Indianapolis: New Favorites and Hoosier Classics

The great city of Indianapolis, Indiana has many draws, including the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Newfields, and a notable children’s museum. We are particularly fond of the food scene, which includes classic establishments like St. Elmo Steak House that are still setting the standard as well as newcomers pushing the dining scene forward. In our three-day itinerary, we’ll dig into Indy staples like pork tenderloin sandwiches, visit several 100+ year old restaurants, and have a refined dinner at Vida, which serves a excellent seasonal tasting menu. Indy is also home to great bakeries, breweries, and one of our favorite tropical bars in the country.
