What makes our apartments in New Albany, Ohio a cut above the rest is that you’re in close proximity to the quaintness and charm of Uptown Westerville while living in your own private oasis just minutes away. Your family has plenty to do at home with bikeable and walkable sidewalks, a swimming pool, and a golf course, but if you want to spend a day out on the town – you’re just a quick drive away from Uptown Westerville. Here are just a few options for food, shopping, and entertainment for everyone in the household.
Food & Drinks
Coffee, date nights, quick bites, and family outings are all possible in Uptown Westerville. And who doesn’t love pizza? Bring the entire gang down to share a large NY- or Columbus-style pie at Cardinal Pizza where you can find traditional menu offerings like a Margherita pizza or mix things up with a white pizza with garlic and ricotta. Afterward, you can satisfy your sweet tooth at Rollies Ice Cream and Boba Tea. Here, they’re rolling up ice cream Thai style and serving it up with every topping imaginable. Or, if you’d prefer a hot espresso for a nightcap, you can go to Java Central where they often have live music throughout the week.
If BBQ is what you’re craving, you can get your fix at Barrel & Boar on North State Street. This neighborhood favorite is doing it right with slow-cooked brisket, pulled pork, shrimp & grits, and more. Everyone in the family will find something they love. Of course, everyone wants Mexican food every now and again, and luckily for you, Tostadalicious is not far from our apartments in New Albany, serving up Mexican inspired salads, burritos, and, their specialty, tostadas!
Shopping
If there is one thing that Uptown Westerville has no shortage of – it’s shopping. Between art galleries, boutiques, furniture stores, and gift shops, you can wander the streets of this charming village for days and still not visit every shop. For gifts and decor, Green Haven Living is a lovely stop. Inside their store, you’ll find eco-friend and sustainable home decor items and gifts for every occasion. If spiritual exploration is something you are into, Mystic Nirvana carries books, crystals, home decor, art, and more.
Edible treats are always wonderful to shop for and Uptown Westerville is home to a couple of great boutiques that sell everything from fine teas to balsamic vinegars. A Twist on Olives is a family-run business that sells an incredible array of gourmet olive oils and aged balsamic vinegar perfect for cooking weeknight dinners. Or, stock up on teas and spices at Uptown on Main where you’ll find every type of tea imaginable and spices in bulk.
Adults might enjoy a quick stop into The Governor’s Cigar Lounge where you can splurge on a cigar or other fine tobacco products. Of course, you can’t leave out the pet in the household. Spoil your pet with toys, accessories, food, and more at Captivating Canines.
For the active family, you can make sure all of your fitness and recreational gear is up to par at a couple of great shops in Uptown Westerville.

Art & Entertainment
As if the shopping and eating weren’t enough to keep you occupied, Uptown Westerville has so much more to do in terms of entertainment and fun. Spend an evening taking a step back in time at the Asterisk Supper Club where you’ll experience tea, dinner, or drinks in a Prohibition-era setting.
