I grew up in Columbus and yes, there are many Polish people there--though I am not one!

OSU has a student group and a Slavic studies curriculum and many professors publish from there under the banner of Slavic Press. I went to school there and also worked for the university and I remember there being a rather large group of Polish students, as well.

And the Polish American Club (PAC) listed above by hello is pretty well known there, for cultural events, etc.

There is a Polish pottery place outside the city, a kind of factory outlet for Boleslawiec pottery and stuff from other Polish manufacturers.

They used to have Polish mass in the church in German Village, called St Mary's. Check there to see if they still do.

Good luck in meeting new friends and I hope you like my old hometown!

It's grown so much, and just keeps getting bigger, that when I leave Poland to go home for Chrismtas this year, I know I will be shocked, once again, at how big and sprawling it's gotten.

I am not sure about Columbus...but I know there is a large polish and slavic community in Cleveland. I am a 2nd generation Polish-American girl (grandmother was born in Poland) and we have a lot of great polish people and polish FOOD here. One of our restraunts here called Sokolowski's is a famous polish restaurant that has been featured on food networks (Anthony Bordane) and won awards for thier food. A lot of famous people from around the US...polish and non...come to eat here. It's almost like a tourist attraction and the funny thing is its not even located in a Polish neighborhood but a mixed ethnicity neighborhood with few polish residents...I live right down the street tho :). There food is amazing...they even put onions in their baked mac and cheese. They don't have some of my fav traditional dishes like cabage and noodles but do have some polish food...most of their foods are american with a polish "twist". Anyhow..we do have polish neighborhoods like Slavic Village but sadly they are slums and many parts are riddled with crime. I think it has a lot to do with discrimination and a lack of concern on law enforcements part for immigrant populations. Immigrant areas are usually targets for attack by criminals sadly.
