There is no "bad" time to explore Ohio, but I think we can all agree that something magical happens around here in the spring. If you're looking for a little peace and quiet that's off the beaten path, we've got some suggestions. Of course, there's nothing wrong with hitting the more popular spots (they are popular for a eason). But sometimes, you just want to take in some underrated gems. Have fun exploring!

I have been so excited about this since it was announced last summer. High Bank Distillery will open their new Gahanna/New Albany location next week and it looks so gorgeous. I cannot wait to have a cocktail on the massive patio!
