Where ya gonna live?
by staindesign
This is a great tool if you ever want to move to Indy. You can find one of these guides at almost any grocery store, i believe all except Wal-marts. They are color coded and are divided up by area or neighborhood. This is such a great tool and I have used it several times since i've lived here. It takes alot of guess work out of driving around town or an area looking for an apartment. It is helpful to be prepared and the other great help is that all of the phone numbers and directions.
Plus the guide is FREE!!
Average Joe's Sports Pub
by dzni about Average Joe's Sports Pub
This place is not incredibly crowded on a Friday night... I was able to move around and actually find a table! I am not used to this, so this was a good thing! :) Anyway, this is definitely a sports bar with TV's placed strategically throughout the place. There's a bar in front, and in the ajoining room there are a couple tables and a few pool tables (which we somehow got ahold of both!). Anyway, they also serve up some food here, which was decent (they have 2 for 1 deals on fridays).
Upscale Mexican Food
by staindesign about El Torito Grill
The el Torito Grill is the whole package when it comes to a dining experience! The building is big and beautiful on the inside and out! The staff is fantastic and the food is amazing! Who doesn't love guacamole? Well a cool thing they do is that they will prepare it to order at your table. There are a few different ingredients to choose from and they also ask how spicy (hot, medium, or mild) do you want it. I had the Shrimp Diabla. It was probably the best i had ever had! It was served with a corn mash, cilantro rice, and 2 sauces the spicy one and a pineapple sauce also. The only thing i would suggest not ordering is the enchiladas, they are pretty basic, while everything else on the menu is fantastic!
The Monon Trail
by sticki
This beautifully paved trail runs almost the length of the city and is still being extended in both directions. Perfect for walking, running, biking, rollerblading, etc. I think it's technically closed at night, and while I've still rollerbladed after dark, it's really not a good idea. While I'm sure it's pretty safe during the day, there have been a couple muggings at night. Be carefull near intersections, cuz the trail crosses some major roads and there are people out there who would love nothing more than to pick off a rollerblader or two.
Cobblestoned Streets
by djramey
Indianapolis, and Indiana for that matter, are rich in tradition and support their history by using back to basics architecture and design. The streets are no different. Whether you are visiting the most famous race track in the world, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, or the Monument Circle that highlights the downtown of the Capitol City, you will be bumping your way along on brick-layered roads.
You will see however, that they are done very nicely and do not cause any damage to tire, foot, or wheel. The downtown area was recently renovated with nicer bricks and is constantly being managed to keep them in nice shape for all of Indianapolis' visitors and citizens.
