๐บ๐ธ US Road Trip ๐ | 2 Days in Cleveland | Solo Travel
๐ฅธ Hi~ Long time no see! Finally, spring break is here ๐ธ Today Iโm sharing my road trip experience from Columbus to Cleveland! ๐ธ The drive from Columbus takes about 2 hours. Driving or renting a car is affordable, but you can also take Greyhound โ a flexible round-trip ticket costs around $100. ๐จ Hotel: Hyatt Regency Cleveland At the Arcade This historic hotel is absolutely stunning, both day and night ๐ Perfect for photos โ definitely bring a friend! Since I was traveling alone, I had to set up my camera on the window ledge for timed selfies ๐คณ Valet parking was $39 ๐ธ, so I used a nearby garage instead โ just a 30-second walk away. ๐ฝ๏ธ Food: ๐ธ Blue Point Grille โ Highly recommend their happy hour on weekends! Went there on a Sunday night and felt like I scored big ๐ฆ Ordered lobster bisque, lobster risotto, and steak tartare. They also serve bread ๐ The bisque and risotto were packed with lobster and the portions were huge โ I could only finish half! Best for solo diners or pairs since happy hour is only at the bar. ๐ธ Koko Bakery โ An old-school bakery. Highly recommend the egg yolk pastries! ๐ฅฎ Affordable and delicious. ๐ธ Dagu Rice Noodle โ Try the sour soup beef noodles and chicken cutlet ๐๐ ๐ธ LJ Shanghai โ Their soup dumplings are a must-try! ๐ฅ ๐ธ Sichuan House โ Pretty standard Sichuan fare. Their small portion of Mala Xiangguo was still huge โ couldnโt finish it alone! ๐ถ๏ธ ๐ญ Things to Do: Of course, museum hopping is a must! The art museum, natural history museum, and more are all in one area near Case Western Reserve University ๐ ๐ธ Classical Music Lovers: Donโt miss The Cleveland Orchestra! I went specifically for Sibeliusโ symphony โ it was magnificent! ๐ป ๐ธ Scenic Spots: Lake Erie is a must-visit! Lakewood Park is huge with wide lake views โ perfect for sunset gazing ๐ I left early because I was too hungry ๐ Major regret! ๐ Landmark Photo Spot: Voinovich Bicentennial Park โ Giant โCLEVELANDโ sign with awesome city and lake views ๐ธโจ Best around sunset when the light shimmers on the water. Also close to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (designed by I.M. Pei) โ a must-see for architecture fans ๐๏ธ Thatโs all for now! Hope you enjoyed this recap. Wishing everyone a joyful spring break! ๐ #RoadTrip #StudyInUSA #Cleveland #SpringBreak #Ohio #Columbus #SoloTravel #USATravel #ExploreOhio
