There’s a lot happening in the Columbus restaurant world – here’s the latest!

  • Lifestyle Cafe, a new plant-based eatery, holds its grand opening on Saturday, Jan. 18 in the old Angry Baker space, 891 Oak St. in Olde Towne East.
  • Sadly, Mark Dempsey, owner of Dempsey’s Food & Spirits, passed away last week. He was hospitalized following a heart attack around Christmas. I know that Mark was loved by many of the community. It speaks to the true value of restaurants like his, as gathering places for the community. We’re thinking of his family this week as they cope with their loss.

  • (614) Magazine‘s Restaurant Week runs next week Monday-Saturday, Jan. 20-25. Dozens of local restaurants are offering special menus set from $15-40 per person.
  • Ivan Kane’s Forty Deuce cafe and night club is now open at 3949 Brighton Rose Square at Easton
  • The new Dollar General concept DGX, the first in Columbus, is now open at 166 S. High St. downtown
