SHHHH! Its Indy's best kept secret.

I've never understood this. I haven't been everywhere, but as far as mid-large sized US cities, Indy is a walk in the park.

I've walked pretty much everywhere in Indy, including downtown at night and the suburbs.
Same for other cities in Indiana and Chicago on foot also at night.
Never felt unsafe even though I've met some shady folks in some areas.

If you're nice to folks they are usually nice to you.I've talked to stranger from all walks of life while wandering int he city, never had a problem.

The way you carry yourself is more important than what you carry, and if folks sense that you're not afraid of them they won't bother you.

Good info I can't easily gain from googling. Thanks!

Need to look up an ethnicity map to figure out where to get some good food.

Duh. Trader's point area. (West side, 71st north to the county line, as far west as 465...) Speaking of, have you called your mother recently?

I can’t believe I forgot Traders Point.

I did call mother on Sunday. We talked for a half hour or so.

For Mediterranean food you should visit Santorini's Greek Kitchen in Fountain Square.

Shapiro's has $20 Reuben's so that makes them good. Right?

Good Restaurants are even more scattered than good neighborhoods. You can pretty much find whatever you want, with the exception of really good Tex-Mex, but you'll have to drive if you like a variety.

Santorini's is closed.

All of the people that say there are no nice parts in Indy are the same ones that are too scared to visit Indy.

I visit Indy a lot, you know that, but I always head West, back to the Promised Land outside of 465 when I’m done! We WILL build the Raceway Road Wall, and make all you inner donuters pay for it!!

This sounds like a plan!

And so to in the restaurant biz. As I recall Santorinis was supposed to close when the founders wanted to retire. Then somebody bought them out and kept it open. That only lasted a couple years and they recently closed for good.

I'm not even sure if there are any greek restaurants here anymore. The Acropolis also closed several years ago.

If you like Cuban food, Havana Cafe at 38th and Moller Rd is very good.

You need to travel 100 miles away from the center of Indy to find nice parts.

Wouldn't that just put you in Cincinnati/Louisville/Evansville/Gary/FortWayne (delete as applicable)?

I like the country.

I like the city.

Good and bad everywhere.

Although Cincinnati is the closest, none of those are within 100 miles of Indy. Evansville is much closer to 200 miles(as someone who makes that drive semi-regularly it seems even farther) and Gary is pushing 160.
