Columbus, OH

Two-toned hair, gloomy weather and open-toed boots.

Welcome to Columbus, OH.

I found myself here for the Mid America Beauty Classic in the beginning of October. The economy must have hit Columbus especially hard, because downtown and the tradeshow was deserted. The Hyatt became our home away from home, as well as the show floor from 9-5.  After 2 days of very average meals (Japanese Steakhouse, Bar on 2) we found one saving grace: Haiku. This modern Japanese restaurant saved the day with flash-fried black and white calamari, delectable rolls and the most informed, funny waiter. Chris was a former Californian, and was not only knowledgeable and  friendly, but directed us to some other spots in town.

Next up: Bham.
