Get Out: Columbia Restaurants Celebrate "1905 Day"
The family-owned restaurant observes their 106th anniversary by offering the prices of yesteryear.

Today (Sunday, Sept. 18), it’s 1905 Day at the Columbia.
That’s when all six Columbia Restaurants roll back their prices to celebrate the 106th anniversary of the popular family-owned business.
As has been the tradition since their 75th Anniversary, the Columbia has developed a special menu with the prices of yesteryear for 1905 Day. From noon until 7 p.m., guests can enjoy the Columbia’s Spanish cuisine for the prices they'd have paid back in 1905.
