Shrimp Lips Is Going To Be Your New Seafood Obsession 🦐
Sponsored by Decorative Arts Center Of Ohio and their new exhibition 2+3x18: Rooted in tradition from the Byzantine, Medieval, and Renaissance eras, diptychs (two-paneled pieces) and triptychs (three-paneled pieces) have been used to tell stories through the ages. This exhibition features 18 contemporary Ohio artists who have used the diptych and triptych to create remarkable stories, some focused on personal experiences and others on a life-long interest or idea. Opens July 18th! More info right here. 👩🎨🎨
Happy Thursday! Chelsea here.
If you've been driving through the south end of Columbus and found yourself wondering if it would be worth it to stop in at Shrimp Lips for a bite to eat, I have good news. The answer is yes, absolutely. If you've never heard of Shrimp Lips, it's an adorable little takeout place serving up delicious and flavorful seafood. Writer Kevin Williams weighs in on the hidden gem that is Shrimp Lips and shares what he enjoyed most about the little seafood shack on Parsons Ave.

I absolutely love the way this modern home brings the outdoors inside with the open floor plan and floor-to-ceiling windows. This is a unique property, complete with a home theater and sauna. Home sweet home, am I right?

We all need to get out of the house while still staying safe. This great list from Breakfast With Nick is geared towards both of those goals, and it widens the radius to include some fun options outside of Columbus.

Really, We're All Wingin' It If You Think About It 🍗
If you're a long time reader you probably are well aware by now that I love local single-topic Instagram accounts (we even
that we'll hopefully bring back at some point), and I'm here today to share one that will be very useful to some of you. Discovering new restaurants and finding fun new things to eat is difficult even in the best of times - and these obviously aren't the best of times, unfortunately. For some foods, it's not such a big deal to take a risk on something that falls short - there's that old saying about bad pizza for a reason - but for other foods it's kind of a bummer. Wings are one of those foods because bad wings are often unspeakably awful. This Instagram account will help you avoid those encounters, while also surfacing plenty of new places to try.

According to an industry survey, 54% of Ohio restaurants believe they will have to close in the next nine months if they continue to operate at current operating capacity. I assume this doesn't include the restaurants we have already lost. (NBC 4)

Today's Photo 🤳
Whoa, how about this great drone shot of Glacier Ridge Metro Park? We're blessed with so many great drone photographers in Columbus, but this is one of my favorite drone shots I've seen here to date.
