DINING: Taking a chance on a casino buffet at Indiana Live!
November 21, 2009
Lou HarryIndy's closest casino has revamped its dining offerings. We take a taste.
MoreDINING: Warm, inviting Italian dining with a Tyler that binds
November 14, 2009
Andrea Muirragui DavisI’ve driven by countless strip-mall eateries without giving them a second glance, but there always has been something
about Carmel’s Mangia! that has drawn my attention. Maybe it’s the exclamation
point.
MoreDINING: Frosting is tops at Holy Cow, Cupcakes!
November 7, 2009
Andrea Muirragui DavisAt this Rangeline Road cupcakery, it's the sweet stuff that counts.
MoreDINING: Zionsville's Oobatz! earns its punctuation
October 31, 2009

MoreDINING: Beyond the bread at new Northside bakery
October 24, 2009

MoreDINING: At 86th and Ditch, a revamped pearl among bistros
October 17, 2009
Lou HarryThird in a series of reviews near the north-side intersection.
MoreDINING: Eclectic menu highlights flower-powered eatery
October 10, 2009
Andrea Muirragui DavisIt may be situated smack-dab in the middle of a strip mall, but Tulip Noir is not just another cookie-cutter eatery serving
up the same old food
MoreDINING: 'Bucket' pales next to others at busy intersection
October 3, 2009
Lou HarryThis month, we’ll hit a quartet of recent restaurant arrivals near the already competitive culinary intersection
of 86th Street and Ditch Road. First up: Rusty Bucket Corner Tavern.
MoreDINING: In Whitestown, a culinary wonder
September 26, 2009
Lou HarryFourth in IBJ's month-long series of reviews of reborn cafes. This week: L.A. Cafe.
MoreDINING: New IMA eatery keeps things new
September 19, 2009
Lou HarryThe menu changes weekly at the Indianapolis Museum of Art's new eatery, Nourish.
MoreDINING: Soup is center stage at revamped downtown eatery
September 12, 2009
Andrea Muirragui DavisCafe Zuppa fills in for the departed Gabriel's Cafeteria, offering an ample—and ambitious—menu.
MoreDINING: Canal eatery recreated
September 5, 2009
Lou HarryIt’s called Creation Cafe (337 W. 11th St., 955-2389), but a better name for the restaurant at the top of the downtown
canal might be Re-creation Café.
MoreDINING: A worthwhile stop on the road to IU
August 29, 2009
Lou HarryEven the most hard-core local-restaurant advocates make exceptions when they hit the road. But on a recent drive, I found
an alternative to fast-food pit stops.
MoreDINING: Tomato fare at the fair
August 17, 2009
Lou HarryHow do the five finalists in the Indiana State Fair signature food competition hold up for our taste-testers?
MoreDINING: Iaria's name may provide jokes, but Italian classics satisfy
August 10, 2009
Lou HarryIaria’s Italian Restaurant has been around since 1933, but that’s no reason to feel guilty
about making fun of its name. Go on, chuckle about how it’s only a slightly better name than “Isintary.”
You are forgiven.
MoreDINING: I Love Sushi feeds raw fish ardor
August 3, 2009
Andrea Muirragui DavisWhen we chose our review theme for August—The “I”s Have It—I jumped at the
chance to try I Love Sushi.
MoreDINING: The Eiteljorg cafe where soup is always on
July 27, 2009
Lou HarryIf all outdoor dining were as comfortable and stress-free as Sky City Cafe's, maybe I'd do it more often.
MoreDINING: We'll take sushi over cigars, now and Zen
July 20, 2009
Andrea Muirragui DavisThis week, our exploration of the city’s cultural district dining took us to Mass Ave, where the culinary cultural
offerings just might outnumber the artsy fartsy stuff. Our destination: Bu Da Lounge (429 Massachusetts Ave., 602-3643), which
bills itself as an Asian-inspired cigar bar but is generating buzz for its sushi selection.
MoreDINING: (Piz)'Za made for the middle of the night
July 13, 2009
Lou HarryIf you’re in Broad Ripple and hungry for pizza, you’ve got lots of options. But what do you do if it’s the
middle of the night on a Thursday and you and your entourage have the munchies? Well, for that very specific
demographic group of pizza eaters, there’s now ’Za, which is open until 4 a.m. Wednesday
to Saturday.
MoreDINING: Backward-named eatery, forward-thinking fusion
July 6, 2009
Lou HarrySearch the Web for Naisa and you may come up with the North American International Auto Show or the Native American and Indigenous
Studies Association. Neither has anything to do with the new Naisa Pan-Asian Cafe (1025 Virginia Ave., 602-3708), where the
name comes from simply reversing the letters in the word Asian.
MoreDINING: Upscale eatery makes its mark on Shelbyville casino
June 29, 2009
Andrea Muirragui DavisOne of just three Maker’s Mark restaurants in the country—the others are in Louisville, Ky., and Kansas City,
Mo.—the upscale eatery would have been a good fit in downtown Indianapolis or in one of the suburban dining-and-shopping
meccas.
MoreDINING: Game on at food-and-play spot
June 22, 2009
Lou HarryWhen you play Skee-ball and aim for the
100-point hole, you miss most of the time. However, if you aim for the 30, you have a much better chance
of scoring. You might not get a high score, but you'll win enough
tickets to want to play again. How does that translate into my dining
experience at the new Dave & Buster's?
MoreDINING: No waffling, Maxine's delivers
June 15, 2009
Andrea Muirragui DavisIt felt weird to pull into a gas station parking lot in search of lunch. But we forgot we were in a former auto repair shop
as soon as we walked into Maxine's
Chicken & Waffles, attached to the Citgo station at Ohio and East streets.
MoreDINING: Binkley's Kitchen & Bar reclaims former drug store site
June 8, 2009
Lou HarryBinkley's Drug Store occupied the corner of Kessler and College from 1928 to the early
1970s. Its namesake now occupying the same spot, Binkley's Kitchen & Bar, seems equally built
to last—a friendly neighborhood joint that glances back without wallowing in nostalgia and stays progressive without
being
trendy.
MoreDINING: Quick-serve Roscoe's Tacos keeps quality intact
June 1, 2009
Lou HarryI'll make the case that Roscoe's Tacos (642 S. Madison Ave., Greenwood) deserves a spot among those who rotate among the area's
many Mexican restaurants. That's because this eatery's operators know what they want to do and do it well.

Same kind of Luddites who oppose I-69. Guessing their 501(c)(4) application probably sailed right through the IRS.
It hurts me that Indianapolis is turning into Chicago south with the rampant corruption that exists in our local government. Favors and money being passed back and forth like candy.
With Kravitz's huge ego I'm sure he would be confident in his ability to lower the quality of arts coverage to the mediocre level to which the STAR aspires overall. Besides, coverage of the arts is largely nonideological and requires that opinion be based on knowledge, which would disqualify the vast majority of the dwindling staff.
I wonder which of the altruistic industry/civic leaders who are promoting this plan have tied up cheap land purchase options on the "prime waterfront real estate" surrounding this future reservoir?
I'm sorry but what are Abdul's credentials for giving legal advice and opinions? Paul Ogden and Gary Welsh would be much better candidates.
