Happy Thursday! Chelsea here.

With the most romantic day of the year right around the corner, plenty of people in Columbus are thinking about what sort of Valentine's Day dinner they'd like to have. My husband and I, on the other hand, have never been big celebrators of that mushy, lovely holiday. But one thing we do enjoy is a nice steak dinner. Luckily, we can have that any night we want in Columbus. If steak and potatoes have been calling your name, here's a list of places you need to visit.

You know that friend/cousin/brother you have who's such a great guy and deserves an awesome lady? Well, get ready to change his world, because The Bachelor Live is coming to Columbus for one night only and they're looking for the star of the show. I don't know about you, but this sounds like an evening filled with the best kinds of fun and drama and I'm here for it. Who is Columbus's most eligible Bachelor? I'm dying to find out.

The house hunting struggle can be real. Finding your perfect home in a city like ours can be overwhelming, considering the market here moves at a fast pace. If you're wondering how far your $275K budget will go, the answer is pretty dang far. 

Talking Points ❤️ 

Mountain Bike Columbus 🚵‍♀️

Mountain biking trails are coming to Columbus Metro Parks. Three to five trails will be built at the new Quarry Trails Metro Park, some as long as a mile, and of varying degrees of difficulty. Metro Parks executive director Tim Moloney says he wants the biking to be fun for spectators as well, comparing it to the climbing wall at Scioto Audubon.

More On Envision Hilltop 💸

This article is a good overview of the Envision Hilltop plan recently released by the city. This stat really jumped out at me - only "84 people live and work in the plan’s focus area boundary". Of course, it's not uncommon for a community to be full of commuters, but the article goes on to point out that the majority of people in the Hilltop travel by foot, bike, or bus. More in the link below.

huaraches from El Huarache Veloz

Little late for Taco Tuesday, so can we just make Taco Thursday a thing? These beautiful huaraches are from El Huarache Veloz. If you're unfamiliar, huaraches are "long masa dough based dish with smashed pinto beans in the center, and this one was topped with al pastor, onions, lettuce, cilantro, and crema". You can find El Huarache Veloz at 2327 W. Broad St.
