Things To Do
Mass Ave & Shopping
One of our favorite neighborhoods in Indy! Stroll down this area filled with delish restaurants, cute shops, and artsy vibes. Stop by one of our favorite staples- 9 Irish Brothers for some fried goat cheese (the best), a Guinness with a drizzle of Chambord liqueur (Nina's fave), and a few Irish car bombs. Shouts out! More restaurants just off Mass Ave: -Livery: Latin classics, tequila, and an all-season rooftop patio -The Garden Table: Farm to table, chic atmosphere, good option for breakfast! -Louvino: Trendy small plates and wine bar -The Eagle: Rustic eatery and beer hall- THE FRIED CHICKEN... OMG... try the fried chicken! -Salt on Mass: Seasonal seafood and steak -Union 50: Industrial-chic atmosphere with american bites and local brews -Mesh: Trendy restaurant with contemporary american fare and drinks
Canal Walk
One of our absolute faves! Great for a fun and lively summer stroll along the Indiana Central Canal. Stay dry and walk, run, or rent some bikes to ride along the water OR hop in the canal and rent a pedal boat or kayak! (Don't actually hop in the water- lets follow the rules now, people)
Monument Circle
The true heart of downtown Indianapolis!
White River Gardens and State Park
Part of the Indianapolis Zoo! Includes the beautiful Heritage Garden, the DeHaan Tiergarten, and the Hilbert Conservatory. If you love plants, flowers, nature, and butterflies like Nina does- then this will easily be your fave attraction!
St. Joseph Brewery
Previously a church... turned into a brewery! Grab some bites and brews at this unique spot.
