Johnson's Real Ice Cream offers a variety of tasty treats, including seasonal favorites.

Following closely on the heels of its new Grandview store, Johnson’s Real Ice Cream debuted another new location at 869 N. Fourth St. in Italian Village last week. The storefront is the former home to S’wich Social ice cream shop.

Just in time for its 100th birthday, the Granville Inn unveils a remodel and a new menu this week. The inn’s Oak Room and Tavern both underwent full renovations, with updated seating, upgraded lighting and a new patio. It will open to the public this Wednesday, April 17.

Last Friday, the fast casual spot Rollz Rice Indian Kitchen opened a second location at 16 E. 16th Ave. near Ohio State’s campus. Rollz Rice lets customers build their own wraps, biryani bowls, naan bowls and salads. Its first location opened in 2019 in Lewis Center.

Over the next two Sundays, Hot Chicken Takeover and Dough Mama will team up to feature the Hot Mama Biscuit, a sandwich combining Hot Chicken’s signature Nashville-style chicken served on Dough Mama biscuits. The sandwich will be available at Hot Chicken Takeover locations only.
