It’s no secret - the Columbus crowd loves to eat. We’re so good at it, in fact, that many dining outlets use us a test market. Our taste buds are important! And they deserve to be treated well. We found out a few places that  have added some new options so make sure to stop by and to test them out.

1. Throughout the summer months, stop by The Patio at Ohio Statehouse for a Sweet Treats Pop Up Series. Graze Seasonal Market will collaborate with local vendors to offer unique seasonal treats on their full-service patio. You’ll find treats from some of Columbus’ most popular up-and-coming cool treat concepts. Cool. Graze operates the patio Monday-Friday beginning at 11:30 a.m. 


2. Hills Market Downtown knows that Fridays call for special fare. Stop by $15 Fridays each week in June to celebrate summer with picnic fare paired with summery white wines, red wines and beer. For just $15, you get to 10 samples of beer and wine, plus plenty to munch on. You must nab your tickets ahead of times, or the price goes up to $20 at the door. 


3. Pure Pressed is the place to go for delicious, nutritious juices and cleanses. But if you are looking for something with more substance (that maybe even requires a little chewing) they have a new grab-n-go menu with salads, sandwiches, smoothies (no chewing needed) and more. And if you want, they are more than happy to give you a sample to try. 


4. Looking for a new spot to nab a breakfast treat? Elia Athenian Grill is now serving breakfast, daily from 7:30 - 10:30 a.m. The menu offers some delicious options from a yogurt parfait to a breakfast pita to loukoumadas, which are Greek street food donuts. Yes, please.
