Shopping, restaurants, bars... there's something for everyone. Kit and Kaboodle is the best toy store. Books and Brews has- you'll never guess- books AND beer. And Hadley's cousin, Tracy, owns home/gift boutique Nine and Roxy.
Order anything with their house-distilled gin. You're welcome. Enjoy the Midtown Plaza outside with games, swings, seating, and a huge screen to catch the game. (What game? Don't ask Hadley... she'd have no idea).
Mike's favorite meal of the day is breakfast, and Buondi has his favorite espresso.
This restaurant was our first dinner date OUTSIDE of our houses post-COVID restrictions. The crab stew reminds Hadley of Baltimore.
Chocolates, ice cream, coffee, light food... did we mention chocolates??
This is Mike's favorite breakfast joint. And seriously, the dude knows his breakfast.
Hadley orders ketchup on her Chicago dogs here, and they're still nice to her.
Cold-brewed espresso drinks- served hot or cold- and super-smooth and yummy.
One French 75 cocktail once caused Hadley to fall asleep for 12 hours straight after consuming. Also, Oprah loves their cakes. Yes, that Oprah.
On their first weekend together, Hadley thought it was endearing that Mike wanted to peruse an antique store. One 1940's carnival mallet purchase later, and her perspective was forever altered. Warning: a visit here will not be a quick trip.
They not only brew their own delicious beer, but the expansive outdoor patio right off of the Monon Trail is the perfect place to kick back and listen to live music, socialize, and dog-watch.
This fun boutique is the perfect place to find a gift for anyone- or yourself! Pop culture treats abound.
