Food Scene

The best coffee shop in town; and also a fair trade shop. My brother used to work there. PRO TIP: Home of Columbus' most awesome farmers' market on Saturday mornings, from 9am-noon. Don't support some big chain coffee spot ... come to Global Gallery! PS -- They have local beer. On tap.

Drinks & Nightlife

I don't drink, but this is the best spot in town. Sleepy little perfect evening spot next to the old Bud Dairy in Italian Village. Homegrown -- started as a concept at the North Market and became Columbus' most beloved local brewery. Get here before all the bros find out and ruin it! PRO TIP: Different local food trucks park here each night! Also, look out for Assistant Manager Cat!

Parks & Nature

Right across High Street from our place. Dreamiest park in the city. Come for weird roses, to watch people, to watch the sunset over the soccer fields, to watch other peoples' Great Danes, or to access the Olentangy Trail to get downtown, to OSU, or to some random grocery store in Worthington! PRO TIP: Bike up the Olentangy Trail on a Saturday AM for progressive visits to many of the best farmers' markets in North Columbus! It's always shockingly cool along the trail.

Essentials

It's kind of gourmet -- like: they have yogurt-covered almonds from Switzerland; but not local kale; but it's also super close-by and within walking distance from our listing! Great for teas, a quick kombucha, or ... fancy wafers from European nations.
