When foodie locales come to mind, Ohio is not a state that is typically part of the picture, nor is its small town of Yellow Springs. But you’d be surprised at the number of restaurants that together constitute a varied and even avant-garde mini-mecca of dining in this part of the Midwest. Weather you’re looking for Caribbean, farm-to-table, or vegetarian, you won’t be disappointed by an evening spent at one of the many top-notch restaurants in Yellow Springs, Ohio. Be sure to top your meal off with dessert and perhaps a late-night quaff brewed nearby.
