I got hooked on Playhouse Square this past summer when I went to see Wicked. From that great experience, I subscribed to the Broadway Series. There was a terrific line-up and the subscription was not too expensive. As an added bonus, the theaters (State, Palace, Allen) are all absolutely beautiful. It makes downtown Cleveland a great destination.

The best part of the Great Lakes Science Center is the interactive exhibits on the third floor. It allows kids (and grown up kids) to have science come alive for them. The OmniMax Theatre is great but not for the faint of heart (or stomach). We especially enjoyed the kids area that goes to the terrace overlooking Lake Erie. It's a beautiful view as well as something educational. Add to this its neighbors, the Cleveland Browns Stadium and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and it is a great destination.

I had the chance to eat here while downtown on business last week. The food was great. The beef carpaccio was very flavorful (if you're into raw meat) and the linguine with sausage and shrimp was terrific. Add a tiramisu for dessert and the whole experience was the tops. Service was a little less than perfect as our waiter allowed glasses to become empty but this was a minor distraction and the food more than made up for it.

Ron's Pizza remains a classic in Mount Vernon. I grew up with this stuff and it is incredible. The crust is very crispy and the sausage is not pellets from a bag but real pork sausage rolled into balls and is delicious. They have never (to my knowledge) had delivery but they are still very busy, especially on the weekend. It is awesome pizza.

Even though the Columbus Zoo is closer for us, we chose to be members of the Cleveland Zoo. The rain forest is worth the drive by itself. Add to this the free parking and great seasonal exhibits and it is a great place for a day with the family. Also, reciprocating memberships at the Akron and Toledo zoos, as well as half-price admission in Columbus, makes this zoo a great bargain.

Sips is the classic downtown Mount Vernon shop. The have great coffee and speciality drinks, as well as deli sandwiches and a limited menu. The best thing to do at Sips is to get a cup of dark roast coffee and watch the foot traffic on Main Street.
