Food Scene
Our favorite places to eat
One of our favorites places to get food as they have options for meat eaters and vegetarians, that both groups actually like. I’m a vegetarian and this is my go to for unhealthy bar food. I highly recommend the mushroom rueben for an entree. If you are just going for beer you have to get the fries as they are the best in the area.

If you are going to get food from one place this is it. Whether we are recovering from a night out or have relatives in town this is one place we always go. The list of bagels are endless and delicious. If you eat meat I suggest the morning mess. If you are a vegetarian the vegetarian she’s saucy is the way to go.

One of the only zoo's I have been to where the animals are always swimming, rolling, or playing in the summer. There are also babies throughout many of the exhibits. The animals that live here and are clearly happy, which is one of the reasons it is my favorite zoo I've ever been too.
If you want a really unique experience during the summer be sure to look up what time the parrot demonstration is at. During this they allow the flock to free fly from their enclosure, across the zoo, to a perch before flying at the guests, without flying into them!

Farmer's Market
The Saturday morning farmers market in both Broad Ripple and Carmel are a must visit! If you are in the mood for fresh fruit and veggies, Broad ripple is your go to. If you want an array of Breakfast food, and often times live music, be sure to visit Carmel! Locations of both markets change from summer to winter, so be sure to look them up.
