▪︎ Santa isn't the only one visiting USA this Christmas, so I've a few more questions.

If you haven't already, get in contact with these folks.... BTW, the R & Roll HOF is well worth visiting...
I hope to send Houston Browns an E-mail about the pre match booze up this weekend, it'll be good to meet up with like minded souls. Thanks for the Links.

ONE thing that I have always been a firm believed in about travel ..... both in business and especially on vacations you generally learn what you want to see, do, experience on your SECOND vacation from your first trip. Like when Larry (hoorta) mentioned Cleveland's own R&R HOF good idea and right there.
◆ Also don't overlook the big daddy in Hall of Fames the NFL HOF right down the road in Canton, Ohio. Maybe next trip ?
◆ You can't do it all in one trip due to vacation time, number of places to go, and of course the $$$$ restrictions. Maybe working on a vacation 2 trip somewhere ?
I've done some extensive business travel working with three Fourtune 500 companies and tried whenever possible to combine business -and- a little sightseeing together to scope out future vacations. From trips to Chicago, IL, to FLA, TEX, many trips to Pittsburgh, PA and loads of Pirates games. I made it work .... when possible. Hey my wife and I are both retired now but always went to at least one major trip per year. Plan ahead !
On vacation trips several Spring Breaks to FLA, when married trips to Orlando, Tampa, the Bahamas, a few cruises any trips to my favorite Oahu, Hawaii .... but that's in a different department. And you're doing another good thing here getting good information from multiple sources here.
▪︎ Just trying to give you some other ideas, back to we hope you enjoy your next trip ! Michael.

Yes I'm already lending some thought to future trips as my ESTA is valid for two years, the rivalry between Browns and Steelers has me intrigued as it's both clubs grudge match and I'll have numerous questions about that when the time comes. I've found you can do loads of internet searches but you can't beat local knowledge so all the recommendations for food and beer will be noted and thoroughly checked out. Even though I'm 56, when a trip is looming I still get giddy about it and now I'm on a single digit count down to my flight on the 21st I'm starting to get proper giddy. Houston for Christmas, Cleveland for New Year. Smashing!!!!!!!

That's another one going on my list. Cheers!
Tbh, wonder bar is nothing special - stop in for a beer maybe. Cordelia and Mabels are definitely worth hitting though.
BB is right here, York. WonderBar is a stop, but only in name sake. Nothing really special. Then again, I'm not big on "special" places. Give me a reasonable volume, lower lighting, a few nice TV's, solid food and hooch and I'm sound as a pound.
But if you can get a Po boy - do it.
And if you can get a pie from Angelo's - also do just that.
edit: York, I might end up having the week between Xmas and NYE off. I had it off last year, but we've had some rough months lately so who knows? If I do, I already have friends talking about being downtown or at least in vicinity for the game, being that it's a Thursday night. If I am off, keep an eye on your PM's. Might be around to buy you a drink and show you some Ohio hospitality.

That'll be excellent if you get chance, I arrive in Cleveland late on 27th but I'm not flying back till the 2nd Jan. Have given it an extra day just in case New Years eve gets messy. There's nothing worse than being on long flights when you feel rough as a bears arse through over doing the beer. My Hotel is down on the Flats so I'm close to centre. Cheers.

Awesome.
I'd suggest downloading the Cleveland Beer Passport if you are heading to the local micro brews. Gives you discounts on some food purchases at some of the stops. You'll have to sift through here to find it. ...
We tailgate by the Flat Iron.
You'll love Forest City & Great Lakes. Saucy is awesome as well. Brick & Barrell is small but great brews.
Just my 2 cents...Butcher & The Brewer is way better than the Wonder Bar if you choose E 4th over W 25th area breweries

How long a walk is it from Flat Iron to the Stadium and what time will you be tailgating till? Just considering options for my pre game slurps and might pop round to say hello. Also once I've got a few sloshing around inside me I can't hold a piss to save my life so walking time becomes important, I'm even worse when it's freezing cold. Will look at Beer passport this weekend. Cheers.

I need some tips on tipping please. When I'm buying drinks am I expected to tip every time I buy one and when I eat how much is it usual to leave? Don't want to be walking away from the bar with them muttering 'tight english wanker' under their breath. Last time I was over I tipped on every other drink, is that about fare enough. When I was in LA a lass served me and she had a face like a slapped arse, wasn't sure if it was me not tipping enough or whether she was always so miserable. Many thanks inadvance.

The walk from there is about 20 minutes.
Which game are you referring to? The NY Jets game, chances are we won't be tailgating because it's a Thurs ?. I'll keep you posted in this thread.

For a meal, 20% is a good rule of thumb for a tip.
For drinks, I usually tip them a buck or two per drink.

Hey Yorkie, you've got me a bit giddy over your upcoming trip here to "CLE 216 The LAND" and all of that. Some great sports diehard fans and a pretty good people to hang with. Just curious in your spare time ..... if you've got any lately ..... if you've looked up a Cleveland native and terriffic writer on all things sports and CLE Mr Terry Pluto ? He's written volumes on the Cleveland sports world. Look up his work if you get time.
I'm sure at some time you might hit "IO" "information overload" but it's good to be prepared and ready before you shove off from the UK. You've found some good guys here to chat with and if you have any other questions just ask.
Well we hope you have a wonderful trip, oh that giddy trip coming stuff coming up. I'm 73 now and due to my back and hip stuff my long trips are gone -but- I've had plenty, my wife occasionally will head to FLA with friends I will pass. We've been to Canada on many trips, nice close place among others.

during the holiday's ? there has to be something going on
Of course Steve and GNATS tailgaters are partying as usual... https://app.3common.com/event/public/croc-pot-mania-vs-the-jets-64d826cf05b46a4093266856

Information overload is about right, Cleveland has been quite easy cos everywhere is walkable from my hotel other than the metro from the airport and back. Houston has taken a bit more planning cos several of the pubs I want to visit are a long bus ride out from the centre so I have to plan that I can get back ok after a good slurp. Got a pile of maps with bus routes and times scribbled on but if I take care of it now I don't have to worry about it when I get there. Thanks to everyone on here for the tips and Information. Not long to go now.

Use Uber, in a city like Houston that’s much easier. In nyc is a different story. Even in Cleveland I’d just pay the $15 for the Uber from downtown to the airport

Btw, how do you watch the browns abroad? I will be in Istanbul for the 2 games you’re here for- Texans and jets.
I only really get to see the highlights on Youtube, I don't have ten million fancy TV channels like some do. I've been working afternoon shift for months so I've been able to watch the Tuesday morning games but I'm back on days now and the games are just finishing as I'm getting up for work at 04.30. I'd check out sports bars online for Texans game , I think Istanbul is 7 hours in front so there is that to bear in mind which would mean Jets game would be live at silly o'clock in Istanbul so your hotel room might be your only possibility. Can't give you any tips for Istanbul as I've only been once for a soccer match and we were taken straight from the plane to the game then stuck back on the plane home straight after the game. We did get a nice boat ride down the Bosphorus river to the stadium though. Enjoy your holiday!

NFL Hunter is pretty reliable for streaming games live. Sometimes takes a while to connect but then stays on all game. I used to pay for nfl game pass but if the game is on sky over here then it's blocked so u then have to pay for sky. Nfl hunter u have the choice of all the games all of the time ?
