Easton is the best shopping area in Columbus by far. There are a nice mix of chain stores and unique stores to the central Ohio area (Crate & Barrel, the Apple store, etc) plus restaurants, Gameworks, a comedy club, and a movie theater. The outdoor area is one-of-a-kind for central Ohio with nicely landscaped outdoor shopping. Gets busy on the weekends, but the parking is free and never hard to find a place to park.
