CLEVELAND — People are passionate about Cleveland.

Very passionate.

But what is the best part about the city?

Is it eating a beer-infused donut at Brewnuts or soaking in the displays at the Cleveland Museum of Art? How about gobbling up a serving of Mitchell’s iconic ice cream or spending a sunny afternoon along the shores of Edgewater Beach?

Destination Cleveland has partnered with SoulPancake to launch their newest campaign -- The Best Part – in a combined effort to find what people love most about the city using impromptu debates on the streets.

“Polish Boy, that’s something that we eat here in Cleveland,” one woman said. “It’s this Polish sausage in a hot dog. It’s a big mess. You’ve got coleslaw, fries, barbecue sauce. It’s a mess. … There are people that would drive two hours to get a Po’ Boy.”

Her “opponent” disagreed because this city, she said, is all about the Browns.

“There are people that would sit on the Shoreway for three hours to get to the Browns game that’s 15 minutes away.”

In light of exploring the best “The Land” has to offer, Destination Cleveland has opened a contest where the winner will experience “the best part of CLE.” Click here to enter. The top prize includes a three-night trip for two people, including round-trip airfare vouchers to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, tickets to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, dining gift cards and more.

"When you're here, you're one of us," Destination Cleveland officials said when launching this campaign. "There's no debate."

So what is your favorite thing about Cleveland? Join the conversation on social media using #TheBestPart.
