What to for a nice night out in Indy

[ctbreitwieser]

Well INGO, you've been lots of help to me in the past, but I've never asked a question like this. I'm going to Indy sometime this weekend to pick up my supressor from Corey, and my girlfriend wants to come along. I would like to turn it into a nice night out, but I've never spent more than afternoon in Indy. So I come to you asking for advice on things we could do, or places we could go for fun, and food. I would like to make it somewhat romantic... ya, ya, sorry, but I just need some help so I can make this a special night for the both of us. Thanks a lot.

If you're going downtown, there are many good restaurants down there that you'll be happy with. If you end up at Ruth's Chris, tell them it's your anniversary. They used to bring out a couple of huge strawberries drizzled in chocolate syrup. Carriage ride maybe? I think the Children's Museum is pretty good, even for adults. If you want to see more deer than you will ever see in your life, take a drive through Eagle Creek park. It depends on what you are into, lots of stuff to do.

okay...here it how it is going down.

You make your purchase and leave. You know you can't ask her to let you try out the suppresor that day. That would be rude. However, You happen to run into FullAuto from Military Arms Channel and he chooses to do a review on your supressor. After the GF shoots MAC steps in and trashes the suppressor. Says it it loud and aay too much money was spent on it. You could buy alot of things with that kind of money. MAC then offers a solution for a better silencer (Not suppressor) he hands a box to the op. They opend the box and a diamond ring is in there. She goes completely quiet (silienced) and says yes. You my friend just shot to supressors with only one pull of the trigger. After that any motel 6 will do.

If you feel so inclined, once you leave BGF you can head downtown and hit the museum or some of the other things. I'd take her out to one of the higher end restaurants there are a few. Name some things you like to eat and how much you'd like to spend and i'll help narrow it down. As far as romance goes, if you go to the circle once it starts getting dark you can take a carriage ride around the downtown area...I've never really saw the appeal of watching a horse **** in a bag, but chicks dig it. Send me a PM before you head down and i'll give you some places to park for free/cheap and let you know what events are going on at the time.

Mortons, Eagles Nest, Fogo de Choa for a romantic dinner followed by a horse drawn carriage ride... I recommend Blue Ribbon Carriages... they are the best company on the circle

If you do decide on a carriage ride, pick one up on the circle and ask them for the northern tour of the parks and monuments. Either that or go all out for the Lockerbie tour. Much more quiet, romantic, and secluded than the normal hustle and bustle through downtown tour. If you get the right driver they will actually take you through the parks up on the walkways and such. It's gorgeous.

Screw that fancy stuff. Go for a stroll and find all the winos. There is usually one at Washington/College. Most people think he's dead. Don't worry, he's just sleeping...probably.

Perhaps a stroll thru the homeless camp at Davidson/Maryland. Keep your hand on your wallet. And don't worry, you won't have to outrun them. You just have to outrun your girl.

Life's short...live hard.

Too bad it's not going to be warmer,the canal is actually a nice walk at night

 

[ctbreitwieser]

Thanks a lot guys. Seems like a carriage ride is the way to go. As far as eating, neither of us are picky at all. Id like to keep the meal between $50-60 for the both of us.

 

[chezuki]

There's a Steak 'n Shake on the circle. Live it up!

 

[mcolford]

Could always go to "Slippery Noodle Inn"... Dont know if you are much for Blues, but the live bands are great, food is great, and even my wife who isn't really into that type of thing had a good time.

 

[robbran144]

Fogo is out, that's a bill easy. Worth it though if you like meat

 

[PapaScout]

For $50-$60 you can eat at either McCorrmick and Schmicks or Harry and Izzy's if you're careful. Both have great atmosphere and food.

I hate carriage rides but to each his or her own.

 

[PistolBob]

Best meal downtown in the price range is Iaria's over on College Ave.

Iaria's Italian

Then go to Fountain Square for an hour of Duckpin Bowling.

Then head back to the center of town for a Carriage Ride with Yellow Rose carriages.

End the night with some good Blues at the Slippery Noodle on the corner of South and Meridian Street.

Especially if you want to add to the number of people who have been the victims of armed robbery and assault there.

Try the Claddagh for some Irish food, or go to the Spaghetti Factory. Buca di Beppo is a good choice, but expect to take home a doggy bag.

I was gonna suggest hanging out around 16th and Sherman, or 10th and Linwood, or anywhere down on Michigan west of Sherman.
