Hello, Monday! Chelsea here.

Welcome back from another beautiful weekend, my friends. We’re moving into a super busy week here in Columbus, but before we dive into all of that, I want to share what I got up to this weekend. On Friday night, I had the chance to visit I Like It Like That, a new cocktail and wine bar at Natalie’s Grandview. I went in with high hopes because I was a big fan of the owner’s previous cocktail bar, Light of Seven Matchsticks, and I was not disappointed! Run don’t walk yourself over to make a reservation. You will not regret it.
