Going to Canton. Anyone else going or been before?

NYGmen58 : 7/31/2014 12:21 pm

Flying in later today and cannot wait. It will be my first time have the following itinerary planned:

Friday Morning: Visit HOF museum for several hours

Friday Evening: VIP Cocktail Reception and Dinner then Gold Jacket Presentation Ceremony

Saturday Evening: 92's Enshrinement

Sunday: VIP Roundtable Luncheon with Enshrinees

Sunday Night: Giants - Bills HOF Game

Are there any other sites, activities, events, etc. I should plan to visit/attend?

Any good restaurants or points of interest in the Canton area (doesn't have to be football-related) worth going to?

Thanks!

Iam going too

Staying a bit further south b/c we booked hotels late. We have HOF, Enshrinement & Game tickets, nothing else though. Any ideas on things to do in Canton would be appreciated.

Thats what i got also .I know the parade on Saturday morning is a big event and there is Rib off tomorrow @ a local park

I was raised there..restaurants I recommend:

andrew_nyg : 7/31/2014 2:06 pm : link

Papa Bears restaurant in North Canton (about 10-15 minutes from the HOF)

Benders Restaurant downtown Canton (especially if you're a meat eater)

John's bar Cleveland Ave. canton...great food casual atmosphere

Gervasi Winery - for an upscale night (assuming you can get in)

Lindsays Restaurant on West Tusawaras St (5 min from HOF) if you want a great breakfast place.

a landmark to get to is Woody's Rootbeer Stand on Fulton Rd in Canton...great, fun spot, practically walking distance from the HOF

Monument Park...great place to tailgate / picnic and relax (if you need a workout...cool obstacle course) right below the HOF.

Timely thread for me...

I have to be at a wedding in Cleveland on Saturday. Canton is an hour south.

I'd be lying if I said I haven't been debating calling in sick on Monday and going to the game.

Thanks Andrew
