You’re just a short, four-hour drive away from Cleveland. You could visit the birthplace of **Ukulele Ike**. And have a platter of ribs at the [Tick-Tock Tavern](http://cleveland.citysearch.com/profile/7970961/cleveland_oh/tick_tock_tavern.html). And mail a bottle of their BBQ sauce to me here in Brooklyn. ---

Man, are you still floggin’ that horse? I’ll take this as a personal challenge–I’m off next Friday to taste their wares. You’d better be correct about this one. And I cut you no slack just because you ate there last in 1975. This in no way obviates your appreciation of John Thorne. Of course, you and I are the only ones who know about which I speak. ---

And I cut you no slack just because you ate there last in 1975. Don’t forget to order the sauerkraut balls. As an appetizer. First the sauerkraut balls, then the spare ribs. And plenty of Stroh’s.

I apologize for hijacking this thead, but anything you can get in Cinci was stolen from Cleveland. ---

**Ukulele Ike** & \*\*samclem \*\*: Well, apologies to those that live near Cincinnati, but I would actually rather go to Cleveland. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a place I would like to visit one day. > [@PunditLisa](#): > > I’ve been. It’s pretty cool, but it’s not going to take up much time. The river’s nice. Sounds perfect, I will not have a lot of time to burn and it is relatively near the Hotel I am staying at. Thank you all, Jim [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-will-be-in-cincinnati-july-17-20-what-should-i-do-with-my-evenings/364475.md?page=1)
