Where in Columbus?
As an addition to yesterdays post I was hoping someone could help me out by giving me some recommendations on where to find some stuff here in Columbus, Ohio (not Georgia, or wherever else there is a Columbus). I am looking for:
A really good Vietnamese restaurant
Authentic Mexican Food
A Gabriel Bros if ya'll have one down here
The best places to find deals on furniture and clothes (not necessarily the same place).
A good place to go bike riding (I feel like I'm gonna get smushed every time I think about riding my bike in German Village).
Good hiking trails nearby
Any points or places of interest that are sort of off the wall or off the beaten path.

The Penney's outlet store has great bargains on everything. Some are damaged in transit, but other items are catalog overstocks and returns.
Sorry to say that there are no good Vietnamese restaurants. The best you'll find is a booth downtown at the North Market called Lac Viet.
oh, the North Market place is soooo good. Limited selection though.
Authentic Mexican - El Vacquero is pretty good, and seems authentic. There are several around town.
If you want vegetarian, Whole World Bakery in Clintonville is good.
I like the bike trails that hug the Olentangy River. I'm not exactly sure how far south they go, but I think at least Spring St. And they go at least as far north as 270 in Worthington. The only gap is having to cross North Broadway.
The topiary garden at the old deaf school site on Town is pretty cool. They are growing topiaries to make the scene from the Seurat painting, Sunday on the Isle blah blah blah.
As I remember other stuff I'll fire em off to you.
Really good Vietnamese: Mi Mi Cafe in the Columbus Square shopping center (near the corner of E. Dublin Granville and Cleveland Ave). Best Bahn Mi sandwich in town, plus they make a killer pho. It's the most authentic you'll get. Lac Viet in the North Market is also tasty, as is Ha Long Bay near Sancus and Lazelle for a more formal sit down meal.
Authentic Mexican food: I really love La Casita. Try their birria. :)
Bike riding: Heritage Trail, which runs from Hilliard down to near Plain City. It's a good distance to ride, and there's even a park along the way.
