One of the best parts of fall is trying seasonal drinks at your favorite coffee shop. Pumpkin spice lattes are a classic, but cinnamon matchas, maple-flavored coffees and chai lattes are also great options when you are craving something festive. Instead of ordering the same drink every morning, use this season as an excuse to try something new. Columbus has plenty of local coffee shops, perfect for meeting friends or taking a break from busy schedules.

It wouldn’t be fall without a mini coffee shop crawl. Have fun ordering different seasonal drinks at local places. You can even rate each drink and decide which once can become a part of your regular rotation. Whether you prefer an iced latte or a warm drink on a chilly morning, a seasonal drink is an easy way to make an ordinary day feel more like fall.

When the leaves start changing colors, take advantage of the scenery around Ohio State and Columbus. Walking around the Oval is a great way to enjoy the campus atmosphere while being surrounded by beautiful trees. The paths at the Chadwick Arboretum & Learning Gardens, surrounded by trees and wildlife can also offer a peaceful break with stunning views. Walking around with the crisp air is a great way to spend time outside and take in the weather before winter. For an even better experience, put together a fall playlist to listen to along the way. Songs such as “cardigan” by Taylor Swift, “Sweater Weather” by The Neighbourhood and “Sofia” by Clairo fit the cozy fall mood. Add a few of your own favorites to create a playlist that works best for you.
