The New York Post recently listed Columbus as one of its top five destinations, alongside spots like Budapest and Venice. From the article:
"There's a reason why travel is so great. Never was that so clear as the steamy mid-summer evening spent wandering in Columbus' German Village.
The name warns of kitsch around the corner, but this actually turns out to be one of the most atmospheric old city neighborhoods in North America. Coastal types pay good money to live in districts that only come close to approaching the charm and scale of this elegant neighborhood crowded with red brick row houses along impossibly well-kept streets.
(To top it off, this is the location of a charming guesthouse, perhaps one of the nicest in the Midwest.)
A visit to the North Market, with its artisanal food producers (everything from gelato to hormone free ham loaf!) and lively atmosphere, coupled with a trip up High Street, from the edgy Short North area past the boisterous university district and into the sedate suburb of Worthington (with a stop for ice cream at legendary Ohio churner Graeter's) just sealed the deal -- Columbus is vastly underrated."

Yeah, that's all nice, but they left out the main attraction - "Home of the Cutest."
So the next time my rich brother-in-law offers the use of his summer house in East Hampton, I say "No thanks, I'll just stay here in O-Hi?
Don't think so.
I think the author of that article should have spent just a bit more time here. And when compared to even Cleveland (Cleveland?), Columbus I find C-bus is NOT overated.
Jackscrow,
I'd probably rather go to your rich relative's place in East Hampton, too, but the point is, Columbus has some cool stuff to offer and is worth visiting.
And I'm biased, but I'd rather be in Columbus than Cleveland. I'm glad to see you agree that Columbus is not overrated.
