So.. What's Indy like?...

[Colinb913]

Yeah, never been. Due to a few things lining up just the way they should be, it seems that my fiance and I are going to make it up there Saturday, and Sunday this weekend. Staying at the J.W. Marriott downtown..

We're both pretty excited, her because she hasn't been to Indy for a few years, me because we're finally taking a vacation to a destination I already know all the gun laws.

We're only gonna be there for two days, so I need to know two fabulous places to eat. We'll probably go to the mall, walk downtown, see the canal, other than that, what else is there to do?

Well, you locals of Indy, edumucate me.

If you want a nice meal that will bring out your inner man and please the lady, then try the Weber Grill restaurant downtown. Incredible.

We have the "best" childrens Museum, in the world... Eitlejorg, of western art, In. State museum, Motor Speedway, several indoor gun ranges, if you like Bison, I think Ted's Steakhouse,serves it, up north, on 86th st., I think .....

 

[cyprant]

I have heard the Spaghetti Factory has some good eats!

 

[pwoller]

Your staying DT so you have to eat at St Elmos!

 

[RockofStrength]

If you like meat, the Fogo De Chao absolutely cannot be beat. It is hands down the best meal I ever eaten at a restaurant.

 

[Vaquero11]

Agree! St. Elmo's is a must and get the shrimp cocktail.

 

[casselmb]

Second [Edit: third] the vote for St. Elmo. It's a staple of Indy, and not a chain. Prices are a little steep, but worth it IMO. Mug N Bun Drive-In on the Westside (10th St I think) is a good choice on the other side of the spectrum. It's been around forever, and for good reason.

 

[pwoller]

Elmos isnt cheap but not rediculous like some of the Indy steakhouses. I consider myself a steak snob and it is the best I've had besides one cooked by me. The cowboy ribeye is my steak of choice.

What kind of food do you like?

I'd skip the mall its a freaking joke.

 

[Colinb913]

My fiance wants to go to the mall. She's used to Eastland mall, here in the big bad town of Evansville, so she's excited. I assume it's on par with malls like Louisville, and St. Louis, correct?

We like Steak, so sounds like St. Elmos is surefire. How about a hibachi grill? We love sushi, but we want to go to a hibachi grill up there, so are there any that serve sushi as well?

 

[robbran144]

i second the vote for Fogo De Chao, Boat sport and travel show at the fairgrounds.

 

[Mf2racer]

I have heard the Spaghetti Factory has some good eats!

I will second this. A great meal with a scoop of Gelato at the end that wont break the bank. Not to mention the Spaghetti Factory has a great ambiance. Just don't let your fiance go to the restroom by herself there, it is in a awkward location .

 

[robbran144]

Ive been to one of the malls in louisville, none around here are close to being as nice as the one i went to down there

 

[ricochet22]

Let's see
St. Elmo's
Fogo De Chao
Weber Grill
mmmmmmmmmmmm we like meat
and I am sure they have something wrapped in bacon
Is there a Ted's Montana downtown? They have bison steaks worth trying

This, the museums are nice too.

 

[mrproc1]

Another vote for Fogo...
The mall has had some problems with the youngsters the past couple Saturday nights. Nothing to keep ya away, so dont be surprised if you see some hood rats.
As far as Sushi, I love it and nothing really downtown for it. But two spot I highly suggest, either
Ichiban Sushi Bar | Home which is in Greenwood on US.31, you can stop on your way into or out of town.
Or..http://www.tchopstix.com/ in Broadripple (short drive north of downtown)
Broadripple is a nice little hip town. Lots of Bars. If ya'll smoke Hookah.. Nice lttle place around the corner from there.
Hope this info helps.. if any questions.. just ask.. Im sure we can find some answers for ya.
HAVE FUN!!

Well the NFL Combine is in Indy this weekend so you can expect the JW to be packed. Possibly run in to some NFL coaches, execs, and future players.

You could go to the Keystone mall better stores and less teenage trouble makers.
