Hi Gayle Got names or addresses you came up with>none I googled appear to be too close to the convention center. I can tell you they have a great Mongolian Grill up the road before the areana. I hope you are staying at the Dury. wee have and have always enjoyed it. They have the most unique pool...part inside/part outside..you swim under the glass wall and then you are outside. Anyways, there is a good one north of downtown, just south of Grandville/dublin rd. I am not sure if there are anyother ones besides JoAnn's by Polaris. Now that is the ultimate in shopping. It is north of Columbus, just off of RT71. There is every store you can think of and place to eat. It is clean and safer than some of the other areas. Please be careful about any area off of N. High between there and the Fairgrounds near 71. can be ruff. Have a great time.
