Rascal House has been a Cleveland staple since 1980, and if you've never tried their food, this year is your year. It started as a college town pizzeria and has grown into a local landmark.

You may want to make this your own after-concert tradition if you ever find yourself in Downtown Cleveland until the wee hours of the morning.
