Wow. There's so much to do here.

Try catching a minor league baseball game, the Columbus Clippers. They have a home game tonight at 7:05pm.

If you truely feel like stuffing yourself, you can grab a 3/4 lb burger at Thurmans Cafe, on Thurman Ave. off of High street, south of downtown in the area called German Village. The burgers there are HUGE, but very good. Once you're done there, grab a beer on the open air patio of Planks Bier Garten, on the corner of High and Whittier, just a few blocks north. There's also a nice park in that area, but i forgot the name, anyone around there could tell you and point you in the right direction.

Downtown, in the arena district (because it's by Nationwide Arena) there is Frog Bear and Wild Boar, no live band is listed tonight, but it's a happening place. Or try Brothers, Lodge Bar, or Victorys. Brothers and Lodge Bar are the most likely spots for dancing. Also, by Lodge Bar, there's a blues place, although i haven't experienced it myself yet.

Or, you could go a bit NE of the city to Easton, a large open-air mall, it's a very popular place to go. Do some window shopping or have a bite to eat at one of the many nice restraunts. Catch a comedy show at the Funny Bone while you're there.

Try checking out the Ohio State campus area, just north of downtown. There's lots of bars in that area. Ugly Tuna Saloon is on the south end of campus and is featuring Chris Logsdon tonight. He's a local folk singer who puts on a GREAT show. I can almost guarantee some dancing there.

For something a little more educational you could check out one of our two art museums. The first one is the Wexner Center, which is on Ohio State, and features modern art. Or there's the municipal art museum closer to downtown.

Head to the Short North (the fancy area between downtown and Campus) and do the "gallery hop." Stop in the many shops and art boutiques, grab a bite at some of the bistros.

I could come up with more, but i should probably get back to work. I hope this gives you some ideas of what to do. Whatever you decide, i hope you enjoy your time here.
