The Happy Greek

Solid gyros. A great option for carry out in the Short North. They also keep decent beer on tap for dining in.
Great pizza, about the right size for one person. Loved that the menu had plenty of unique selections to choose from. The chicken and avacado pizza was excellent.
The service was good, and our food came out fairly quickly.
My only complain is that with tight seating arrangements and low ceiling the place can get fairly noisy.

Hotel Lombardy

This is our preferred hotel when staying DC. It's a small hotel, but the rooms are extremely nice and much more comfortable than your average Hilton or Holiday Inn.
I'm not sure if they hand operated elevators are still there, as they were beginning to convert them over last time I was there.
The location is what makes this place so great. Across the street from GWU bars,about 6 blocks south of Dupont Circle, and a short walk to both the Foggy Bottom and Farragut West Metro stations.
This is a great place to stay if you want to see museums during the day and have a lot of options for going out in the evening.

Aab India Restaurant
Category:
Indian
Neighborhood: Grandview Heights
Went here for Dinner on a Friday night. Fantastic Indian food. The chicken tikka masala was excellent, and the naan was exceptional as well.
The service was average, but nothing to complain about.
I'd put this on par with Taj Mahal up near OSU, though Aab gets points for having a better parking situation and a nicer atmosphere.

Breakfast & Brunch
Neighborhoods: Italian Village, Short North
Went here for coffee and a very late breakfast on a Sunday. The place is surprisingly big with lots of seating, which I wasn't expecting from the size of the storefront. Really dug the large tables and free wifi, I could see this being a good alternative to some of the other coffee shops in the Short North.
My latte was good, even though I was a bit shocked when it came out in a soup bowl pretending to the be a cup.
My wife got the biscuits and gravy, and from the few bites I stole, thumbs up. Well done Tasi.
The only thing keeping me from giving this a 4th star was that I felt the prices were high. But you'll have that in this neighborhood.

Urban Active
Category:
Gyms
Neighborhood: Grandview Heights
I've been at this gym for about 6 months now, since it opened, and really enjoy it.
They've recently added new classes in 2011, and added a lot more spin classes to alleviate the consistently booked classes.
The pool, while only 18m, is nice, and they've done a decent job keeping the temperature regulated and the area clean.
I've just started a training session to prepare for a triathlon, and if you do some research and take you time to make a decision it's worthwhile.
The trainers will ask you every once in awhile if you've considered training, but I've not found them pushy or aggressive like I have at other gyms.
Overall I can recommend Urban Active without hesistation. It has its ups and downs just like any other large gym, but 6 months in and the staff seems to be doing a good job at making the place somewhere I want to go work out.

American (New)
Neighborhood: Worthington
Went here for lunch on the Friday after thankgiving. The vibe is very nice, quiet, and relaxed. We had good service, and our waitress was able to offer some helpful recommendations.
The four of us enjoyed our meals, and the carrot soup seemed to be a favorite.
This place also makes their own bread, which was very good. We were happy when the waitress brought out a 2nd basket with more of their homemade cheese spread.
Expect about $18 per person for lunch, but I found the quality of the food and service worth the price.

Loved that Menchies was simple. One size to choose from, and then you get to make you own, and it's priced by weight.
Plenty of flavors to choose from, and the flavors are paired well so the options for swirl are good.
Tons of toppings and syrups to choose from, I'd also recommend figuring out your toppings first, or your frozen yogurt will start get melty.
If you want ice cream, go to Jeni's, if you want good frozen yogurt, go here.

Went here to watch the Columbus Crew game, and enjoyed ourselves.
The Good:
* Our hostess saw our Crew jerseys and made sure we were seated close to one of the flat screens with the game on.
* The beer selection on tap is great, not just the standard Guinness and Harp that most Irish pubs have.
* The food, while a bit heavy, was very tasty.
The not so good:
* I'm not sure if our server had too many tables, but there were times I was waiting way too long for another beer.

Sushi Bars
Neighborhood: Upper Arlington
I've been searching for a good sushi place in Columbus, and I agree with the other reviews that Akai Hana is the best I've found so far.
Three of us got the sushi roll boat, and I thought the variety and quality of the sushi was great. We left absolutely stuffed and happy with how good the rolls were for being in the midwest.
We sat at the Sushi Bar and received excellent service, and the chefs were a lot of fun to talk to.
