Bethel Rd, Northwest

Bethel Rd begins at Riverside Dr and travels east to Rt 315. There are some residential areas on this street, mostly older apartments and condos. The commercial areas have changed over the years, and there is a great ethnic diversity in restaurants and shopping areas. Bethel is a very busy, high-traffic street. There is much commercial development including theaters, grocery stores, shopping centers, churches, and medical offices. You can find most services and entertainment along Bethel Rd. One of the best places to stop is Graeters's Ice Cream. You can watch them make some of the best ice cream in Columbus, then puchase a cone or a sundae to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Bethel Road is a road that has seen better days. It is lined with old strip malls and older apartment complexes; however, if you look closely, you will notice that all of these strip malls are thriving and the apartments are all leased. Bethel Road is a multi-cultural heaven. Restaurants and grocers from all over the world. My favorite Indian restaurant, New India, is on Bethel Road. The stores may be older, but they are well maintained and this area is known all over Columbus as the place to go for global cuisine and shopping. If you are into ethic foods, Bethel Road is a must!
