Four String Brewing Co.

I think Four String's Backstage Blonde is a GREAT beer - I'm not as crazy about the Brass Knuckle APA. I am, however, crazy for more local breweries, and can't wait to see what other styles Dan brews up! You can buy and refill growlers at the brewery during set hours on Tues/Thurs evenings which is awesome. No tasting room yet, because Ohio has ridiculous laws around these things, so write angry letters to your state representative or something. The beer is available right now in Grandview at BW3's and Brazenhead and also at Bodega.

Huffman's is a liquor store masquerading as a neighborhood market. Actually, it's a pretty sweet market, too. Hmm. Food + liquor (and a good wine and beer selection to boot)... I wonder if they'll rent me an aisle to live in.

ALSO ALSO ALSO. They have a model train that drives around the perimeter of the store. So, compete with that, all other grocery stores.

Look, the beer was delicious and Late Night Slice is always a good choice, but all I'm gonna say is me and Luke T were having a blast belting "Livin' on a Prayer" in Rock Band, because nothing screams rock n' roll like some Jon Bon, when someone audibly remarked "Ugh, I spent hours working on this playlist."

Regardless... kickass party, Christina :)

I decided to have a Tom Haverford-style "treat yo self" day so I scheduled a mani, pedi and my second-ever facial (insert twelve year old sense of humor here) at Nurtur. Dude. DUUUUUDE. That facial was the best hour of my life. I intend to make this a quarterly thing and I suggest you do, too. They give the full magical facial experience - shoulder, neck and foot massages, good-smelling stuff smeared on your face in between hot towels... mmm...

FYI, I got the Enbrightenment Facial in an attempt to even out my face. I didn't really notice much of a difference in my very uneven skin tone, but I left so relaxed and moisturized that I don't really care.

    I've been here for nail and hair services and had positive experiences with both. The first time was for a pedicure and I filled out the survey I was emailed afterwards giving them, I though, decent reviews, but apparently they don't like to get less than rave reviews because they emailed me back a 20% off my next service coupon to "apologize" and ask me to "give them a second chance." Well, ok. Hence the return visit for hair.

    I dig the ambiance of the place and the convenient location - Columbus has  tendency to hide spas in off-the-path places.

    My hairstylist and colorist, Jaclyn, is awesome. OH, and bonus, instead of sitting with your neck in an uncomfortable position when it's time for shampoo, you get to lay in a bed and get a facial while your conditioner sets. I mean, that's just the best 10 minutes of your life.

This store is like Candyland for people who love home decor and random tiny objects. And also candy, because they sell that, too.

Good food and a convenient takeout menu. And conveniently located half a mile from my house. That doesn't help you, probably, but it helps me.

Also, my boss and I counted 9 different styles of light fixtures here. You know you're gonna count next time you go.

I've enjoyed two delicious dinners here now - one being the bachelorette party that Kristen R mentioned in her review (MY bachelorette party), during which they were exceptionally accommodating to a large party on short notice, and the other being a date with the husband (a few months after the bachelorette party, obviously.) Both times I enjoyed great food and even better service, and I can't wait to come back to do it again! Though I should have took the waiters advice and skipped the quattro formagio flatbread, it fell... well... flat.

Aab is soooooo good.

I've been here a few times now, enjoying both their lunch buffet and dinner. I'm not ballsy enough to eat anything above a "2" on the 1-6 spicy scale, but my 1 and 2 dishes are still packed with flavor. Chicken Saag is my favorite and it's just.... omg I'm, hungry thinking about it. Aab, anyone?

Get there before 7 and enjoy half-off appetizers! And don't forget to order some delicious nan (garlic is bomb)

I think this store is kind of a lot of amazing. Whether I want scrapbooking and crafting stuff, holiday decorations, home furnishings or, you know, that random little box or basket or bowl or tchotchke that I have no use for but LOOK HOW LITTLE AND CHEAP IT IS! - Hobby Lobby is my place.

I don't think I've ever had Korean food before I came here for a quick lunch on a recent work trip to Philly, but man, if it's all as good as this place was, I might need to diversify my eating habits. I had the Signature Bibimbop which was exceptionally tasty and served in a stone bowl that kept everything sizzling (I burnt my mouth a lot and I was ok with that.) The rice that's been cooking the entire time at the bottom of the bowl is like a rice cookie and a wonderful way to end the meal!
