Columbus Monthly

Columbus Monthly is great. I agree with Heather A. in that is a grown up version of Columbus Alive and the Other Paper.
Columbus Monthly always has great articles about local stuff you can actually use and care about. It features a nice spread of local real estate, Columbus professionals, and funny little fun facts about the city. I subscribe to Columbus Monthly for two reasons; the restaurant coverage, and the Best and Worse issue.
Each issue of Columbus Monthly features a review of a new place and updates on the old. It reminds me of the restaurants I have forgotten and clues me into the new. It has a comprehensive listing of all the restaurants in the city and the’burbs. I love the restaurant issue because they devote the entire magazine to reviews and updates.
The Best and Worst issue has been a favorite of mine for years. This issue is hilarious. Its like the Doo Dah parade on paper.
If you can’t subscribe to Columbus Monthly make sure you pick it up for the Best and Worst and the restaurant issue. Sometimes its fun to be a little grown up.

If I’m right, this is the last of the Columbus-​specific glossy mags in the area since the fall of C-​Bus. This magazine is great but I was such a fan of C-​Bus Magazine and was so sad to see it go bust! This one has been around for a while and has the advertising dollars to support itself.
The magazine is a comprehensive guide to what’s going on in and around columbus in terms of new businesses, restaurants and activities. A more ‘mature’ version of the Alive as well as smaller and easier to handle as the pages don’t fall out. haha.
FYI: Right now, you can get a year subscription for $ 12. Sign me up!
