This is the best greasy spoon breakfast in Columbus. It's fast, cheap, delicious, and right downstairs from my apartment. It's a small place so there can sometimes be a wait - however, it's never been more than 15 minutes. Note: They open at 6:30am and close at 2:30pm.

This is an iconic Jewish deli that has been around for a long time. The sheer amount of sandwiches and other treats they have is dizzying. There's some outdoor seating, and you must try the cherry kugel!

Local Cantina is a nice, laid back spot with decent tacos, an awesome beer list, and serve-yourself chips & salsa. Sometimes people watch sports there, if you're into that kind of thing.

I love this place. Their coffee is delicious, and the baristas are always really nice. There's just a great, laid back vibe. See also: lots of tables and a bright, airy space.

Pretty good coffee, artsy vibe. The music is always great. It can get a little loud in there due to the acoustics and lots of regulars, but other times it's nice and quiet. Plus: cheap made to order sandwiches!

One block away from the apartment, and absolutely lovely. There's a playground, trails, a pond, lots of ducks and geese, and big old trees. Not to be missed on a nice day. In the summer, they do free plays at night: http://www.theactorstheatre.org/2016_season.html
