EDITOR’S ITINERARY

LEIGH HARRINGTON

C E L E B R AT I N G 8 0 Y E A R S O F T R AV E L

Essential Indianapolis Back East where I’m from, there’s an historic neighborhood or enclave at every turn. The South End, Beacon Hill and the North End are three that come to mind, each less than a 10-minute walk from the heart of downtown Boston. In a city that’s approaching its 400th birthday, it doesn’t come as much of a surprise, but that’s not to say that ‘newer’ places charming, stroll-worthy historic districts. Case in point: Indianapolis’ Lockerbie Square, one of my favorite places to roam. Stop by, for a quick bit of culture.

80 MINUTES IN: According to the National Park Service, Lockerbie Square is the oldest remaining residential neighborhood in downtown Indianapolis. Today, many homes from the mid-to-late 19th century still stand, the time period when Scottish, Irish and German folk began settling the milesquare area. Architecture and design elements are adorably varied, running the gamut from high-style brick to Swiss chalet to colorful woodframed cottage. Streets are tree-lined and often feature cobblestones

Lockerbie Square

or brickwork. Notably, American writer and poet James Whitcomb Riley rented a room in a friend’s home here during the enclave’s heyday, and now the incredibly well-preserved Italianate structure is a museum that visitors can explore.

Get going! Explore the city at wheretraveler.com.

Spend an hour and a half walking Lockerbie Street, North Park Avenue, East Vermont Place and East Tippecanoe Street and taking in the atmosphere, which is quiet despite being located in the heart of the city.

Between North Cleveland and Davidson streets, East N and Miami streets.

DINING DISH

Curb Your Appetite Indianapolis has something of a food truck scene. Just visit regular downtown gatherings like First Friday Food Truck Festival at Old National Center and Food Truck Fridays at Georgia Street. Come November, these mobile meal providers put it in park until spring, but that doesn’t mean diners can’t still sample Indy’s best street food.

T

hese days, food delivery goes way beyond pizza and low mein. With the recent rise of services like GrubHub and OrderUp, at-home and hotel-room diners can even get food delivered from local, non-chain restaurants. But ClusterTruck, a food tech startup which launched in Indianapolis this past April, takes an entirely different approach to delivering fresh, local food.

ClusterTruck was inspired by the food truck culture of highly specialized, small-scale kitchens making quality food fast. And, since this kind of food is made to be eaten on the go, it naturally travels well.

ClusterTruck’s menu of 100-plus items is organized by “virtual food trucks” like “Lazy Breakfast,” “Tots Tots Tots,” “Backstreet Wings” and “Noodle Caboodle,” each covering

Other delivery services design their food to last at least 45 minutes. Here, that’s not an issue, so we can make it for quality.

—McIntosh its own culinary genre. Also, two local restaurants, The Mug and Bru Burger, license a handful of their signature recipes to be made here.

The delivery-only kitchen in downtown Indy is powered by software that ensures everything is timed just right—from prep to cooking to delivery. Executive Chef Tim McIntosh said the fact that there is no front-ofhouse to manage allows him to run his kitchen like a well-oiled machine.

Plus, the ClusterTruck delivery fleet is around 20-25 drivers, delivering 400 or more orders on any given day and working a lot like Uber drivers, showing up to pick up and deliver orders on demand.

ClusterTruck’s aims to have the meal ready to hand off to the driver as soon as he or she pulls up to the curb, minimizing the time the finished food is waiting to be eaten to the drive time between the kitchen and your location—which, with a 3-mile delivery radius, isn’t long.

Truck To Table When temperatures drop, much of Indianapolis’ vibrant food truck culture goes dormant.

Fortunately, there are a few trucks that have brick-and-mortar restaurants to which we can retreat over the winter months.

Kaffeine Coffee

KAFFEINE COFFEE Chris and Amanda Kilander perk up the Mass Ave ‘hood with single-origin coffees and specialty brewing processes like Chemex pour-overs are the focus.

WHERE NOW Indianapolis LOCAL FLAVOR

Righteous Ramen

The Midwest may be the land of meat and potatoes, but there’s a new comfort food on the rise in Indianapolis.

Japanese ramen is a hot, savory dish of noodles swimming in rich broth, usually topped with a slice of roasted pork, plenty of fresh vegetables and a soft-boiled egg.

RAMEN RAY As authentic as it gets, Ramen Ray is a mom-andpop restaurant run by a Japanese couple who came to Indianapolis less than two decades ago. They specialize in sapporo-style ramen, which uses thin, wavy noodles imported from Hokkaido in northern Japan. Pork and chicken broths are made from scratch and enriched with miso, soy sauce or sea salt for extra flavor. 5628 E. 71st St., 317.288.7120

KIZUKI RAMEN & IZAKAYA Kizuki ramen chain is imported straight from Japan.

It offers a wide variety of noodle styles and broths, from extra-rich Garlic Tonkotsu Shoyu ramen to light, citrusy Yuzu Shio ramen to broad, chewy Tsukemen dipping noodles. 2450 E. 146th St., 317.218.3553

Ramen at Rook

ROOK This locally grown contemporary Asian fusion restaurant recently moved into the hip Fletcher Place ‘hood. Check the Bowls section of the menu for a rotating selection of nontraditional noodle dishes like cold ramen with shrimp and ramp kimchi in spicy ginger broth. 501 Virginia Ave., 317.737.2293

Hyper Hoosier

Literary

The Indy 500 is a highlight on the city’s calendar, attracting 400,000 spectators every May. At other times, visitors can experience the hype and learn about racing history at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame Museum (1). For an activity with a slower pace, head for The Canal and White River State Park (2), a beautiful waterway and stunning urban green space smack in the beating heart of downtown. Then, the Indiana War Memorial Museum (3) inspires feelings of patriotism with exhibits that chronicle the bravery and sacrifice of Hoosier soldiers throughout history.

Indiana State Museum (1) is quintessentially ‘local’ having been constructed entirely of native Indiana materials. Plus, hands-on exhibits capture the culture of each of the state’s 92 counties. For a gustatory venture, stop for a bite at Omni Hotel’s 1913 Restaurant (2) to sample Indy’s famously favorite dessert, sugar cream pie. Then, toast a day of sightseeing with a pint at the city’s first microbrewery Broad Ripple Brewpub (3) which was founded by Brits and offers a neighborhood pub vibe and killer beer-blended cheese fondue.

One of Indiana’s literary stars is honored at the Kurt Vonnegut Memorial Library (1) with a replica of the writer’s working space—available for photo ops—as well as Vonnegut’s drawings, reading glasses and Purple Heart on display. Poetry enthusiasts can head to the James Whitcomb Riley Museum (2) and step back in time for a glimpse at the poet’s life through exhibits of authentic artifacts like Riley’s top hat and cane.

Browse the shelves at Indy Reads Books (3) and spend a few bucks on new and used titles. Here’s a tip: Children’s books are just one dollar.
