Things To Do
Bier Stube
The diviest-dive bar of all time. Where all true love begins. Make sure to play "September" by Earth, Wind & Fire on the jukebox and grab a Truth by Rhinegeist on draft for the full Stube experience.
Short North Arts District
The epicenter of hipstery things in C-town (where most of our fav things on this page are located). The downtown area is basically a long stretch of shopping with plenty of art galleries, knick-knack shops, restaurants and bars. There’s also a healthy dose of street art and graffiti on the sides of many of the brick buildings!
Condado Tacos
This is Lauren's all-time favorite taco joint. Don't forget to try the queso and blood orange margarita!
Hot Chicken Takeover
This is Zack's favorite fried chicken spot in Columbus. He loves the mac and cheese and chicken sandwich (and you can't forget about the sweet tea)!
Marcella's
This dreamy Italian restaurant is where we went on a date for the first time in Columbus. The braised veal meatball is to die for.
Buckeye Donuts
This donut joint was a weekly must when we were in college.
North Market
North Market is Columbus’ only daily farmer's market with dozens of local vendors, restaurants and businesses. This is the cutest place to shop, eat, mingle, and people-watch.
Pins Mechanical Co.
What's better than a cool bar with great handcrafted cocktails? A cool bar with great handcrafted cocktails, bowling, pinball, pingpong, foosball and life-size Jenga.
Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens Palm House
Get ready to be lost in a beautiful, exquisite tropical green house for hours.
Cup O Joe Coffee House
This cozy coffee shop is very special to us. Many grueling study hours and long-distance note writing spent here. Try Lauren's favorite brew: Highlander Grogg
