Hello, Tuesday! Chelsea here.

I absolutely adore when other people come to Columbus and find out what I’ve known all along: that we truly have some of the best restaurants in the country right here in the 614. Bon Appétit has released its list of the Best New Restaurants of 2024 and the Columbus restaurant that made the list won’t surprise anyone. I can’t think of a more deserving restaurant, chef, and staff for such an honor. If you haven’t had a chance to dine there yet, you better make a reservation fast, because their popularity is only going to increase after this!

🌳 The Most Vital Columbus Parks You Need To Visit That Aren’t Metro Parks
I’m as obsessed with Columbus and Franklin County Metro Parks as anyone could possibly be. But just in case you didn’t realize it, they aren’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!

🏡 These Bungalows In Hocking Hills Overlook A Stunning Sandstone Swimming Hole
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 it’s even better than you’re imagining.
