Guys,
 I'm going to be in Indy at the speedway Nov 8-12.  Anything good to eat and areas to stay away from?  Thanks in advance...

It's good.  I thought the shrimp cocktail at Prime 47 was better (albeit a copy) and the steak may have been a little better too.



 

Stay away from the east side. Very target rich environment.

My wife wants to go to St Elmos again, that cocktail sauce is something else.

Roger that. I live in Atlanta so I assume it's same same.

West side - Lafayette Square area is not good now either.



 

Downtown isn't bad, near north side and everything east is a shithole. Stay downtown or out in the burbs. Brownsburg or Avon isn't bad and is close to Speedway

Another Georgia guy chiming in...

I'll be in Indianapolis next week.  I'm staying across the street from the convention center.  I won't have a car so I won't be straying very far from that area.  Other than the Soldiers and Sailors monument is there anything else within walking distance worth checking out?

If you like the blues, google "The Slippery Noodle Inn". The Scottish Rite Cathedral is pretty cool, but I don't know about walking distance. As mentioned, St. Elmos (take lot's of money), they are renowned for their shrimp cocktail sauce. Downtown Indy, like most cities now, has it's share of homeless people.

More fine dining. LINK

I'd already heard of The Noodle.  Sounds like a cool place.

We have a Fogo in Atlanta I've been to a few times.  I always leave miserable but I guess that's the point.

It is a cool place. What other bar can you visit and see bullet holes in the wall fired by John Dillinger?  From the Noodle's website:

"The "Inn" has been used in all types of activities. In the Civil War years it was a way station for the Underground Railroad. Later years saw a bordello open in the once luxurious Inn. It remained open until 1953 when a patron was killed. Two customers of the bordello got into an argument over one of the women, one killing the other and leaving the bloody knife on the bar. During Prohibition the Brady & Dillinger gangs used the building in back, originally built as a horse stable for the Inn, for target practice. Several of the slugs remain embedded in the lower east wall. In addition to liquor and beer being distilled in the building, cattle and swine were slaughtered and butchered in the basement. The meat hooks and water lines can still be found in the basement."
