The time is upon us. The biggest media event in America (other than the premier of American Idol, of course), the 2012 Superbowl is set to bring the NFL experience to Lucas Oil Stadium. On February 5, 2012, TV sets across the nation will be tuning in to see the match up between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants, but Indianapolis has plenty to offer outside of the big game.
Keep it Local, Keep it Sustainable
Downtown Indianapolis is spearheading a movement that is focused on crafting artisan menus utilizing fresh, local fare. Even during the cold of winter, City Cafe, one of the first restaurants to boast a local-only menu, manages to keep it fresh.
Something for the Kids
The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis has been consistently voted one of the top museums in the U.S., and if you’ve got some young ones in tow, is a must-see. “From the captivating T. Rexes and duckbill dinosaurs of Dinosphere, to Dale Chihuly’s towering artwork Fireworks of Glass, to the compelling message of The Power of Children, to a joyous ride on a real old-time Carousel, the exhibits and collections of The Children’s Museum fascinate people of all ages.”
Keep Those Toes Tappin’
The neighborhood of Fountain Square is home to a thriving music scene, where everything from blues, punk rock, bluegrass, and hip-hop blend together across the multiple local venues. If you find yourself in town and have an itch for some tunes, check out Radio Radio , White Rabbit Cabaret, or Indy’s Jukebox.
The Indianapolis Convention Center is right next door to the stadium and plays host to many annual gatherings for corporate traveler’s from all across the nation. Luckily for you, intrepid traveler, PC Housing doesn’t just know the best places to see in your spare time, we’ve got furnished apartments, corporate suites, and more than enough rooms for business and corporate travelers heading to Indianapolis.
