Indianapolis

Indianapolis, often referred to as Indy, is the biggest city in Indiana as well as the state’s capital. A planned city, Indianapolis was founded in 1821 along the banks of the White River. Perhaps most well known as the home of the famed Indianapolis 500 race, the city is also well regarded as a foodies dream. Conde Nast called Indianapolis the “most underrated food city in America,” and multiple restaurants and chefs in the city have been James Beard Award finalists. Unique dishes specific to the city itself are always popular, and there are dozens of local breweries open across the city.
