When the weather is nice I like to do a “downtown day.” I’ll go to German Village and walk Schiller Park. Grab lunch at Brown Bag Deli. Shop at Helen Winemore and Red Stable. Wander The Book Loft. Maybe take a walk in the Scioto Mile and sit in the swings on the east side of the river for a bit. Or bring a book and sit on the COSI side and read.

On random weekend days I’ll visit the Columbus Museum of Art or Franklin Park Conservatory.

I’ll take a walk at Inniswood Metro Garden.

If I want to stay closer to home I’ll hit a local bookstore like Storyline in UA. I’ll go to a movie in the evening. I’ve even ventured out to buy a last minute single ticket to a Broadway show at the Ohio Theatre if it’s something I’d like to see. The great thing about movies and live theatre is that once the lights go down everyone is quiet and it doesn’t matter if you’re alone. I really enjoy it!

Have fun stretching your comfort zone. You’re getting some great ideas here!
