All aboard the C-bus! Looks like there's a seat with your name on it, and a new apartment too! You're here just in time for kickoff, let's just hope you're clad in scarlet and gray and are ready to lose your voice cheering for the Buckeyes. This smart, open-minded city is a wonderful place for you to call home. Want a private tour to get the lay of the land? Just walk around the city during a football game – it will just be you and the streets. But once everyone has left the stadium, this city is bursting with all walks of life. Discover phenomenal live music at old concert venues like The Bluestone, great theatre, festivals, The North Market, German Village, a prominent LGBT community, great shopping in Easton, and some of the most serious tailgating you may ever experience. What could be better than inexpensive hot dogs and baseball? Don't miss dime-a-dog hot dog night with the Columbus Clippers. Get pumped for a delicious local beer, because craft breweries are huge in the city. Enjoy the outdoor patio at 7th Son as well as the food trucks if you start to get hungry after a couple brews. Gastropubs are also hot right now in Columbus – check out Crest for a laid-back evening and great food. Yoga is also big in Columbus, so grab your mat and try a class at Yoga on High, Balanced Yoga, or V Power Yoga. Once you've found your breath, head 45 minutes north to Hocking Hills for a hiking or kayaking weekend getaway. Time to embrace your inner Columbus, sail that ocean blue, and set out to explore the neighborhoods of your new city.
