Short North food walking tour in Columbus

“The food tour in Columbus' Short North District was truly memorable, filled with delightful surprises and meaningful experiences. We began with surprisingly delicious spicy chicken from Hot Chicken Takeover, enhanced by the manager's story. At Black Radish Creamery, I was won over by the pimento cheese and got an insightful glimpse into cheesemaking. The journey continued with flavorful dumplings from Momo Ghar, a satisfying Somali sambusa from Hoyos Kitchen, and the enticing scent from the spice booth. Our guide Ash brought us to The Guild House, followed by a perfect slice of vegan coffee cake and iced chai from Park Service Coffee, and a standout falafel plate from Brassica. We concluded at Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams, sampling flavors before indulging in two generous scoops. Each stop was not only about great food, but also rich in heart, culture, and personality—thanks to Ash, whose energy, expertise, and passion for the city transformed a simple tasting tour into an experience I wholeheartedly recommend.”— alexsG3459PO on the Short North food walking tour in Columbus tour
