Sightseeing

Hands down, my favorite spot to visit. Beautiful gardens indoors and out; butterflies flying about; classes in art, gardening, cooking. The new outdoor children’s garden is a can’t miss. Check out the Chihuly glass exhibit and watch glass blowers at work--you can even take a glass blowing class!

: Explore this old Columbus neighborhood, famous for its brick streets and quaint shops. Spend hours in The Book Loft, a sprawling old home turned book store, and shop arts & crafts at Helen Winnemore’s. Walk around the community gardens at Schiller Park, where you can catch a free outdoor play. This summer’s performances include Romeo & Juliet, Little Women, As You Like It, and Dangerous Liasons. Check out the amazing food in the neighborhood: Pistachia Vera for pastries, Sycamore or South Village Grille for dinner, Fox in the Snow or Skillet for breakfast. And, of course, Thurman’s for a burger!

Borgata’s Pizza is the best in the city! New York style deliciousness! 5701 Parkville Street, Columbus. There is another location a bit further away (2285 W. Dublin Granville Road) -- the second location has outdoor seating and is just a few doors down from a great local brewery, Random Precision (2365 W. Dublin Granville Road). You can get a Borgata’s Pizza to go and sit at Random Precision’s tables to eat pizza and drink great beer while you play board games and talk. It’s a family friendly spot too!

Momo Ghar is a hidden gem! One of our favorite meals is the Jhol Momos (dumplings with a somewhat spicy sauce. The original location is in Saraga Market at 1256 Morse Road but it is tiny (seating for about 10 people max). We usually get ours to go.

If you are looking for an indulgent breakfast, check out SuperChefs. We usually split a “The Heat” Omelette with housemade chorizo and then have breakfast dessert with an order of their SuperPancake platter that has a Red Velvet, a Reese’s Peanut Butter, a Baked Alaskan Banana Pudding, and a Blueberry with Lemon Butter Whipped Cream. Seriously amazing. Danger of food coma. 1344 Cherry Bottom Road, Gahanna.

New India on Bethel Road is our favorite spot for Indian, even though there are a number of places much closer. It’s nothing fancy--just in a little strip mall. But their spicy chicken curry is excellent and so is the garlic naan. 5226 Bethel Center Mall.
