Highlights

Take a leisurely stroll with us through Columbus’ hip Short North and savor its culinary delights. More than just an arts district and home to the monthly Gallery Hop—a famous downtown Columbus event—the Short North also boasts a wealth of dining and shopping opportunities. The Short North is packed full of Columbus’ best restaurants, boutiques, bistros, and nightlife. This local food and walking tour is designed to show off some of the best that the Short North and Columbus have to offer. We’ll start at the North Market, Columbus’ historic public market, where we’ll meet some of the local food vendors and learn the history of the building. We will then stop at neighborhood eating establishments, sampling some of their signature dishes, and hearing their stories. Stops will include some neighborhood favorites, and some highly regarded new additions including Brassica, Jeni’s Ice Creams and The Guild House.

About Columbus

Columbus, the capital of Ohio, is a big university city with a restored brick neighbourhood, an arts district and a well-known zoo and conservatory.

Columbus lies on the Scioto River in central Ohio and is the state capital and its largest city. The Ohio Statehouse, a Greek Revival building, stands downtown, and The Ohio State University, one of the largest in the country, fills a campus to the north. German Village, a neighbourhood of 19th-century brick cottages on brick-paved streets, with small parks and bakeries, has been carefully restored.
