Northside Social

This week’s roundup of Indy’s hottest dining news.

Bite Club’s Indianapolis chapter makes its debut this week on the Food Network.

Indy dining news this week includes Tilly’s Tea Room’s relocation, the opening date of Flat 12’s hoagies shop, and a new chef at Northside Kitchenette and Northside Social.

Customized DIY creations can be adorned with a la carte options that include seven types of bacon, 10 cheeses, and other add-ons as random as apple chutney and chicken gravy.

We were impressed from the moment we entered: Delicia packs plenty of panache. Sure, it’s on board with the reclaimed-wood trend. But here, the exposed wood beams are mixed in with ambient lighting, a curved partial wooden ceiling, glass arched accents, and white-glazed brick walls. It definitely works.

One of the few grown-up watering holes in Broad Ripple, this mod bar has the polish and straight lines that make for a sophisticated place to drink.
