Things To Do
Newfields Museum & Garden Shop
We had our first date and got engaged here! It is a wonderful museum and has gorgeous gardens and walking paths.
Massachusetts Avenue
All sorts of fun restaurants, shops, and bars in this area!
The Children's Museum of Indianapolis
Fun for big kids, too.
Indianapolis Zoo
Great zoo! The butterfly enclosure is so fun!
Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum
For racing fans, this is a great stop. Downtown Speedway has good diners and shops.
Back 9 Golf & Entertainment
A fun Top Golf alternative.
BODHI
One of our favorite restaurants. Owned by 3 generations of Thai women, we love the cozy feel of this spot. Be sure to make reservations or arrive right when they open.
Mama Carolla's
A cute mom and pop joint with amazing Italian faire. Highly recommend the Fried Buffalo Mozzarella.
Ripple Bagel and Deli
THE best bagel in town.
St. Joseph Brewery
It's a church! It's a brewery! No, it's both!
Sun King Brewery
Henry recommends the Wee Mac and Pachanga.
The Garage Food Hall
A no-fuss food hall. There is something for everyone here. It's in the historic Coca Cola Bottleworks district, a former bottling plant!
La Hacienda Mexican Restaurant
One of our favs, classic Mexican. We used to come here with our school study buddies "The Starting Five" before we dated!
The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers, Carmel City Center
The most Instagrammable sweets shop. Nestled in downtown Carmel's City Center, which has the cutest shops and restaurants.
The Rathskeller Biergarten
A German restaurant with an outdoor bar with live music you can catch in the summer!
Cafe Patachou
Multiple locations scattered across town. Our favorite brunch place. Katie's pick is the Hippie with a Benz veggie omelet with cinnamon sugar toast, Henry's is the avocado toast with a fried egg (and coffee, of course.)
MOTW Coffee and Pastries
GET THE CHAI OR BISCOFF LATTE.
Command Coffee
An old study spot of ours. Great coffee and great people. Good vibes and better blueberry tea.
