Callie & Paul
Things To Do
Indianapolis Zoo
On the outskirts of downtown Indy, this zoo is home to a fun variety of animals, a butterfly garden, and a scenic floral park.
Bangkok Kitchen
Paul's favorite place for food in Avon, Indiana offers authentic Thai cuisine and a relaxing atmosphere.
Mass Ave
The quintessential place for taking in the sights and sounds of downtown Indy, getting liquid-nitrogen chilled treats, buying souvenirs, and finding a wide variety of good food.
Potbelly Sandwich Shop
A midwest classic sandwich shop with phenomenal shakes and midwest-famous hot and cold sandwiches.
Canal Walk
A visitor to the Hoosier capital? This must-see canal flows through the city and passes by some of the best stops Indy has to offer. Stop at the state museum, capital buildings, and more.
Steak 'n Shake
This chain restaurant, a staple in midwestern culture and in Paul's upbringing, is famous for its steakburgers, fries, and shakes and is sure to satisfy and give some insight to life in Indiana.
Monument Circle
A Hoosier icon and proud centerpiece to the circle city, this monument and the surrounding blocks offer a fantastic overview of Indiana's metropolitan side and is only a block away from Circle Center Mall, a great place to shop.
Long's Bakery
Definitely not the prettiest spot in central Indy, but surely one of the tastiest. Easily the best donuts west of the Mississippi but be careful, there are no waivers for the sugar coma that follows. Be aware that this shop only accepts cash. Note that is not the safest part of town, but there is seldom any real cause for alarm.
Indianapolis Motor Speedway
This world famous race track features what remains of the famous brickyard that formed the backbone of Indycar racing and the history of racing's favorite victors past and present.
B&O Trail
See Indiana through the eyes of Paul as a high-schooler and wander through fields and quiet neighborhoods of the Indianapolis suburbs and nearby farming communities.
Broad Ripple
This mess of streets, bars, tattoo parlors, and odd shops is a great place to explore and see what makes Indy indie.
Washington Township Park and Haunted Bridge
Check out the Avon-famous haunted bridge and the adjacent park with a handful of trails in a quiet suburban neighborhood.
Eagle Creek Park
Rent a kayak or take a hike in this lush, green Indiana nature park that was one corner of Paul's original stomping grounds.
Anderson Orchard
The sight of one of Paul's favorite Autumn traditions and a great place to see the beauty of the midwest and gather some fresh apples and other fall-time favorites.
