Cleveland
Clinic is located near University Circle, five miles east
of downtown Cleveland. University
Circle is the cultural, medical and education center of Cleveland and Northeast
Ohio. Case Western
Reserve University and University
Hospitals are within one mile of Cleveland Clinic. Medical research in the University
Circle institutions places Cleveland as one of the major medical research environments
in the country.
University Circle is also the home to the Cleveland Museum of Art (admission is free), the Cleveland Institute of Music, the Cleveland Institute of Art, and the Museum of Natural History. The Cleveland Orchestra, one of the best in the country, performs in Severance Hall. The University Circle area is walking distance from Cleveland's historic Little Italy, with its brick streets, art studios and craft shops. The Coventry Area is close to the Clinic and popular with its shops, restaurants, and a movie theatre.

There is much to do in Cleveland, the New American City. The entire area has a wide variety of restaurants, many featuring ethnic cuisine. "The Flats" are old converted warehouses down on the riverfront full of restaurants and nightclubs. Coming up the hill from "The Flats" is the Warehouse District, a continuation of restaurants and clubs.
Cleveland runs the full gamut of sports teams, the Indians, Cavaliers and the Browns! We also have the Monsters (hockey) and the Gladiators (indoor football).
