<p>As far as restaurants–two that we like to go to are The Cap City Diner at 1299 Olentangy River Road, and Champps at 1827 Olentangy River Road–a good variety of foods–salads, burgers etc. A fun place to go to is The North Market–59 Spruce Street–on the corner of Park and Spruce, one block off High Street, across from the Convention Center. They have lots of individual shops–pizza, crepes, BBQ, Jeni’s ice cream, bakeries, etc–with places set-up to eat–it’s fun. That part of High Street–the Short North–has lots of nice shops.</p>
<p>German Village.off of High Street is a very interesting neighborhood to drive around–old brick roads, cute stores, bakeries, restaurants, etc. I really like going to The Book Loft at 631 Third street–a great place to poke around. Lindy’s is a nice restaurant there that we enjoy. Thurmans Cafe and Schmidt’s Fudge House have both been featured on Food Network</p>
<p>If you are on campus–go to the main library, and go to the reading room on the 11th floor where you get great views of the campus. Stop at the desk on the first floor and get a guide to all of the language tiles. Check out the following link:</p>

<p>There is also the Cartoon Library and Museum on campus, if you are interested in that:

<p>If you like shopping, I agree that Easton Mall is a good choice.</p>
