NRAAM INDY Meet & Eat

[d.kaufman]

Who's up for a meet and eat during the NRA Convention?

Narrowed it down to 2 places. Spaghetti Factory and Shapiros Deli. Both are well within walking distance with the Spaghetti Factory being the closer of the two to the convention center.

Poll will be up for 5 weeks, so cast your vote on your preferred place and time. Poll will allow up to 2 choices on date, time, and location

Indianapolis, IN – Old Spaghetti Factory

Handcrafted sandwiches with a touch of Jewish tradition. Since 1905, four generations of Shapiro's have been making quality meals for family and friends.

I have no idea at this point when I'll be attending. Once I figure that out I'll come back and vote.

Shapiros would make for a good location with lots of room without making a rsvp.. I might be able to talk a good friend coming to town for the Meetings to join us all to eat.. He is a retired SGM 5th Group SF and enjoys talking past, present, and future military firearms. Might even get him to talk about the testing he has been part of for the 6.8 round the military has been developing..​

I voted for Shapiro's Saturday afternoon even though I won't be attending the convention. Might be easier to get parking there, and I'm still up for meeting more INGO folks.

I voted for 1800 hours for either location. Shapiro's might be easier for a group though, but farther walk too.

I will try to make any time which the group picks. Currently have plans to go Friday and Saturday so I'm not as rushed as in 2019.

The Indy Star reported today that “Visit Indy” predicts 70,000+ NRA members will be at the annual convention in April! Just fantastic!

Not technically. But if they are truly generic and some of us order badges for family that we know won’t attend, a guest could take their badge I guess.

This. I will have 2 extra badges as the wife and youngest aren't going to go

 

[RCB]

My wife and children will be going with me. Though glad to have the option of getting badges ahead of time.

I'd love to meet some INGO'ers... I voted Shapiro's, never been there, but I dislike Italian food.......Saturday works better. Hope to see y'all! I'm bringing my son the the NRA meeting, so he'll be there.

 

[Refrigerator27]

Darn I’ll be out of state all of these dates/times.

Last NRA convention Shapiro's had there parking lot monitored for use only while dining. Works great for someone not attending the convention wanting to pop in for a bite to eat with INGO'ers but don't plan on it for parking for the whole day. As I recall I parked at a lot a block or two northwest of Shapiro's.

Not voting above until I figure out my plans but I would lean towards Shapiro's as I don't have a good local deli so it is a treat when in INdy.

So far Shapiros Saturday the 15th is the winner.

3 weeks left on the poll

Definitely looking forward to meet some of you from the area that I wouldn't normally get a chance to meet

A warning from a local Shapiros is getting very expensive anymore.

What hasn't gotten more expensive. I sure can't think of a single thing

Only thing I can think of is opinions...still free, and still worth what you paid for
