So I've got meetings in Columbus, OH for a few days next month and was curious to see what some things are to do there. Never been there before and I'll have a little bit of free time on my hands.
Columbus, OH Recs
- Thread starter TexSkills
- Start date
Looks like anything you want to do is a quick 3 hour drive away. Tour the Callahan Brake Pad Factory in Sandusky to the north... maybe take in a Reds game an hour or so away. Hell, head over on 70 to Pittsburgh and get a quality sandwich. Or just chill in the hotel and catch up on sleep since you won't have a couple toddlers with you.
How old are you?
The short north is located right below OSU campus and has a handful of bars to go to. Generally a younger crowd goes there.
The arena district has a bunch of bars/restaurants as well.. If you're a baseball fan, I would check out the Columbus Clippers. Their ballpark is always rated in the top 3 of all the minor league parks. My girlfriend likes to go to German village to dinner/drink.
Shopping wise there is Polaris fashion center. Has all the shopping you could ask for.

I'm almost 40 and I'll be there on business for 4 days.Thanks for the suggestions. I'll have to double check but I think I'm staying at the Hyatt by Nationwide Arena.
Huntington park is right by nationwide arena if you're down for a baseball game.. Polaris shopping is well north of that. Maybe 20 min from downtown.
But I would check out the arena district and German village for food due to how close you will be from your hotel.
don't go!? That's my recommendation.
Cincinnati is an 1:45 min southeast of the city.. And Pittsburgh is a good 3 1/2 hour drive east... Both are great ballparks though. But I doubt you would wanna make that drive
I said "or so"... cut me some slack. Sheesh.
I hear ya! I'm just being the local who will give the exacts on distances. Lol
Have you been able to go to either ballpark?
I haven't. I have a buddy that's gone to PNC and constantly raves about it. The Reds were my non-local team growing up and I've love to go to GAB at some point.
Have to go to Thurmans cafe in the German Village. If you have the guts order the Thurmanater. Was featured on college gameday with Todd Blackledge and also on the Food Network. Seen where the Buckeye football team was there last week. Look it up online. Have fun.
Go to the Big Lots headquarters and watch them load the trucks, all headed to the company's best customers in Alachua County, Florida.
Some serious beer options in this town. Especially happy to find a place that has Rhinegeist from Cincy
Nope. I did my PhD there and spent very little time goofing off...because there wasn't much to do, unless you're 18 to 22 years old. It's a college town, for the most part, with the usual trappings (which is fine, if your thing).
When we go back for football games we stay at Easton, a huge shopping and entertainment complex. I love it because there's a World of Beer there.

I may be 40 but Midwestern chicks still haven't changed: not that attractive and pasty. Thank God I grew up in the Southwest.
None of us are cruising for chicks. Our group is 5 married guys who "happen to notice things"
The only guy in our group who thinks any of these girls are attractive went to Notre Dame. Go figure.

Rhinegeist makes some very good beer. Toss up between them and Madtree as my favorite Cincy brewery.
It was very good beer. I tried two of offerings and both were excellent.
The local Columbus offerings are good also, especially Land Grant and Seventh Son
Stay in Marysville they said. F that. I'll wake up at 5:30 before I sleep OTP.
