Festival Latino
by tvdandy
Do you like spicey foods, hot dancing ala cha cha cha, great latin rythyms. Well if you answered yes, and you happen to be in Columbus is Mid-June. Then come on down to the riverfront area of downtown for the annual Festival Latino. A huge variety of mexican dishes, reasonable price (for a festival) and a general good time if you like Latin music and atmosphere. This is pretty well attended, but not so much as the Columbus Arts Fest.
The world's best Coffeehouse!
by tvdandy about Stauf's
Located in the heart of Grandview, I love this place, a great coffehouse, with awesome tasting coffee and they sell a full line of their different brand coffee beans. Have pastries and snacks as well. But the best part is the atmosphere. Everybody comes here, from professors, to slackers, to students, to the everlovin hippies, to yuppies, everybody. Better bring a wireless laptop though if you want to fit in. Excellent people watching, sitting outside and checking out the Grandview foot traffic.
Tex-Mex done right
by spartan about Tumbleweed Southwest Grill
Tumbleweed Southwest Grill offers Tex-Mex cuisine along with mesquite grilled steaks, chops, chicken and seafood. We started off with an appetizer called a Taste of Texas (buffalo chicken tenders, baby back ribs, Arizona eggrolls, southwest fries, Texas toothpicks with buffalo sauce and chipotle ranch dressing).
Next, we ordered a bowl of Potato Soup (creamy potato soup with colby cheese and bacon).
For my entree, I selected the Peppercorn Steak Salad (greens, tomatoes, sliced sirlion steak topped with chipotle ranch dressing).
German Village--More Church Architecture
by atufft
Within eye shot of Trinity Lutheran is an much newer church building of outstanding architectural construction. Unfortunately, I couldn't identify the congregational ownership from the outside, and the impressive front door was locked!
John Brickell Moved Here in 1797
by atufft
John Brickell was the first inhabitant in Columbus, building a log cabin on the Scioto River in 1797. He had been kidnapped by the Delaware Indians in 1791 and released by the treaty of Greenville in 1795. These facts and the exact location of his log cabin are marked by a boulder and brass plaque in Battelle Waterfront Park
