Hello Monday! Chelsea here.

Normally I’m not a big fan of Mondays, but since it happens to be my birthday, I’m pretty excited about it. It also happens to be the perfect day to share our massive round-up of the best restaurants in Columbus. There are some real Birthday Dinner contenders in here, almost too many! Who knows how I’m going to decide? Even if it’s not your birthday today, I’d keep this list handy. It really does have a restaurant for every occasion.

The air is getting chilly so I know I’m not the only one wondering how much longer we have to wait for the leaves to start changing. The good news is that this annual, interactive map showcases fall foliage across the country, including right here in Columbus. It’s coming so soon, y’all!
