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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Andrea Muirragui DavisOne of just three Maker’s Mark restaurants in the country—the others are in Louisville, Ky., and Kansas City,

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?

You guys have some "interesting" comments to say the least. I hope you will call in and share those opinions starting June 1. I'm looking forward to having you on the air.
For those who let this information strike a nerve, remember that this is still the America that allows the freedom to achieve dreams and goals. Should you really chastise those who are given a perk on a deal that is supported by the consumer (that is until they don't like the deal anymore due to envy) or should the dream of rewards for working be looked at a little closer? I say lets stick to the deal, go to work,earn our keep, shoot for dreams, change our jobs to have that dream or shut up about others achievements ..............while we are still afforded this liberty of America !

Cats out of the bag. The object of the game is to get acquired. That means the company has no idea how to grow beyond a certain point. Email is a 1990s technology. I have laughed at this company since day one. Such a small bit player. If it was anywhere but here, it wouldn't be newsworthy.
Esther, Indy has passed Chicago in the local government corruption arena. Don't downgrade us. We're No. 1 in the Midwest.
