Things To Do

Cartoon Crossroads Columbus

Lucky for you, our wedding falls on the same weekend as CXC! CXC is a free, citywide cartoon arts festival of interactive panels, presentations, & artist spotlights from a world-class guest list. Eli and his family have been a part of it ever since it started. Admission is free and all are welcome!

Center of Science and Industry (COSI)

Shirley used to grow up going to COSI every weekend! She even worked at the Language Labs upstairs during college. We had wonderful dinosaur dates here.

Columbus Museum of Art

RG works here, but before that, Shirley and Eli also loved to take advantage of their free Sunday admission for a low-cost date. You should too!

The Book Loft of German Village

Shirley and Eli have gone on no less than 5 dates here. Are you surprised? All hail Malamarkus, our Skeleton Lord and Savior!

North Market Downtown

Might we recommend the famed, Guy-Fieri approved, Momo Ghar dumplings? You won't regret it!

The Laughing Ogre

Eli's beloved backyard comic book store. A staple of Clintonville and the local comics community for over two decades!

Columbus Zoo and Aquarium

Jack & Benny's Old North Diner

Jiu Thai Asian Cafe

In our opinion, Jiu Thai has the best noodles in the whole city. Shirley greatly missed their authentic Shanxi spicy noodles while in Louisville (remember, spicy=good!!), and now you can crave them too!

La Poblanita

Our beloved neighborhood taco truck!

Min-Ga Korean Restaurant

Shirley and Eli have been on many dates here, and absolutely demolish the plates every time.

Wizard of Za

Who knew that Youngstown pizza could be so good? And yes, it really is that good. Move over, Chicago!

Cinnamon Indian Grill

We have ordered from Cinnamon countless times, and we will order from them again. We love their samosas!

Sunflower Chinese Restaurant

Shirley grew up going to dim sum here often! One of the most beloved Chinese spots in the city.
