It’s no secret that I love to travel. My ultimate dream is to spend a week or two at home, a week or two seeing the world, rinse and repeat for the rest of my life. Since that isn’t always possible right now with two little ones, I enjoy filling in the gaps by discovering…
When Marine & Lawn reimagined Rusacks St. Andrews in 2021, the hotelier was tasked with preserving 135 years of history, while offering all of the amenities modern travelers desire. Previously known as the Marine Hotel, Rusacks Marine Hotel, and, from 2001 to 2019, Macdonald Rusacks Hotel, the building that now houses Rusacks St. Andrews originally opened…
When guests step into the lobby of Rusacks St. Andrews Hotel, they’re met with a space that feels exactly like one would expect a resort at one of the world’s greatest golf courses to feel. There’s an ornate fireplace, leather-bound books, dark-paneled walls, and posh furnishings that scream “Scottish manor house.” The property’s signature restaurant,…
Note: If you’ve been wondering why I haven’t posted since March 9, we just returned from an amazing week-and-a-half in Scotland and Ireland. I’ll be sharing several of my favorite spots from our latest trip over the next few weeks, but we’re diving in with a space that tops my list — 18 at Rusacks…
Yelp recently released its list of the Top 50 Speakeasies In the U.S. and Canada and, lo and behold, an Indianapolis establishment made the list. Wiseguy Lounge is showcased at #25.

If you’re an Indianapolis local on social media lately, you’ve probably seen something about Antilogy. This new Indy-area restaurant has been making waves on Instagram, with diners who visited during its opening week raving about their overall experience. Antilogy is a unique addition to a commercial area that is mostly populated with chain stores and…
If you were to ask my husband and me our favorite shots, I would hands-down say Woodford Reserve and he would immediately answer Don Julio. So it should come as no surprise that as soon as I found out about Agave & Rye’s newest location — it’s first in Indianapolis — I knew I had…
Ever since its revitalization, the Bottleworks District is easily one of my favorite Indianapolis neighborhoods. I’ve taken you inside Bottleworks Hotel before, so I figured it was high time to introduce you to the speakeasy-style spot that’s hidden in plain sight just inside the lobby. When you enter the hotel, it’s easy to miss the…
Within about five minutes of meeting me (or reading my blog), most people figure out that I’m both a Francophile and an art lover. Thus, it should come as no surprise that The Lume at Newfields is one of my favorite indoor activities in the Circle City. The current immersive exhibit, Monet & Friends Alive,…
On Instagram this week, someone told me I’m the “speakeasy girl,” and I can’t say that I mind the moniker. I love taking you inside Deco-inspired bars that transport you to last century, at least for a few hours.
