Short North Walking Food Tour

Take a leisurely stroll with us through Columbus’ hip Short North and savor its culinary delights. More than just an arts district and home to the monthly Gallery Hop—a famous downtown Columbus event—the Short North also boasts a wealth of dining and shopping opportunities. The Short North is packed full of Columbus’ best restaurants, boutiques, bistros, and nightlife. This local food and walking tour is designed to show off some of the best that the Short North and Columbus have to offer. We’ll start at the North Market, Columbus’ historic public market, where we’ll meet some of the local food vendors and learn the history of the building. We will then stop at neighborhood eating establishments, sampling some of their signature dishes, and hearing their stories. Stops will include some neighborhood favorites, and some highly regarded new additions including Brassica, Jeni’s Ice Creams and The Guild House.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the walking food tour in Short North?

A: There isn't a strict age limit, but it's more suitable for adults and older teens. I'd say kids under 12 might not enjoy it as much since they may not appreciate the food. Plus, some spots may not be kid-friendly. Definitely best for foodies and those who can walk a bit!

Q: What should I wear for the Short North food tour?

A: Comfortable shoes are a must since you'll be doing a fair bit of walking. Dress casually, like jeans and a nice shirt. If the weather looks sketchy, maybe bring a light jacket. Layers are a good idea, especially since we have unpredictable weather in Ohio!

Q: Can I reschedule the Short North walking food tour if needed?

A: Yes, you can reschedule! Just make sure to give them at least 24 hours notice. Columbus Food Adventures is pretty flexible with that, but it’s best to check their policy when booking. They’ll try to accommodate your new date as much as possible.

Thinking about the Short North Food Tour as a gift; any thoughts?

I’m considering gifting the Short North Walking Food Tour for my sister’s birthday. She loves trying new foods and exploring Columbus. Do you think it’s worth it? I heard they include stops at places like Jeni's Ice Cream and Brassica, which she adores! Would love any insights from those who've gone!

Anyone else addicted to Jeni's Ice Cream after the food tour?

Did the Short North Walking Food Tour last weekend, and OMG, I can't stop thinking about that Jeni’s Ice Cream stop! The flavors were unreal, and the whole tour was a delightful experience. Best part? Learning the history behind the North Market. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone!
