Columbus’ food scene features top-ranked chefs, a rich farm-to-table movement and one-of-a-kind restaurants. Columbus has consistently gained national recognition for its food scene in recent years, including head chef of Service Bar, Avishar Barua, competing on Season 18 of Top Chef in 2021. You’ll find more than 100 restaurants in walking distance of the convention center, with the largely local options ranging from fast-casual to fine-dining and everything in between. experiencecolumbus.com/restaurants

Columbus’ vibrant neighborhoods offer endless entertainment options. Collectively, these districts are referred to as the “Five on High,” as they sit on a five-mile stretch of High Street, the city’s main drag. Each neighborhood is packed with local restaurants, bars, clubs, boutiques, art galleries and more. Many of these popular locales are accessible on foot from the Greater Columbus Convention Center or by a short ride with Uber or Lyft. experiencecolumbus.com/neighborhoods
