YouTubeOne of my former high school students is visiting town with her boyfriend and has asked for advice on what to do and where to go. The main complication is that she is under 21. I would suggest browsing the Short North and eating until she can't move, but I ask for advice from the forum on anything else. Obviously, nothing including alcohol or 21+ nightclubs!

Easton really is a great choice in addition to Short North boutiques, as you've already referenced.
The great thing about Surly Girl Saloon and Tip Top is that you can be part of the bar atmosphere, stay there late and not partake...the food and the decor are entertainment enough. The event at Skully's on Sat. night is 18 and up.
If they are into this type of thing, the antique mall on south High in German Village is really fascinating and you could get lost in there for hours.

An impromptu taco truck tour is a nice all ages event that can be easy on the wallet. Along the same vein, a trip to some of the better ethnic restaurants. Something like Banh Mi at MiLi Cafe or meat pies from Salam Bakery isn't going to be too challenging and is a nice way to mix things up.
I'd also recommend a trip to Jeni's + Stauf's in Grandview if the weather is nice. I like to take out of town ppl there at the end of the evening to show them our "Cafe Culture" :)
The Wexner center would probably be fun if they're an art lover. The Wex also has movie series that run in their theater or in the GFC.
Plenty of shops and restaurants in the SN if they are so inclined. There are also some fun shops up in Clintonville. Rag-O-Rama might be a good way to spend some time clothes shopping on the cheap. If they like thrifting, I think we have a pretty good Goodwill and the Ohio Thrifts can be pretty great.
Without knowing what they are interested in, this is just what I came up with off the top of my head. Will you be meeting with them for lunch or dinner?

The Experience Columbus calendar is useful to see if there are any exhibitions/events/festivals etc happening during their stay. The festival season isn't far off.
Art Walks are a fun & free way to explore. You can download maps or audio tours.
http://publichealth.columbus.gov/artwalk.aspxWe have all sorts of different ages on our food tours from kids up to retirees.
