Hello, Tuesday! Chelsea here.

Tucked away in Grandview Heights, the Ohio Craft Museum is quietly doing some seriously cool things with glass, wood, textiles, and more. They’ve got rotating exhibits, hands-on workshops and classes, plus a gift shop where you’ll probably end up treating yourself to something cool. They’re giving the whole museum a makeover this summer, so it’ll be shinier than ever when it reopens in just a couple of weeks. Curious yet? This hidden gem might just become your new favorite spot.

🍔 Burger Royale Brings ‘Pulp Fiction’ Vibes To High Street
I’m a sucker for a good burger and I went through a big Pulp Fiction phase in college, so I have to admit, I’m pretty excited this place exists in Columbus.
