Downtown Johnstown - Johnstown, OH Area Guide

Downtown Johnstown is about 40 minutes northeast of Columbus, and the tree-filled streets have a somewhat rural appeal with the amenities of a small town. Most commercial activities take place along South Main Street and Johnstown-Utica Road, with the Old Horseshoe Restaurant and Tavern a particular local favorite for its shrimp and grits and other home-style food. The Hot Spot Coffee House and the Main Street Cafe enjoy a solid reputation for good food and good coffee as well. Those looking for houses to rent in downtown Johnstown may prefer the east of the city -- it's closer to a number of businesses in the industrial park. Avid cyclists can take advantage of the T.J. Evans Foundation Bike Path starting at Track Street, which runs 14.2 miles to Newark and then joins the Panhandle Trail to the west of Newark via the Ohio State University, Newark campus.
