Columbus restaurants provide residents with quite a few good dining options for international cuisine. Eating out every night, however, isn’t a good idea for renters on a budget. Learn where the pros go to restock their pantries for international recipes for renters of Columbus apartments.
Ingredients
You can find an array of ingredients at North Market, convenient for apartments in Columbus near Spruce Street in the Arena District or those living near Goodale Park. Find homegrown, fresh picked produce that is conventionally and organically grown. You can also find a few rare spices, homemade sauces, preserves and more. Heads up: the market offers cooking classes!
Renters near Uptown District are just blocks away from Pearl Alley farmers market. The market isn’t open consistently throughout the year so you’ll want to check for dates.
For Asian food, check out Columbus Asian Market, affectionately called CAM by frequent shoppers. Prices here are very affordable and you’re bound to find exactly what you need for north, central, and south Asian foods as well as ingredients for many dishes from the Pacific Islands. Want to cheat? You can find pre-prepared dishes and baked goods here. For distinctly Indian ingredients, check out Indian Imports. This place has a bit of everything, such as spices, sauces, meats and even furniture. (Hey, eat in style!)
For a taste of the border, try Xalisco Taqueria and Latin Groceries. Find fresh tortillas, zesty sauces, and the perfect chilies to complete any meal.
Cookware and Utensils
Want a rice cooker, wok, or other specialty item? Try the Cookware Sorcerer. With a name like that, they’ve got to have everything, right? Find the perfect knife for every preparation task as well as unique flat wear, serving trays and much more; ideal for an Iron Chef competition at your apartment.
Though it isn’t locally owned, you can’t go wrong with Williams-Sonoma off of Polaris Parkway. Find everything that you need here to stock your apartment kitchen to perfection.
