Hi, I'm Elizabeth! Here's a little bit more about me...

Thought it was a perfect time to share pictures from the Clippers game last night. It was our first time visiting Huntingon Park here in downtown Columbus and we are seriously crushing on this ballpark. The Clippers are the Triple A affiliate of the Cleveland Indians and it was fun to see a game on a smaller field. Just a ton of charm about this venue and the staff was awesome.  The rain even held off until the bottom of the 9th.

Kyle at the 7th inning stretch…

Our friends Janelle and Danny…

AND it just happened to be dime-a-dog night. That’s right. These bad boys cost a whole 50 cents.

I’m always looking for new things to see and do in the city. We’ve lived in Columbus for less than three years and we still have so much stuff to try…

Independently Yours, Columbus

Have discovered yet another reason to love Columbus, Ohio, the self-declared “indie art capital of the world.” It’s called Independents’ Day and celebrates the many local businesses, restaurants, and artists in the area with a little one day festival.

We got to see local indie band, Necropolis, play a set. Emily (pictured right) is a friend of mine from the PhD program. That’s right. I know rock stars. No big deal.

In front of the state capitol building. Obviously, this is just cause for levitation.

While I was downtown, I met a couple really awesome business owners and I’m super excited to spotlight some local Columbus artists. Tune in for that over the next few days…

What about you? How was your Saturday?

love, elizabeth

PS: Just a few more days until the giveaway. I think you’re gonna like it.

Mozart’s Bakery and Piano Cafe

On Saturday, my friend Francesca and I stopped in at one of my favorite eating-spots in Columbus. Mozart’s is an Austrian-style bakery and café with live piano music and a menu to die for.

Strawberry champagne cake

Fruit tart

Mozart’s specialty, the marzipan peach.

If you’re in Columbus, Mozart’s is worth stopping in for a cup of tea just to hear the music.

We sat by the Mozart statue. I think he was a little grumpy that afternoon.

This is probably one of my favorite Columbus spots, for atmosphere alone. But the food is good, too, and not overly-priced. Francesca and I are coming back here to have their traditional afternoon tea at some point.

What about you? Anyone have a favorite tea/coffee/bakery spot in their city?
love, elizabeth

PS: On September 23rd, in honor of the first day of fall, I will be announcing my next giveaway! You are not going to want to miss this one…I keep trying to figure out how I can enter and keep it for myself.An alias maybe?
