrated for sure. It’s free (which is rare for a NP), has a train for those who aren’t inclined for walking a lot, and hiking trails for those who are. Plus, going at different times of year provides a new perspective on different areas..
