CLEVELAND, Ohio — Cleveland may have seen an influx of celebrities during the NCAA Women’s Final Four tournament, but it seems like only a matter of time before Taylor Swift comes to town to learn more about her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s hometown roots.

In the latest episode of “DineDrinkCLE: The Podcast,” hosts Josh Duke and Alex Darus are joined by Marc Bona to fantasize a bit about an epic Cleveland getaway from Swift and Kelce. The trio came up with a few local restaurants worthy of an A-list date night, plus some other must-see Cleveland sights.
