Went here with a friend for a little stop. There was so much to see in this place. We never thought we'd enjoy the district so much. There were lovely galleries all over. There were also a variety of shops that sell cute and artsy trinkets. The vintage botiques were also a feast for the eyes. We just wanted to enter them all. You could just feel the classic vibe that this strip has. After lots of walking, there are lots of restaurants to choose from for a nice meal. There are also pubs to go to if you would want to go in for a little drink.

I always direct visitors to Columbus to the Short North. It has some of the best restaurants in the city and enough boutiques, shops, vintage stores and galleries to keep you entertained for an afternoon, if not the whole day!
