Being home to national brands as well as smaller shops and multi-talented designers really give the Columbus fashion scene its personality.

Our Live for the First Bite itinerary, inspired in part by Joe Galat and Jacob Inscore of Comune restaurant, has mouthwatering tips for rediscovering (or finding for the first time) the city’s best and most unique eateries this summer.
