6 Things to do Good for Couples in Columbia That You Shouldn't Miss
Columbia is a census-designated place in Howard County, Maryland, United States, and is one of the principal cities of the Baltimore metropolitan area. It is a planned community consisting of 10 self-contained villages. It began with the idea that a city could enhance its residents' quality of life. Creator and developer James W. Rouse saw the new community in terms of human values, rather than merely economics and engineering. Opened in 1967, Columbia was intended to not only eliminate the inconveniences of then-current subdivision design, but also eliminate racial, religious, and class segregation.

Our daughter and granddaughters took my husband and myself to Toby’s dinner theater of Columbia last night. We saw the musical production of Grease. What a great time we had. Got there a little early. Just before the doors opened. This was a good thing. You’re given a number and when it is called you can get your dinner from the buffet. Numbers start at 20 we were 24. Didn’t take long for us but seating went to over 75 tables. Our waitress Rachel was great plus she played Cha-Cha DiGregorio in the show. She was fantastic. All of the cast were superb. As good as the food was the show was even better. Most everyone knows the musical Grease and Tobys crew did it justice. They were all wonderful. Thanks Rachel our waitress and also thanks Rachel our daughter for a great evening.

I've lived in Coumbia for many, many years and I am so glad that Jim Rouse was the force behind the planning. Open trails, lakes, open space, great shopping and easy to reach.

My daughter lives in one of the townhouses. I can be found on the Lake at least twice daily when I visit, which is often. Very pleasant walk. Lots of shade.

Need a pick me up due to the blah weather and Covid-19?? Look no further! Make a reservation to ensure you have a table ready when you get there. We spoke to Chuck, he was super helpful with everything. Told us about BYOF...food that is. Homesylce isn’t far away so we swung by on our way to Hysteria and picked up some pizzas but he also told us they deliver to the brewery!! The ambiance worked well together and the staff was knowledgeable and friendly (thanks Shannon). They aren’t doing flights currently but they have plenty of cans or crowlers to go too. Shannon helped my fiancé and I choose the best beers and we can’t wait to go back with our dogs which we were told are welcomed inside the brewery. Hysteria prob had 15 or so beers to choose from, some rotate so if you fall in love with something seasonal make sure to take some with you. Thanks again Hysteria, can’t wait to return
