The Best Diners In Columbus 🥞🍳

Short North Stage Comedy Four Pack

Sponsored by Short North Stage and four brilliant comedies on deck in 2020: Their season continues with 4 side-splitting, door-slamming Broadway comedies. For only $150 you can take advantage of a special low price and see them all! Check out the package here (individual shows also on sale!) 🎭🎭

Happy Thursday! Chelsea here.

I thought we'd kick Thursday off with a list of my favorite things: diners. Honestly, diners are my favorite kind of restaurant. They're usually humble, unassuming, relatively affordable, and the perfect cure for both hangovers and winter blues. Embrace your inner Ron Swanson and explore some of these joints. You won't regret it.

There are so many fun things happening around the city this month. It's almost like we're all trying to forget that we're in the heart of winter or something! Let's have some fun, people.

Linden Shuttles 🚌

Self-driving shuttles will begin service in Linden this month. The electric 12-passenger vehicles will have an operator on board in case of emergency but will be fully autonomous. They'll travel a 2.8 mile loop at an average speed of 12-18 MPH. This shuttle pilot program will be the final one that resulted from the SMRT city grant that Columbus won in 2016. (We took a ride on the Scioto Mile shuttle

.) No word yet on whether or not any of the shuttles will stay on a more permanent basis at the end of the trials.

There Through All The Good And The Bad 🍩

Did you know High Street's Buckeye Donuts is open 24/7/365? I love this look at third generation owner Jimmy Barouxis, and it's also cool to see Breakfast With Nick getting into video work! Buckeye Donuts is one of those things I sometimes take for granted, but I struggle to think of too many things that represent Columbus more. Also, Prince ate there once, and

Mitchell's Ocean Club 🍽

It's easy to get caught up in new restaurant hype and neglect the classics, which is why I loved reading about this Crave Columbus visit to Mitchell's Ocean Club. It's good to be reminded of the old favorites sometimes.
