This mall is less than 5 minutes from the Venue & Hotel for all your treat-yo-self needs. It caters to everyone! From Barnes and Noble, Lululemon, Benihana and Dave and Busters! They even have Amazon Lockers! They really got it figured out.
Hungry for a taste of Ohio, but you don't know where to go? Before you go on a never-ending scroll through Yelp, check out North Market! These shop stalls are the little gems that highlight Ohio. We recommend stopping by the pretzel shop, Brezel. It will "Knot" disappoint!
We couldn't figure out how to describe it better than the Short North page itself. So we just used Ctrl+C & Ctrl+V (That's not plagiarism is it?). Anyway, they said "Known as the art and soul of Columbus, the culturally rich Short North Arts District is a pioneer in the urban revitalization of Central Ohio. Visitors are invited to explore our vibrant neighborhood known for its wide variety of amazing art, dining, nightlife, fashion, home décor, and unique gifts." (See, how do you top that description?! Ya don't) Here's a link for Happy Hour List! (you're welcome) https://shortnorth.org/see-experience/happy-hour/ Don't drannnkkk alcohol? https://shortnorth.org/eat-drink/coffee/
Forgot to bring a tie or wanna get your hair did? Have no fear! Easton Town Center can help! It's about 15 minutes away from the Venue & Hotel.

Here's a link of their map and directory: http://eastontowncenter.com/Portals/0/blog/e_dir_20200108_v05.pdf
LIONS AND TIGERS, AND BEARS, OH MY! No, no. This isn't Joe Exotic's zoo. This Zoo also has an Aquarium AND they actually take care of the animals that are housed there. The Columbus Zoo is one of the best Zoo's in the country. So if you are feeling a little wild and want over 200 photos of animals on your camera roll we recommend this Zoo & Aquarium!
