Happy Friday! Here’s the latest Columbus restaurant news:
- Signs have gone up announcing the return of the Worthington Inn! Although details are scarce at this point, new signage on the side of the building offers a QR code where people can sign up to get announcements. The original parts of the building date back to 1831, and it served as a residence, an inn, and a restaurant over the decades, before closing up at the very end of 2018. Since then the building has been sold and the upper floors converted to office spaces. Here’s a look back at their popular Sunday brunch buffet from 2011!
