Doodah Parade
by tvdandy
Every 4th of July, if you are in Columbus, and if you want to laugh out loud and be very entertained, check out the annual Doodah Parade at Goodale Park. This is a crazy parade where the participants are basically making political and cultural statements by the way they dress and how outrageous their dress and cars are decorated. This is pretty liberal biased, but they are the most fun with these things anyway. If you are a republican, you might go blind watching this. Fair warning.
Excellent Italian Restaurant in Columbus
by deecat about Due Amici
Due Amici is a relatively new restaurant in Columbus, Ohio, suggested to us at our hotel, The Hyatt on Capitol Square.
This Italian delight has "Old World cuisine in a landmark building designed in contemporary style. There's an eclectic bar lounge with a happy hour from 3-7. Valet parking is available, but since we walked here, it was not needed.
The dining area has high ceilings, exposed brick walls, yet modern lighting. The ambience is wonderful with a combination of the old and the new.
Open:
Monday-Thursday: 11;00 a.m.-Midnight
Friday: 11:00 a.m. -2:00 a.m.
Saturday: 5:00 p.m.-2:00 a.m.
Sunday: Closed
The menu offers Appetizers, Soups, Pizzas, Salads, Entrees, 6 different Pastas & 14 different Sauces, Sides of vegetables, rice, and potatoes, and, of course, Desserts. Jill had the Tomato Basil Bisque for $4.50, and she loved it.
We shared a Baby Greens Salad consisting of Baby Greens, red onion, Gorgonzola Cheese, blue berrie, raspberries, golden raisins, and Balsamic Vinaigrette which was out of this world delicious.
I ordered a small Margherita Pizza for $10.00, which I shared with Jill. We agreed that it was amazingly good. We finished it off.
They had pure Virgin Olive Oil with Cheese for dipping the warm, Italian bread. Yum!
We shared a special Margherita Drink that was quite strong.
All-in-all, we enjoyed the ambience and loved the food. Our waiter was quite efficient and helpful.
Unmistakably Italian, Unbelievably Good!
by spartan about Spageddies Italian Kitchen
A visit to Spageddies Italian Kitchen is like taking a trip into another world...Italy brought to life in a vibrant, contemporary atmosphere of comfortable ambiance, the enticing aromas of traditional Italian dishes and specialties. Start with a loaf of warm, fresh-from-the oven bread served with Spageddies' own Italian Butter Oil: virgin olive oil, Italian herbs and roasted garlic. For an appetizer, we had Calamari Fritti (lightly breaded & seasoned calamari with Diablo Sauce) and for dinner, I selected the Wild Mushroom Fettuccine (portobella, shiitake and domestic mushrooms sauteed with fresh spinach, roasted garlic cream sauce and fettuccine).
