The Short North is an unrivalled collection of galleries, restaurants, and boutiques at the artistic heart of Ohio. With famous arches lining the street, this district provides everything from historic architecture and creative art, to a bohemian setting to enjoy shopping and dining in what is labelled as a "must see" destination by many travel magazines.[citation needed]
