Food & Wine Magazine released its second annual list of “The Best Coffee in Every State,” and Tinker Coffee (1125 W. 16th St., 317-438-5728) got the nod in Indiana. The editors noted the roastery’s recent move from its small original location at 212 E. 16th St. to the 10,000 square-feet facility a mile and a half away, and gave props to founders and owners Steve Hall and Jeff Johnson for turning Indy into a coffee destination. “There was coffee here before Hall and Johnson showed up in 2014,” says writer David Landsel, “but Tinker has turned the city into a player.”
Spring has officially arrived. Garcia’s Hot Dog Cart is open for the season at the corner of 16th Street and Emerson Avenue. Abacuc Garcia has been operating the cult favorite hot dog cart for seven years.
