Bazbeaux Pizza

Indianapolis doesn’t have a signature style of pizza—or does it?

On downtown’s best street, the action shifts to the west end.

Forget Old Fashioneds, it’s Sazerac season, baby!

Whether you’re participating in Devour Downtown for the first time or the 11th, be sure to take a few friends along to sample as much Indy cuisine as possible.

“This is probably the mecca for people-watching in Indianapolis,” says Scott Pallikan, an IFD Station 32 fireman. “You’re going to see pretty much everything the city has to offer.”

Including the spicy chicken chipotle tacos from The Tamale Place.

Including the vegan cookies-and-cream cake at the Mass Ave and Carmel Bazbeaux locations.

We’ve collected links to several recent local and national stories about dining in Indianapolis during the Super Bowl. Here, a few of our favorites.

Some al fresco tables announce themselves from the curb—little wrought iron two-tops arranged along the edges of parking lots and busy sidewalks.

Want to sip wine in an urban garden that looks like something straight out of West Side Story (with strings of lights and Friday night movies, no less)?

The fenced-in patio attached to Revolucion is your hallowed ground. Here, a few more of our favorite secluded places to get a little air with dinner.
