Today is the first Gallery Hop of 2013, and there’s plenty in store for tonight. But seeing as The Short North was named the best neighborhood in Columbus in our 2012 Reader’s Survey last week, we thought we’d kick this year off with some suggestions on other “Best ofs” that made the list:

1. Grab some Brunch for Dinner at the Tasi Cafe

Tasi Cafe was named Best Brunch of 2012, and thankfully the restaurant is now open from 5pm to 10pm for Gallery Hop nights, so you can have brunch well into the evening hours tonight.

2. Get Happy at Bodega

Bodega’s Happy Hour may only be a weekday celebration, but it was still voted as the Best Happy Hour of 2012 by our readers. Swing by, grab a drink, enjoy the bustling crowds and come back during the week next time for a discount.

3. Browse the new items at Grandview Mercantile

Grandview Mercantile was named Best Home Decor Store of 2012, due to their ever-rotating collection of antiques and furnishings from dozens upon dozens of vendors, conveniently housed all under one roof.

4. Treat yourself to a Post-Christmas Present at Tigertree

Our readers declared the Best Fashion Store of 2012 as Tigertree, but they carry more than just closing. Swing by tonight to see if there’s anything that strikes your fancy if you have some holiday gift money to spend.

5. Chow Down at Northstar Cafe

For the second year in a row, the Northstar Cafe has been named as the Best Everyday Restaurant of 2012. If Gallery Hopping makes you hungry, or you just need a place to warm up for awhile, stop by and get a veggie burger to refuel before you head back out into the cold.

What else are you looking forward to at Gallery Hop tonight?
