Eat.
Despite growing up in a fairly diverse region and having many Polish friends, I had never indulged in their fantastic cuisine until arriving in Columbus. Being Italian, I always loved the my culture’s food but never managed to explore other options. The Polish food at the North Market is one of the best meals I have ever eaten. The pierogis were phenomenal and the chicken cheese meatball was equally as good. I think I found my favorite place to eat in Columbus.
Go.
One Sunday a friend and I went to the Ohio Capital Building which I have never been to before. I like history and government so I thought this was pretty cool. I probably would have never really thought to go here if someone had not suggested it. The history of the building and the things that transpired there are very interesting. The architecture is also very impressive. I would have never guessed that there is actually a dome within the building’s turret.
Do.
My friend convinced me to go on a tour of Columbus with her one weekend and I am so glad I did. We stopped off in the Short North and the German village which were both really cool. I though I had seen basically everything Columbus had to offer but I was very wrong. The tour took us to several areas of town that were considered run down but up and coming. Along the way old and new architecture was pointed out to us. I am glad I got to see more of the city and the tour also provided us with someone background history on the region. All of it was very cool.
