in Columbus


Hanging in Columbus, OH, was great. I love that city. Here's some things we did which I highly recommend if you're ever there...
  • Go to North Market - HUGE farmers market with flowers, boba tea, coffee, and food from every area of the world. I got Indian food, then some coffee, and a piece of AMAZING rosemary-garlic foccacia bread to go :)
  • Eat Jeni's ice cream - with flavors such as Salty Caramel, Thai Chili, Kona Stout, and my personal fav these days...Pistachio & Honey. A Columbus tradition
  • Pistacia Vera - the best friggin' Parisian macarons you've ever had (and yes, they spell "macaroons" with one "o". Has been featured on Oprah and utterly amazing...
  • Go to my sister's museum! - the Columbus Museum of Art
  • Go hang out and walk by the Olentangy River - there's a path that runs along it
  • Check a really cool area of town called German Village - really cute shops and authentically German!
  • Good coffee - Staufs and Cafe Brioso - so dang good...
This is one of the only cities I could live in if I moved back to the Midwest...

Sounds like you had a great traveling experience. I enjoy thew open roads of the midwest, especially Illinois- all the way to Chicagoland. I will have to visit columbus soon once added to my adventure agenda. The scene sounds really exciting.

It was a great time! And I agree, the drive up to Chi-town is great.
