Columbus<\/a> is known for three things\u2026the state capital of Ohio, the U.S.\u2019s largest college campus at Ohio State University, and an All-American city. So that makes it a really cool place to visit. Here you\u2019ll discover trendy neighborhoods, fabulous restaurants, cool shops, and plenty of outdoor recreation just an hour away. And oh yeah, get in on the granddaddy of 4th<\/sup> of July celebrations at Red, White, and Boom!<\/p>\n

Go, Buckeyes!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Drive through Ohio State University, it\u2019s humongous with a student body population of 65,000! Check out where the Buckeyes play football and basketball. \u00a0But more than sports, Ohio State offers lots of cultural venues. I stopped by the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum, the largest cartoon library in the U.S. See original and printed comic strips, editorial cartoons, and cartoon art. Their current exhibit shows cartoons combating racism in America. Also, be sure to visit the Wexner Center of the Arts right across the way.<\/p>\n

Good reason why this restaurant has been named “the best breakfast in Columbus.” Other options include Breakfast Chick ‘Wich and Mexican French Toast.
