Two very different places. Sweet Carrot is a counter service place with decent barbeque, but not the best I've had. The Avenue is a more upscale steakhouse. There are better steakhouses in Columbus, but it's good. There are better options on Grandview Avenue in my opinion like Z Cucina or Spagio.

Best steak is Jeff Ruby's, but it will cost you a body part. Nice value steak at Gallo's Kitchen & Matt & Tony's.
Hey everyone! Coming to town for the Arnold classic next weekend and staying across the street from the convention center. Someone recommended we go to a bakery in German town. Would anyone know where about German town is and is it far outside the city? Thanks!
German Village is approx 1-2 miles south of the convention center. There are a few bakeries in the area, so not sure which one you’re looking for, although Bake Me Happy and Pistacia Vera are good. Juergens bakery was well known there for 50 years but closed a couple years ago.

Pistachio Vera is great as is Fox in the Snow, who has the best egg breakfast sandwich along with pastries
Somehow, it looks like this every time
....damn I'm hungry

With all the 'Rona nonsense going on I never came back to post my AAR of my STL - Detroit - Columbus road trip.
Had an absolute blast. Met some good and interesting people, enjoyed some long country drives, saw a hoarder's house that was overflowing with garbage, only had the car breakdown once. Ended up going to Sweet Carrot (didn't have time for steakhouse after the car incident) and the food was very good. Serving size looked small, but was deceptive in that it was very filling. I love the parking at Nationwide Arena as well as the ticket prices - if I lived in the area I would 100% buy season tickets.
The game was amazing and most of the fans were really cool. The only downsides are the total lack of legroom in the lower bowl (what is this, a stadium for ants?) and this fat old drunk lady who could not STFU for more than 10 seconds at a time for the second half of the game and had to scream everything she said.
I also liked the NationWide VIP lounge area for employees and the four seats crammed into the boards between the benches. My goal is to try to get my hands on some of those tickets for my next trip. I will definitely be going back.
Shout outs to Perrysburg PD, Midas on Woodville RD, Enterprise rent-a-car, nice Uber lady, Billy the toothless tow truck driver, and Megan the Applebees waitress for giving my buddy and I a road trip to remember.

Every time I pass by Riverside/161 I cannot comprehend how different that entire area looks.

After a dozen or so years here, I am finally going to the Zoo Saturday.
Potential new chant for the Fifth line:
Tune: Allez Allez Allez
We've conquered all of America
We're never going to stop
From Toronto down to Tampa
We've won the f***ing lot
Nummelin and Nutivaara
The ice of Nationwide
We are loyal season ticket holders
And we come from Palos de la Frontera
Allez! Allez! Allez!

On a side note, I don't like this statement from the article.
“As we’re experiencing unprecedented demand for housing in central Ohio, we need to be diligent in working together to reduce the regulatory burdens on our builders,” stated Michael Jones, 2021 President, Columbus REALTORS®. “Given that each new home built adds 2.9 jobs and $130k in tax revenue, it is in our best interest to do so.”
I translate this to be, "we want home builders to be able to build faster by cutting corners so we can charge more to sell something of lesser quality."

I'm in DC, so might have to go a'huntin' for that Virginia location...
