Hello Monday! Chelsea here.

Welcome to the week! I can’t believe we’re already basically halfway through November. I don’t know where the time is going, but I certainly wish it would slow down! I have so much to accomplish before Thanksgiving, but one thing that feels very fortunate is that Columbus has some truly exceptional places where you can dine in instead of cooking at home. Reservations aren’t required at all spots, but they are always a good idea.
