Indianapolis Recs

[nathajw]

I'm staying there the 17 through 20th of this month for a conference. I've never been anywhere in Indiana except for Bloomington.

My hotel is a stones throw from the Soldiers and Sailors Monument in Monument Circle.

Any recs? Must dos or eats? I have all afternoon and evening on Saturday to myself but pretty much just the evenings Sunday through Tuesday. I'll have a car.

In that area Maxine's Chicken and Waffles is good, and St Elmo's is decent. Neither will change your life from a culinary experience.

I spend some time in Carmel with a fellow board member and it has some neat places, but it's a bit of a drive from downtown.

Agree with St Elmo's. Order the shrimp cocktail.

Just saw this...If you like cajun, Mudbugs is the ONLY place to go for cajun. Best place outside of New Orleans I have ever had. Several friends recommended St. Elmos to me when we moved to Lafayette last year.

I was at land sharks in college with Bo van pelt and we ran into Brett Favre and Antonio Davis. Brett was drunker than I was - quite an accomplishment that night. At that time land sharks was a hole in the wall. There were about 10 people in the bar.

Down the street is Old Pro's Sportsbar. Had some great times there.
