As you probably know by now, I’m always on the lookout for great restaurants and bars to share with you. I often find myself at The Fashion Mall in Indianapolis and, if you know this part of town, you’ve probably seen Provision restaurant attached to Ironworks Hotel. The establishment’s second-story deck has caught my eye…

New Mass Ave Bookstore Fills a Gaping Hole In Indy
When compared to similarly sized cities like Cincinnati and Louisville, Indianapolis has a notable gap in one specific area — independent bookstores. Jake Budler and Julia Breakey noticed this hole and decided to do something about it. The couple is the driving force behind Tomorrow Bookstore, a welcoming space that aims to build community while…
We Found Mickey Mouse Pancakes Bigger Than Disney World’s (In Indy!)
I grew up going to Walt Disney World Resort and now I love to take my girls as often as I can. Since life isn’t a permanent vacation, though, and I want them to experience destinations outside of Magic Kingdom, too, we don’t always make it to Lake Buena Vista as often as we’d like….
Check Out One of North America’s Top 50 Speakeasies In Indianapolis
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.

Indy’s Newest Restaurant Has Bourbon, Tequila, & Chips as Big as Your Face
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…
Visit the Hidden Speakeasy In the Bottleworks Hotel Lobby
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…
You Can Be Immersed In 19th-Century Paris Without Leaving Indy Right Now
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,…
Visit a Fountain Square Bar That Was a Speakeasy Before It Was Cool
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. Tonight, we’re trekking to Indianapolis’s Fountain Square neighborhood to spend some time at The Brass Ring…
Indy Suburb Gets the Hippest New Coffee Shop In Town
Of all Indianapolis’s suburbs, Greenwood, almost indisputably, has the most “small town” feel. The area is still bordered by farmland, and it feels like you’re miles from civilization just a few minutes out of town (even though you’re actually mere miles from I-65). Main Street is home to the usual suspects — legal offices, a…
