Cleveland Dining

Ohio is a state of fertile farmland and food in Cleveland is fresh, wholesome and of good ‘down-home' quality. Pork, beef and fried chicken are popular as are maize-based dishes such as cornmeal mush (a fried mix of eggs, cracked corn and milk served with breakfast), hominy (made from white corn) and corn-on-the-cob. Fruit pies, maple-cinnamon rolls, homemade granola and hand-cranked Amish ice cream are favorite desserts.

Cleveland Tipping Advice

In Cleveland, as in the rest of the United States, service personnel rely on tips to supplement their wages. For waiters, bartenders, taxi drivers or similar, 15 percent is standard. Baggage handlers at hotels and airports should be given one USD per bag and a hotel doorman, 50 cents to one USD for loading or unloading luggage or other similar service.
