Friday Food Bites: November 19, 2021

There’s always a lot happening in the Columbus restaurant world! Here’s the latest:

• Little Ladies Soft Serve opens its storefront today at 673 Worthington Rd., along Polaris Parkway near Westerville. This marks the first brick-and-mortar shop for the food truck, which has operated around central Ohio for three years now. The shop features an expanded menu that includes more soft serve flavors, dairy-free options, and additional sundaes. Initial hours will be noon to 9 p.m., Wednesdays-Sundays.
