Condado Tacos is a stop that came up time and time again when I was asking for restaurant suggestions in the area.



This build-your-own taco shop allows for tons of customization, but they also have some pre-built tacos.



I was excited to try my hand at my own creation, but I soon learned that maybe I should leave it up to the professionals



Look at Dawn's cute margarita flight!



And while my mash-up of queso fresco, lettuce, tomato, pickled onion was tasty- it was a tad tooo sweet. But not bad!

Sometimes your brain just tells you you need ice cream. Immediately.



Dawn and I were driving when we decided to see what ice cream was nearby. Luckily, the Cookie Dough Creamery was nearby - ice cream AND cookie dough. 



I have never been to a cookie dough shop, so this was kind of a win-win. I got a small cup full of ice cream and tried a few different cookie doughs: peanut butter, praline, etc. Safe to eat cookie dough is heaven.



And I'll say it: graham cracker is the most underrated ice cream topping. So good with a little texture and reminds me of smores. MMmmm. So yummy!

Hot Chicken Takeover is a restaurant located at the North Market and brings Nashville hot chicken to Columbus.



I've had actual hot chicken in Nashville, so I wasn't sure about this whole place. But I'm really glad I gave it a go!



It's cool how they make it so fresh, they run out. So get there at a good hour!



I actually went for a kid's meal (since I ate at 5000 different places per day), and it was a great deal! I got a boneless mild chicken piece with a side of macaroni & cheese. And their housemade ranch was delish.

When I went to Frank's Pastry Shop previously, I asked what their most popular donut was. They told me it was their pumpkin donut, but it's seasonal. So I marked it on my calendar for a return visit. And, it was worth it! This pumpkin donut is thick, cake-like but with a delicious sugary icing on top. Mmm Mmm.

North Market is SO cute!



I love seeing all these vendors gathering with a common goal of improving the community and providing goods for them.



North Market has an incredible amount of vendors with everything from spices and ice cream to coffee and fish.



Jeni's Ice Cream is a staple! I didn't grab any this time, but I do love it.



I snagged some pretzel samples from Brezel and wowwow.



And, flowers can make any day better!
