Quick Cleveland help needed
 

I've come across -- unexpectedly -- about 4 hours of free time during my business trip and need to get some shopping done. I'm staying downtown by the convention center. Where is the closest, higher-end mall? I guess I'll be taking a cab. Time/cab fare estimates appreciated. Thanks!

Tower City is right downtown. It is a small shopping mall and the Galleria is also close by. All the malls are in the suburbs. SouthPark in Strongsville is quite nice, but a bit of a cab ride.

Beachwood, on the east side of clvd, is home to a wonderful upscale mall and many great restaurants. Its approximately 10-20 minutes east of downtown, depending on traffic and the time of day, etc. I personally prefer Southpark Mall in Strongsville, but its about 1/2 hour south of the city.<BR><BR>How about a trip to the Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame?<BR><BR>Enjoy your stay!

Thanks for the input. Yes! I've been to the RRHOF and other attractions, what I need now is an upscale, large scale mall, as I have some gifts to buy. Something with Nordstrom's, Nieman's, Saks...you get the idea. The front desk told me the nearby Galleria was small with no department store.<BR><BR>So what do you think? Beechwood or Southpark?

Beachwood is the place to go. There's Nordstroms, Saks, as well as many other great stores! The Galleria is a ghost town! Have fun shopping!
