Cleveland, one of Ohio’s international gateways, boasts a cultural scene with a world-renowned symphony, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the celebrated cuisine of Michael Symon.
Cincinnati, the other international gateway, sits on the Ohio River. Winston Churchill called Cincinnati “the most beautiful of America’s inland cities.” Grab a hot dog at a Cincinnati Reds baseball game or taste a local craft beer at one of the popular new breweries around town.
