What a great way to discover lots of amazing short north restaurants. Andy, our tour guide, was knowledgeable and engaging. The quality and quantity of food was excellent. I highly recommend this tour for people who live in the Columbus area and tourists as well.

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.

Departure Point

  • Your group will meet inside at the northwest corner of the market (near the Park St & Spruce St entrance, by Lan Viet), where you’ll see your tour guide holding an orange ‘Columbus Food Adventures’ logo clipboard. The tour will start promptly at 11am, please arrive 10 minutes early to check in.

Great food tour of Columbus Short North area! We are new to Columbus and wanted to learn more about this district. We really enjoyed this tour, which started at the North Market and then out to some of the restaurants, etc. Our fav was the Hot Chicken Takeover, whose work with the community is inspiring! We learned a bit about the history and tasted several delicious food offerings. We had fantastic weather and the walking was all flat and very easy. Parking was simple in the garage by North market and was validated for discounted rate. Highly recommend and we are looking forward to doing other of their tours. The group was ~10 and very manageable.

Delicious food and great host! And a crazy variety of foods - cheese to chicken wings and sour kraut balls to fine food to ice cream!

We took this tour with our son and daughter-in-law, who just moved to the area, and it was such a wonderful experience. Our guide, Abby, was absolutely fantastic—so friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable. The food portions were generous, delicious, and offered a great variety. We also loved learning more about Columbus while getting the chance to explore an art gallery and admire some beautiful murals along the way. Pro tips: They validate part of your parking if you use the garage near the Short North Market. We happened to book on a game day, which ended up being a happy accident—it turned into a private tour just for the four of us! Highly recommend this tour for both locals and visitors.

I was visiting Columbus for three days and booked the Short North food walking tour as an activity for Friday August 1st. The tour guide Andy Herbert was very knowledgeable and entertaining and made the tour very fun. Got to taste different foods that I never had before that were very tasty. We started out in the marketplace and then went outside to other places. I learned about Cameron Mitchell hotels and eateries. We walked about the Short North arts area stopping at places to taste their food. We ate enough to be quite satisfied as a lunch and finished up at the ice cream shop. It was a great tour and I thank Andy for being so attentive to this small group of seven.
