The Eagle has amazing southern food, especially their fried chicken! It's a great place to grab some food and/or a drink. Both indoor and outdoor seating are available.
Paulie Gee's has THE BEST PIZZA in town (in my opinion). It is authentic Neapolitan pizza, and has vegan and gluten free options as well.
This is where Tommy and I had our first date! The tacos are great and the margaritas are delicious.

This is a great area for families to enjoy the water fountains and walk around Columbus. There is also a restaurant at the Scioto Mile that has both indoor and outdoor seating.
Cosi is an interactive science center for kids and families. This place is wonderful for kids, and if you have time, I would recommend you go. It takes a few hours to get through everything, and tickets will have to be purchased upon your arrival.
The Columbus Commons is a fun area for adults, kids, and families. The Commons has a food stand, an ice cream stand, an oversized chess set, and space to walk around. It is free to go to the Commons, but you will need to park in a parking garage if you do not Uber or use Lyft.
The line is typically long, but the ice cream is amazing. The ice cream is hand rolled, and your order is made in front of you.
