Happy Thursday! Chelsea here.

I'm always willing to take some time to gush about how lucky I was to live in Kona, HI for a while. It's a magical place that sticks with you long after you leave it (not unlike Columbus), which is why it's not surprising to me at all that it inspired a couple of Ohioans enough for them to open a restaurant shaped around Kona coffee in Dublin. You probably don't need another reason to go to Bridge Park, but just in case, consider swinging by Kona Craft Kitchen when they open in early March. I can guarantee you'll see me there, sipping some delicious Kona coffee and reminiscing.

There's always a debate about who serves up the most delicious bagels in Columbus. It's certainly a tight race, but no one compares with Sammy's Bagels and the absolute magic of waking up with fresh bagels waiting for you on your front porch.

had us dreaming of patio weather. I know it isn't spring yet and that Ohio still has some freezing cold weather in store for us, but I can't help it: I'm ready for drinks on a patio.
