Samson's also sell a variety of high quality clothing - much of which I haven't seen in any other stores. This is a great place if you're looking to purchase high quality threads at reasonable prices.

You could have yourself a little candle making party. We wanted to get a fun smelling candle. I could not believe I was smelling tomato leaf candles. They literally sent you.

Very nice little shop with paper, cards, pens, etc. Some reasonably priced, some much more expensive but more professional. A good selection, for a kid or an adult. The cards were very cool. You could make your own at a table near the back. There were also journals and notebooks, etc. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Parking is typical Short North. I'm sure we will be back.

The store could use a little more inventory, but the styling of the shop and craftsmanship of the items that the owner procures are very nice. Not local stuff but unique international artisan wares- Italian glassware, Portuguese linens, handcrafted candles, and many other beautiful contemporary things. It is nice to see interesting retail shops opening downtown.

Online buyers beware... What I saw online was not what I…read moregot. While the bag was authentic, it was not unused. Here's what I suspect (and I say "suspect" because customer service never explained): the bag was on display in the store for a prolonged period of time and suffered sun damage. Was there any indication of discoloration in the product description? Nope. It's actually appalling, the damage is so bad. Like over $350-for-a-redye bad. Thankfully, even though the item was final sale, customer service did rectify the situation with a full refund. I'm so sad though...that behno bag is sold out everywhere. I hope Rowe reexamines how they handle delicate merchandise like suede so that the quality isn't compromised. I would've expected higher standards from an upscale boutique.

I thought since this was the second one of the season, things would be happening by 10:30 when I arrived, but there wasn't as much going on as imagined. Of course, this month's happened to the same Saturday as multiple city wide events going on around town so people have to pick their choices of events they want to go to, I was just a bit surprised. Venders were nicely spread out. A mix of things from jewelry to pet outfits, to baked goods, to candles, body soaps, and fragrances. There were a few food trucks and a coffee cart, a good selection for the day. I really hope this market only continues to grow, as it's a great spot in an empty parking lot in the heart of downtown.

I am absolutely shocked that the SN Gallery Hop hasn't been reviewed in 3+ years! While this year…read morethey obviously had to pivot and go virtual, this art hop is just one of the many things that makes this neighborhood so special. I'm currently really missing the hustle and bustle on High St. that occurs on this first Saturday of the month celebration. Between musicians busking on the street to the art galleries opening their doors and the creative works that come out of the artists in our beautiful city, it's pure magic. A lot of the bars and restaurants will also have specials and fun promotions going on. It's my favorite to simply walk up and down the sidewalk, admiring the fun. I used to have a studio and participate in an art walk in my hometown of Zanesville and I really miss being on the artist side of things. That being said, I'm glad Columbus celebrates art all year around. I can't wait until the in-real-life hops start up again. I can only imagine the artwork that came out of the year that was 2020.

You know, that feeling of been there, done that, over it, ugh. But this time, a group of us made our way from a Kentucky Derby party down to the Gallery hop with a friend who had never been before. It was refreshing to see the Hop through the eyes of a newbie! And it definitely sparked my enthusiasm in the event again! We got down there fairly late (and so full of food and alcohol from the party) so we didn't stay long - just long enough to walk from the Cap to the White Castle, cross over, and walk back, all whilst stopping at a few shops and galleries. Its definitely much more fun in the warmer weather and I'm so glad that Columbus has decided to come out hibernation! Even though we didn't have a whole night of things planned, it was a fun outing. I prefer to make an evening of it. Getting dinner (pick a restaurant, any restaurant, they are all fun), doing a little shopping (window shopping most of the time!), after dinner coffee at Impero (http://www.yelp.com/biz/impero-coffee-roasters-columbus), *drool* any and all flavors at Jeni's *drool* (http://www.yelp.com/biz/jenis-ice-creams-columbus-2), and then a bit of alcoholic libation. I've never had any trouble finding parking since I realized I could park over at Goodale Park and walk. You gotta burn off that ice cream you know...
