Hello, Tuesday! Chelsea here.

Are we leaning into winter yet, or is it still denial season? Either way, today’s lineup is bringing the vibes. We’re talking about Ohio’s snowiest city (shoutout to Chardon for being an overachiever), some totally free museums you should check out, and the latest from Cameron Mitchell’s empire. Mitchell dominates the restaurant game, but now he’s taking on boutique hotels. His first-ever hotel is coming to Dublin’s Bridge Park, complete with dreamy dining spots, condos, and even a pool bar. It’s a vibe, and you’re gonna want to hear about it.
