What a cute area in Ohio! I stumbled upon this area when searching for things to do on Yelp. When I…read morewas planning to visit, I did not have any particular place in mind to visit; I just planning to stroll and pop into places if they looked enticing. We had our dog with us so we did not do an abundance of walking around. From what I saw, there were no places that welcomed pets in the businesses. It makes sense and it was no biggie, I just did not spend as much time as I would have if pets were welcome. I stopped into what I thought was a deli but more like a restaurant with a counter, hoping to purchase goodies for home. There are several stores for shopping, which were fun to browse. I only purchased some chocolates in a candy store, which apparently were made in house. I definitely want to visit here again with more research.

This is a lovely historic neighborhood just a couple miles south of downtown Columbus. If you have…read morea free afternoon and the weather is nice, it's well worth a visit to Schiller Park (dog-friendly with benches) which has a garden and statue dedicated to the German poet Schiller. I took COTA Bus #5 from downtown Columbus (Ohio Statehouse) and explored the area just north of the park. The brick houses and cobblestone alleyways provide a glimpse of life in the 1880s and early 1900s when this area became a central hub for the German-American community. I don't think there are too many kid-friendly activities or museums nearby - but it makes a pleasant excursion if you're stuck at the Convention Center for a conference in downtown Columbus. Street parking looked a bit challenging. If Bus #5 is running slow on your return trip from the German Village back to the downtown area (it can be up to a 30 minute wait if you just missed the last bus), consider taking an Uber/Lyft taxi instead.

Went to see a play at the Ohio Theater and parking was $5 whoo hoo! The man collecting money was…read morefriendly and helpful! This garage is easy to navigate and just across the street from the Ohio theater. We did have to walk up some stairs to get to the theater but it was not bad. Now if you can't walk up stairs then this might not be work for you because they are a bit steep. I'm not sure where the handicap exit was or if it is available. They do have several electric car charging parking spots if need that also.

I know, I know... everyone on planet earth complains about parking in the Short North, but in my…read morehonest opinion it's really not that bad, especially for being such a busy area of Columbus. If you've ever visited a larger city, you understand. Anyhoo, this parking garage is located right in the heart of the neighborhood, on the corner of Hubbard Ave and High St. It offers hourly rates that are pretty reasonable given the other options in the area. A few things to note. 1) They have a couple EV charging stations. 2) Hold on to your ticket because if you lose it, you'll be paying a hefty $65 dollars to get your car out. 3) You can pay either at the gate or before you get back in your car at a kiosk. Long story short, don't avoid this area of town because everyone says parking is a nightmare. You just need to know where to look... and Yelp can help with that!

I ran into Mikey's, had a slice, and left the lot in about half an hour. Paid one whole dollar. I had thought about popping into the Market for a stamp to save money, but that's not bad. I think it's $3 an hour. BUT: watch out for special events, generally on weekends. Can be up to $20 flat for the day, even if you are only there an hour. Decent sized lanes and spots. Decent signage. Usually a few spots open even when busy. Handy to the area in general. Clean. Attendant there sometimes, friendly and helpful.
