As we slowly creep into Fall months, Summer temperatures are starting to dwindle in Columbus, the itch to enjoy patios drenched in warmth, stroll through golden hour sunsets and slurp every last drop of another Ohio Summer hasn’t been fully banished from my mindful musings every weekend. Despite my wishful thinking of an endless Summer, Fall has arrived and that means football, apple picking, pumpkin flavored everything and stilllllll some warm patio hangs despite the dipping temperatures. Fall is one of the BEST seasons to stroll through Columbus. Anyone else love the sweatshirt and sandal combo as much as I do?

What is better than cruising a single street, and finding everything you need to eat, drink and be merry?Ohio State Saturdays or NFL Sundays, when you ask the crew, where are we watching the game? I have a whole list of options for you, all found on one single street, right here in Ohio’s capital city! Whether you want to classify them as Summer or Fall, there’s a lot of beautiful days left to enjoy before we feel the harsh winds of winter. I’ve teamed up with Ohio. Find it Here to share all things South to North on 4th – my favorite Street in Columbus.

I adore the quaint, art inspired and trendy sidewalks of Columbus’s Short North Arts District. I don’t want to take anything away from all that High Street adds to our city. But there’s another excellent contender in Columbus for where to spend your OSU game days and Sunday fundays.
