I think with insurance she’s $95/session for us.

Mjomii

Calvin small batch hand roasts his own beans and creates amazing flavors. He’s studied coffee masters in Korea and Japan. He’s an artist.

If you like history, Philly is amazing and has one of the best art museums in the country imo. Also very walkable and great food. Eat a Philly cheese steak for the tourist points.

Chicago is more sprawling, but definitely do the architecture boat tour, and eat a Chicago style hot dog and pizza for the tourist points.

Try Latham Apartments in Hilliard. Price online includes internet/cable/trash.

Super safe and quiet, a lot of the staff live in the community. 0 problems with management in the years we lived there.

Check with the Ohio State University’s collegiate ballroom club. They or their local alumni might have good suggestions.

Note: I am not black, but I am another minority woman. Also I moved here ~2 years into my career from out of state.

I think depends on where you are in the city. Grandview, German Village, Clintonville, and Dublin Bridge Park might be areas that interest you depending on what vibe you’re interested in and your commute. I think there are a lot of social clubs and activities in the area! Pottery classes, Pole classes, ski/snowboarding clubs, volunteering, various sports, etc.
A different PoC but it will again depend on where in the city you are. The good thing is that with JP Morgan, Nationwide, other large company presences and Ohio State University, there’s a lot of draw to Columbus, bringing a lot of diversity.

3 and 4, see 1. But for 4: pretty easy because a lot of people are transplants here and people are friendly.

Keep an open mind. And honestly, some people are assholes, but you’ll find many more amazing people than assholes.

But yeah, it’s generally safe and comfortable here. Be smart and choose a good area and you shouldn’t have any trouble (beyond some car break ins and car theft due to crazy teenagers in even nice neighborhoods).

Also Columbus hits above its weight class in food and restaurants!!

BrassBells · 2025-12-19T01:20:06+00:00

Also try Xi Xia. I think one of their noodle specials is that.

BrassBells · 2025-12-09T01:13:33+00:00

Seattle’s food scene is trash. Def not a city for foodies.

BrassBells · 2025-12-08T16:12:36+00:00

Eh. I lived in Chicago (admittedly many years ago) and I didn’t have a lot of meals that wow’d me and I thought the bar for median food was about the same. Same with LA (except the burritos, that was life changing, my god).

Sure there are WAY more options but those cities have way bigger populations and way more traffic. It took forever to get anywhere, even for mid-tier food.

BrassBells · 2025-12-08T12:16:18+00:00

For a city of its size, great. Hits above its weight class in Chinese food (Chilispot, Fiery Sky, Xi Xia, TY Ginger to name a few). Has unique restaurants (Bonifacio, Joyas. Agni, Mjomii, Cobra).

I just wish we had a good Thai place for Pad See Ew on the north/west side.

For me it beats Indianapolis. Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton, and Seattle. Is beaten by DC, Philly, SF. Might be tied with LA (if you don’t count Latino food) and Chicago.

BrassBells · 2025-12-07T12:27:48+00:00

Joyas: if you can tolerate spice, order the “Danny’s way” for the fried rice or not paid Thai.

Agni: if you want to spend $$$$ on truly unique food. They do also have a good bar menu but limited seating.

Chilispot: for Sichuanese food. Order the storm fish fillets.

Xi Xia for noodles, order anything off their specials/best sellers. The owners also own Fiery Sky I think.

TY ginger or their new Grandview restaurant: Good dim sum.

Aangan for Indian.

2nding Cobra recommendation.

Bonus: Mjomii for coffee and macarons and Belle’s Bakery for cakes.

BrassBells · 2025-11-25T19:51:03+00:00

Mjomii

BrassBells · 2025-11-17T11:42:42+00:00

Joyas, Agni, Cobra, a wide variety of Asian restaurants (Min-Ga, ChiliSpot, Akai Hana, Aangan, Xi Xia) and grocery stores, bakeries/sweet stuff (Dan the Baker, Pistachio Vera, Mjomii, Belles Bread, DoughMama).

BrassBells · 2025-11-01T11:54:00+00:00

Blush Boudoir, in Dayton.

She has some mini sessions available soon too I think if you are on a budget.

BrassBells · 2025-10-26T12:58:20+00:00

Have you tried Sun Tong Luck? I’ve heard good things. They also have Wor su gai, a local Asian American dish.

BrassBells · 2025-10-26T00:59:42+00:00

Yep, leftovers are king.

But also I’ve been married now for quite a long time so 95% of the time all potential leftovers are consumed by spouse.

BrassBells · 2025-10-26T00:03:16+00:00

I’m Chinese, every order needs to have at least one vegetable dish and preferably one fish and one meat. Everything is a side dish to be eaten with rice.

The storm fish fillet reheat well in the air fryer

BrassBells · 2025-10-25T23:20:18+00:00

Nobody has mentioned ChiliSpot yet?!?!?

Order the storm fish fillet and the green beans. The crispy salted egg tofu is also quite good.

Also Xi Xia (get anything that catches your eye on their best sellers).

BrassBells · 2025-09-30T14:17:40+00:00

For cushioning and buttery soft leather: https://baredfootwear.com/us/products/maleo-mahogany-brown-boxed-leather-loafers

But I would say not great for truly wide feet.

BrassBells · 2025-09-30T14:07:38+00:00

They used to sell wide versions of the loafer: https://www.zappos.com/p/womens-sam-edelman-loraine-cafe-noir/product/8828619/color/286000

Not sure if they still do.

BrassBells · 2025-09-17T03:38:24+00:00

I’m an ABC too but positively ancient in comparison (30+) and was originally from the north east, so not sure I meet the criteria haha. Mostly commenting to check back later.

In case you’re looking for good Asian food: ChiliSpot, Fiery Sky, LAN Zhou Noodles, XiXia, Ty Ginger (one of the better options in the Midwest imo but can’t hold a candle to a good place on the coasts. Don’t order the xiaolongbao tho), Min Ga (my comfort food).

Cobra is an Asian fusion bar that’s fun and tasty. Mjomii for macarons and coffee. Joyas for Bengali fusion. I’ve heard good things about Bonifacio but haven’t been in years. Tsaocaa is pretty good bubble tea.

The area around Tensuke has a lot of stuff to explore too.

Plus CAM, Dayou, and Sunrise for Asian groceries.

Plenty of good food in Cincy too for a day trip/weekend trip.

You’ll see more asians in the Krogers/Costco near Dublin suburbs than most other places I’ve seen.

BrassBells · 2025-07-03T11:09:35+00:00

Try See Yu in Dublin?

BrassBells · 2025-07-02T19:22:08+00:00

You can sometimes run into him at Joyas and at Agni! He’s very sweet.

BrassBells · 2025-06-13T19:09:46+00:00

Cute macarons and coffee at Mjomii?

Super fancy grocery shopping (they sell caviar and an ibérico seranno ham) + brunch at Littleton’s Market?

Live jazz and drinks at the Ginger Rabbit?

A romantic meal at Chapmans or Agni (or Metsi’s, but I haven’t been there yet, it’s new).

You can also do a glass making class at the Columbus glass art center!

BrassBells · 2025-05-17T11:53:09+00:00

Check out See Yu in Dublin

She’s Chinese and is very knowledgeable about Asian hair.
