Hello, Monday! Chelsea here.

Welcome back to another weekend, friends. I thought we’d kick this week off with a story that’s most likely going to make you a little hungry. I apologize for that but the truth is, I visited a new diner on Friday and it was so good that I can’t wait another day to tell you about it. Nestled across the street from Mozart’s, Jenny’s Diner hits all the right notes. This is a run don’t walk situation, but I do have one bit of bad news: They’re closed on Mondays.

❤️ Iconic Arts Magazine Declares Columbus a Premier Destination for Creatives and Foodies
Obviously, we all know that Columbus is a great city if you love food and art. But it’s always nice when other people figure it out for themselves. I love seeing so many wonderful Columbus spots get mentioned by an organization that’s been talking about arts and culture for over 100 years.

☘️ We Watched This Hallmark Movie Set In Columbus So You Wouldn’t Have To
I think that by now it’s obvious that I’m the kind of Ohioan who gets overly excited anytime I see my home city or state represented in any kind of media. So when I heard there was a Hallmark movie set partially here in Columbus, I knew that I was going to watch it. What I didn’t know was that I would end up enjoying it. What can I say, sometimes a cheesy, St. Patrick’s Day rom-com just hits the spot.
