My wife and I stayed one night while we visited our daughter at OSU. We arrived a 1/2 hour late for happy hour, but we were still graciously extended a drink on the great back porch. I had a beer and my wife had the best "Manhattan" she's had in years. The upstairs room was perfect.
I ran 5 miles early the next morning on the Olentangy River Trail and when I got back, breakfast was already set out for us.
After we left, we browsed a couple shops in Clintonville. I think I might like this area better than the Short North or German Village.
I hope Russell, Douglas and their two great dogs have us back on our next visit!
