🍴 The Best New Restaurants To Try This Month

Sponsored by The JuntoThe newest addition to Franklinton is The Junto, an independent lifestyle hotel and modern-day ‘club for mutual improvement,’ where people from all backgrounds can come together to discuss issues and ideas of the time. If, like me, you think this would be an epic place to enjoy a little staycation, you're in luck. The hotel has a special 'Locals Only' package complete with 15% off guest rooms and complimentary parking. The Junto is expected to open Memorial Day weekend. For more info, or to book your stay, please visit thejuntohotel.com. 😍

Hello May! Chelsea, here.

And just like that, we say goodbye to April. I can hardly believe that it's the start of a new week, much less the start of a new month. Luckily, there are a bunch of delicious, new restaurants to ease our way into May. Put on your eating pants and start making some plans, folks! It's time to fall in love with some new Columbus eateries.
