Tips for readers and visitors
If you live in Columbus, bookmark this tag and check it in the morning for traffic or event changes. If you’re visiting, recheck event times and transit options two days before and again the morning of your plan. For live sports, confirm who holds broadcast rights — games can move between local channels and streaming platforms.
Getting around: public transit and bike options can save time downtown during big events. If you drive, look for recommended parking zones and drop-off points to avoid long walks. For late-night plans, use official ride apps and check safe pickup spots near stadiums or venues.
Food and neighborhoods: want a quick list of where to eat near a gig or game? We name a few nearby spots and what they’re known for — beer halls, late-night diners, or quick family-friendly choices. That helps you decide where to eat without scrolling through dozens of reviews.
