Experience 2: North Market

My first impression of the North Market was that it reminded me a lot of Trader Joe’s. It was very busy at the time, but I remember how calming it still felt. I enjoyed being at a grocery type store as I realized how often I went at home and how odd it felt to not easily have access to one now. My favorite experience of the location was the Jeni’s Ice Cream. Though it was good, I wouldn’t say it quite lived up to the hype so many locals have placed around it. Regardless, I would recommend the North Market to a friend as it has so much variety and food to offer.

Experience 3: Schmidt’s Sausage Haus und Restaurant

When my parents came to visit they took  me to German Village for lunch. It is beautiful with old stone buildings and the brick road. We spent most of our time just admiring random houses we saw on our way to the restaurant after parking the car. Once we got to the restaurant it was far more casual than I had anticipated, making me somewhat skeptical. Once we got our food, however, it completely lived up to the hype around it. I would recommend this restaurant to a friend for sure not only just for the food, but for the environment.

My favorite experience from this semester was going to German village. I have learned that Columbus is such a diverse city with countless opportunities (for more than just food too!).  This project has made me want to explore more of the arts side of Columbus. I would recommend someone wanting to explore the city make sure they are moving out of just the short north and seeing what Columbus has to offer beyond.
