Like Milktooth, you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. It’s seasonal, and the menu
changes frequently, but trust us when we say it’s worth a visit. And grab a popsicle at Nicey treat
that’s close by for a post-meal yummy.

Some of our favorite cocktails in the city get made here. They’re aces at mixology and their food

Need some thai, stat? Mosey over to Siam Square for some asian cuisine. Located in Fountain
Square, what it lacks in curb appeal, it makes up for with some serious grub. Favorites include: Pad
Thai (duh), Drunken Noodles, Thom Kah Gai, and the Roti Roll for dessert.

Located in Indy’s former police stable (aka, a livery), this swanky joint is a for sure hit. Do not, I
repeat, do not skip on getting the cauliflower on the menu. Did we mention they have
empanadas?! If it’s a nice day, be sure to ask for patio seating!
