My wife and I are heading to downtown Columbus for this weekend for the first time. Would anyone care to share some stuff that we shouldn't miss.

if you're into art, the Wexner Center is really great....top notch contemporary arts....also, the Cols. Museum of Art is good. Other than that, the only think I can think of dwntwn is the original Wendy's!

If you are into the nightlife scene, the Arena District is where all the clubs are. For galleries and chic restaurants, the 'Short North' an area which is right down High St is pretty good. But, lucky you, this weekend is Comfest, in Goodale Park, right downtown, this is an excellent festival with 6 stages of live music and performing arts going all day and night this Friday, Saturday and Sunday, it also has a very hippie touch to it, if that is your scene. Good luck.

Depends what you are looking to do. I visit Columbus on average 1x per month and prefer to stay out in Easton- they have wonderful shopping and restaurants. The art museum in Columbus is very nice. I would also check out German Town/Brewery District (High Street).
