  High Street near the university?
  I'd assume - off the cuff - there's some culture concentrated there?

  • big college town -- no?– doesnotexist

  High St isn't what it used to be. When I was hanging out there over 10 years ago it was door to door bars and you could buy 5 gallon buckets of beer for $5. They tore down all those bars to make way for Urban Outfitters and Boarders Book Stores. Damn Shame.
  I guess the short north on High St. between downtown and campus might still be a cool place to go.

  • < bars are moving back into campus but not as cheap etc but there are still areas to have a good time but honestly only college kids hang out in campus.– traut1/3

    college kids hang out in campus.
    go to short north for a drink or dinner its nicer– traut2/3

    I left C'bus in '99 when I could still get away with hanging on campus with the kids– fooler3/3

  Clintonville has some great independent shops and restaurants, as does Grandview Heights. The Short North is kind of trendy and expensive but definitely worth walking around to look at people.

  • i<< im in cbus...this is good advice. also german village is fun to walk around. campus is kinda boring since it went corporate.– alouette

  Be sure to wear a Michigan T Shirt if you're going to walk around campus, it's a real friendly rivalry.

  • +1, Likewise, if you find yourself at the Big House rock that OSU shirt– d_rek

  Was down in Columbus over the weekend, didn't plan on going to campus but it happened somehow. Strangely I didn't burst into flames when I walked into the union. Wish I would have had my Michigan shirt with me to get some great stares and comments.

  Check out the short north / Clintonville / grandview.
  @rainmain mentioned some of foodie staples here in town.
  But there are many more if you check out Experience Columbus website they have some great stuff listed.

  Some other good places in short north :
  Hubbard Grill / Rossi / Haiku / Lemongrass

  If you have time checkout the photography exhibit at the museum of art downtown. And the Wexner center up near campus always has interesting exhibits.

  What part of town are you staying?

  • I stayed right downtown at the Renaissance, didnt get a chance to check out the exhibit– partdeux

  rainman has some great suggestions.
  I'd also throw in Elevator Brewery and Drought Haus. A damn fine place for a drink and round of pool.
  Wexner usually has some interesting art as mentioned as well as great music performances. Worth peeking at the schedule.

  If you like steaks, I go to The Top Steakhouse, http://thetopsteakhouse.com/. I prefer it over most of the chain steakhouses in town. The Top has great food and the decor reminds you of the rat pack days. It's not downtown though (it's in Bexley), but it's worth the 5-10 minute drive depending on where you're staying.

  Just wanted to say thanks to all you guys for the suggestions. I'm actually making point to get out there once a year now.

  Crushed a ton of beer, ate some great food, saw Joey Diaz perform, went to Rock on the Range (Incubus, Cypress Hill, Manson) and met a great guy who makes edibles.

  Oh, and I hit up 4 food trucks in one day. Toronto is seriously lacking in that department.

  • did you eat at a mexican food truck I forgot about those!!! DAMNT– rodzilla1/2

    I forget the name, but fuck there are a couple good ones.– rodzilla2/2

  Oooo which food trucks?

  I work AT Dirty Franks making slushie cocktails for the masses, as well as for Surly Girl, and Betty's, etc doing design - you check any of those out? .

  Rainman is not lying about The Top. Pure swank there.

  Any Columbus College of Art & Design alumni's? Class of '98 here.

  • It's alumnus. I guess Columbus College of Art & Design doesn't put much emphasis on writing.– monospaced1/5

    I mean, it's just Alumni. Alumnus is the singular.– monospaced2/5

    Maybe you should teach english instead of design– pinkfloyd3/5

    Weren't you an english major once mono? You well studied SOB.– rodzilla4/5

    a) I don't teach design
    b) I take pride in writing/reading– monospaced5/5

  No, Pratt '98 - but since we are the same year I'm sure we share acquaintances. The NYC pee smell was too much for me and now that I'm close to 90, I love a clean city.
