Definitely check out the Arena District. This is probably your best bet to stay in the area, unless of course you want Spaghetti Warehouse. Cap City in Grandview is wonderful too. Other than that, maybe one of the restaurants at Easton Town Center? Too bad it's Nick's graduation weekend or I'd come down and sit by the pool with you!

They have a Coney Island place in the short north. BF and I go there for lunch a lot. There's also a really good Chinese place, Moy's. Eddie George's has pretty good food if you're into the sports/loud type place. Easton has a lot of good places, Cheesecake Factory, there's an Irish Pub that has great food (can't remember the name now though...)

German Village is a good place to go as well. I suggest Katzinger's Deli for lunch or a really casual dinner.

Oh and the Book Loft is close to there if you like to read. It's in an old house and it like a maze- you can get lost wandering through it. It's one of my favorite places in Columbus.

I know, right? I have no U of M paraphernalia on my car. My license plate is an EMU one though. My son is worried about being in Ohio State country but he has been DYING to go to one of these. He watches them online (they live stream it) for about a year now.

I really can't believe I'm doing this. Thanks for the suggestions!

Both great choices. I absolutely love going to the Book Loft.

I remember when I was 6 or 7 (just learned how to read) and my Dad took me there. He lost me and freaked out (this was before cell phones!). He had workers looking all over for me- they finally found me in a tiny room the size of a closet curled up on the floor reading a book.

So where did you end up going?
