New York Times features Short North

As the premiere arts destination in Ohio, we are pleased that the New York Times has, once again, focused on the Short North as a "neighborhood that is challenging all preconceived notions of what passes for cool in the Midwest."

It’s not every day that a Columbus chef is named a semi-finalist for a James Beard Foundation award.  In fact, to our knowledge, it’s never happened before.  But this year, chef Kent Rigsby of Rigsby’s Kitchen and chef Magdiale Wolmark of Dragonfly Neo-V became the first.


Deemed “the Oscars of the food world,” by Time magazine, The James Beard Foundation Awards are the country’s most coveted honor for chefs, food and beverage professionals, and food writers in North America.

Visit the restaurant’s websites by clicking on their name below. If you have never eaten at these restaurants, I can only say “why not.” Click the link to visit the James Beard Foundation’s website, to find out more about this award.
