Hello, Tuesday! Chelsea here.

Welcome back to another week, my friends. It was a very chilly weekend, and these arctic temperatures are unfortunately sticking around. But don’t feel too sad, because I think I know how I can cheer you up. Nothing warms me up on a bitterly cold day quite like delicious baked goods and caffeine, and I happen to know where you can treat yourself to both. Tous Les Jours has been on my radar ever since it opened and I finally got to visit for myself. I fully admit that I’m not tough to impress when it comes to pastries, but holy cow, this place lived up to the hype.

Where To Find The Best New York Style Pizza In Columbus 🍕
Listen, I love Columbus pizza as much as the next girl. I was raised on Johnny’s Pizza in the South End (if you know, you know) and I’m usually a square-cut exclusive kind of girl. But even I have to admit that this city has some damn good New York style spots. We’ve laid it all out for you, and if the croissants from Tous Les Jours weren’t enough to get your stomach grumbling, then this certainly will be. Bon Appetit, Columbus!

This lil’ dude looks so happy to see Columbus. I’d be smiling too if I had that view of Downtown. You can find him on the Main St, bridge!
