Right Now Downtown

SINCE YOU’RE THINKING ABOUT FOOD ANYWAY…

The big eating holiday has arrived.  Let’s be honest, the “thankfulness” angle is lovely, but the point of Thanksgiving is to stuff a turkey, then stuff yourself.  Period, the end.

But what if the stuffing could continue?  What if you could stuff yourself ad nauseum (pun very much intended) right on into January with the holiday’s seasonal delights?  You can do it DOWNTOWN!

Need Green Bean Casserole?
The Bar of Modern Art serves its kissin’ cousin in the appetizer section.  You’ll find green beans with roasted almonds, feta cheese and crispy shallots in a sherry-shallot vinaigrette.  Maybe it’s not like Mama’s, but that’s a good thing.

What About Sweet Potato Pie?
That’d be on the dessert menu at Flatiron Bar & Diner.  You might find some Wild Turkey at the bar to help wash it down.

Brussels Sprouts?
Although we understand that one of the owners of Tip Top Kitchen & Cocktails is obsessed with Brussels sprouts, we have yet to see them on the menu.  Even so, regulars will find specials that include sweet potato bisque, pumpkin ale and an open faced turkey sandwich.

Talkin’ Turkey…
Speaking of turkey sandwiches, you can score plenty of deli-styled bird at Cafe Brioso and Cafe Lola.

And Of Course, Parsnips
Finally, the ever-beloved holiday food, the parsnip, can be found downtown.  Chef Wilhelm Novak has hidden it in his to-die-for potato parsnip gratin with cheese.  It’s a side dish at the High Street Grill (inside the Westin Columbus).

So, who’s bringing the cranberries?
