A beautiful night for a walking tour in German Village ✨

Crash Course Columbus kicked off last night. Huge thank you to the German Village Society, German Village Garten Club, and Columbus Food Adventures for bringing the history and character of this iconic neighborhood to life.

From Katzinger’s to The Book Loft, Frank Fetch Park, Cento, and more, it was a unique way to experience the city we love.

Crash Course is perfect for those new to Columbus or anyone looking to rediscover it and get out.
