Hello, Tuesday! Chelsea here.

I absolutely adore when other people come to Columbus and find out what Iā€™ve known all along: that we truly have some of the best restaurants in the country right here in the 614. Bon AppĆ©tit has released its list of the Best New Restaurants of 2024 and the Columbus restaurant that made the list wonā€™t surprise anyone. I canā€™t think of a more deserving restaurant, chef, and staff for such an honor. If you havenā€™t had a chance to dine there yet, you better make a reservation fast, because their popularity is only going to increase after this!

šŸŒ³ The Most Vital Columbus Parks You Need To Visit That Arenā€™t Metro Parks
Iā€™m as obsessed with Columbus and Franklin County Metro Parks as anyone could possibly be. But just in case you didnā€™t realize it, they arenā€™t the only ones with fantastic parks around here! There are some truly beautiful, non-Metro parks around the city, and you should check them out while the weather is still gorgeous!

When you think about private, oasis-like swimming holes with modern bungalows nearby, you might not immediately think of Ohio. But the most delightful little spot awaits you down in Hocking Hills, and itā€™s even better than youā€™re imagining.
