Culinary Crossroads<\/span><\/a> says, \u201cOur favorite activities definitely involve trying new restaurants in downtown Indy, especially in the Fountain Square, Fletcher Place, and Broad Ripple neighborhoods and the surrounding suburbs. Be sure to check out The Garage Food Hall and all the great restaurants and nightspots on Massachusetts Avenue in downtown Indy.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Taste Indianapolis<\/span><\/a> adds where they would go for every meal of the day. \u201cMy ideal day in Indy starts with a coffee from Coat Check Coffee, a local coffee shop in the Athenaeum building off Mass Ave downtown. From there, I\u2019d bike the Monon Trail to Petite Chou for lunch, an adorable cafe just off the canal in Broad Ripple known for French classics like crepes, steak frites, onion soup, and profiteroles. Regarding dinner, King Dough is my favorite pizza shop in the city with incredible Neapolitan-style pizza and an awesome cocktail and wine list.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
