Things To Do
Goodale Park
Goodale Park is situated right in the heart of the Short North. It's great for a stroll or to just sit and people-watch
Short North Arts District
There are tons of local bars, restaurants, and shops in the Short North - this is a great place to walk around and pop in and out of places and try local favorites.
North Market
The North Market is a great little market in the Short North, full of delicious food (including Hot Chicken Takeover!), coffee, and gifts!
Hot Chicken Takeover
Some of the best hot chicken in town. Be sure to try Miss B's banana pudding!
Columbus Museum of Art
Located directly across the street from The Bluestone, the Columbus Museum of Art, designed by a local architect, features gallery space for the museum's permanent collection, and a bright area for special exhibitions. An outdoor sculpture garden and excellent new restaurant make it a great spot to enjoy any time of day. The current exhibit is "Life in the age of Rembrandt".
Scioto Mile Promenade
253 acres of parkland in downtown Columbus features miles of multi-use trails stretching from Bicentennial Plaza in the south to North Bank Park in the North. This is a great spot to take a stroll and enjoy both the city and nature. The country's largest free outdoor climbing wall is accessible from paths along the river at Scioto Audubon Metropark. Just east of the Scioto Mile is Columbus Commons, a six-acre park in downtown Columbus with more than 240 programs and events each year.
