EAT!
Columbus has one of the largest Somali populations in the U.S., so it only follows that the city is full of great Somali food. Hoyo’s is a local favorite with locations at North Market’s Downtown and Bridge Park locations. Try a fried and meat-filled sambusa or a deliciously spiced rice dish. The restaurant’s name means mother, in honor of owners Abdilahi and Mohamed Hassan’s mother and her cooking.
- Columbus Museum of Art hosts BAM (bar, art and music) on Thursday.
- Ginger Root hosts modern swing music by Whirlybirds on Friday.
- Make your own cocktails with an Echo Spirits class on Saturday.

The No. 1 bestselling author’s newest, The Hotel Nantucket, follows a Nantucket local fresh from a break-up and trying to revamp the Hotel Nantucket, haunted by the memory of a 19-year-old killed in a fire a century ago – there’s plenty of current drama haunting the staff behind the scenes too.
