100 Things To Do In Cleveland Before You Die, 2nd Edition Book Review

I LOVE everything about Cleveland! The history, the sports, the weather … well, maybe not that last one.

I’m in downtown Cleveland almost weekly attending events, meetings, or just exploring the city with my family. While I was born and raised in a suburb of Cleveland, I know that there are still many hidden gems that I’ve never visited. When my friend, Tonya Prater, co-author of the book 100 Things To Do In Cleveland Before You Die, 2nd Edition, sent me a copy of her NEW book, I couldn’t wait to see what was inside. After reading it, I discovered that she and her co-author, Deb Thomas spent a lot of time finding a treasure trove of places to see in and around the Cleveland area.

100 Things To Do In Cleveland Before You Die, 2nd Edition is the ultimate guide to finding the best things in the city and, for life-long residents, new ways to explore old favorites. It has information to help you find the best food, festivals, museums, outdoor activities, and more.

What I love most about this book is that it’s a easy read. The book is divided into 100 mini chapters highlighting a different place or event on every page. As a busy mom, who doesn’t get to dive into books as much as I would like, this is perfect for a few quick reading sessions.

Looking for unique places to visit in Cleveland? You’ll find it in here! Did you know where you can purchase a hot dog with chunky peanut butter on it? You’ll find it in the book! Want a list of the unique festivals that happen throughout the year? Yea, it’s in there too! I love that it offers so many places that Cleveland residents may not have tried out as well as highlighting the top places to visit for Cleveland visitors.

If you love to shop, be sure to read the fashion section. You’ll enjoy reading about all that Cleveland has to offer. Want to find places that the whole family will love? The sports and recreation is full of places to visit and what to see at each destination. Don’t skip the index which has suggested itineraries and activities by the season.

Seriously, I’m keeping this book in my car so next time we are in town, we’ll be able to explore with purpose. If you don’t live in the Cleveland area, 100 Things To Do In Cleveland Before You Die, 2nd Edition will have you wanting to pack your bags!

100 Things To Do In Cleveland Before You Die, 2nd Edition is available on amazon and wherever books are sold.

Champagne dreams, flapper dresses, and a night for Champagne dreams, flapper dresses, and a night for Broadway in Cleveland? Count me in! ✨🥂  Last night we stepped back into the Roaring Twenties for media night at @bwaygatsby at @playhousesquare!  My sister and I snagged our 1920s-inspired outfits and made a whole evening of it. We started with happy hour at @encorepsq, the stylish bar right across the street from Playhouse Square, which had the perfect swanky Gatsby vibes. I love their happy hours specials too! Then we grabbed a quick dinner at Sushi En before heading into the theater.  And wow... this show is BIG Broadway. Think stunning costumes, gorgeous sets, incredible choreography, and all the glitz and glamour you'd expect from Gatsby. The production is visually spectacular and brings the lavish world of Jay Gatsby to life in a way that feels larger than life. If you love classic stories, dazzling performances, and a little Jazz Age sparkle, add this one to your summer theater list. ✨🎭  The Great Gatsby is playing at Playhouse Square through June 28 as part of the KeyBank Broadway Series. Tickets are currently still available and can be purchased by calling 216-241-6000 or online at playhousesquare.org.  Who else loves a themed night out? 🍾  #thegreatgatsby #BroadwayCleveland #BWYCLE #BwayGatsbyTour
🎭 Did you know you can take a FREE behind-the-scen 🎭 Did you know you can take a FREE behind-the-scenes tour of @playhousesquare? 🎭 Everyone needs to add this to their Cleveland bucket list!  Free public tours of Playhouse Square are offered on the third Saturday of every month, and they're packed with fascinating history, hidden details, and stories you probably never knew. You'll learn how this incredible theater district went from nearly being demolished in the 1970s to becoming the largest theater restoration project in the world.  Did you know that Playhouse Square is the second-largest performing arts district in the United States, behind only Broadway in New York City, with 12 performance venues throughout the district?  One of my favorite parts was getting to see everything up close and in detail without the usual crowds. From the stunning architecture to the behind-the-scenes stories, there were so many things I've walked past for years without realizing their significance.  If you've ever attended a show, or even if you haven't, I highly recommend taking this tour. It's a whole new way to experience one of Cleveland's most iconic treasures. ❤️  Have you ever taken a Playhouse Square tour? Be sure to tell a friend! 🎟️👇  #PlayhouseSquare #ClevelandOhio #thisiscleveland #CLE #clevelandevents
Another Put-In-Bay giveaway coming soon! ☀️ Summe Another Put-In-Bay giveaway coming soon!  ☀️ Summer is officially here, and what better way to celebrate than a girls' day at Put-in-Bay! 🚢💙  We hopped aboard the @millerboatline for a scenic ride to the island and rented golf carts from @esputinbay to explore all the fun spots around the @visitputinbay island. Did you know you can save money when you book them together? Check out the E's Golf Cart & Miller Ferry Put-in-Bay Discount Package when you reserve at least one day in advance!  One of the reasons we love Miller Ferry is that it's the most affordable way to get to the island, and it's the only ferry that lets you bring your car. Plus, E's Golf Carts is conveniently located just around the corner from the Miller Ferry drop-off.  The weather was absolutely gorgeous! We spent the day shopping, cruising around the island by golf cart, enjoying lunch at The Keys, relaxing at the little beach on the tip of the island, and taking a short hike to soak in the views.  Put-in-Bay is such a fun destination for both groups and families. If you're bringing kids, be sure to check out the highly rated caves on the islands, play a round of putt-putt, visit the Lake Erie Islands Nature & Wildlife Center, and stop by the Butterfly House for a colorful, family-friendly experience. (I usually just avoid the downtown area on weekend evenings if I'm visiting with kids.)  Who's ready for an island day trip?  #putinbay #MillerFerry #GirlsTrip #OhioAdventures #LakeErieIslands
🦖 My niece, brother, and I had a ROARing good time 🦖 My niece, brother, and I had a ROARing good time at  @gocmnh on Sunday for DINO DAY! 🦕✨  A big thank you to @realgoodfoods for inviting us to this fun family event! We explored the museum, checked out life-sized dinosaurs, enjoyed hands-on activities, crafts, face painting, and interactive exhibits throughout the day. They even gave away COUPONS!!  Of course, one of the highlights was sampling Realgood Foods' dino chicken nuggets! I personally eat Realgood chicken - there is always a bag in my freezer. It is high protein and low carb! I eat a lot of chicken and I'm picky with my brands, but I enjoy this treat when I need something fast and tasty!  It was such a fun day filled with dinosaurs, learning, and making memories together. 🦖❤️
