Leap Year

CHRISTIANA Bertsch

T H IS MON T H marks the one-year anniversary of a fateful day in the history of this publication. On the Monday after Thanksgiving (November 28), the IM staff was called into a meeting wherein Emmis Communications officers announced that Indianapolis Monthly would officially be sold to Hour Media later that week. We were aware the sale was coming, but we did not know five coworkers wouldn’t be retained in the deal. We did not foresee several more staff members departing for varied reasons. If you look at each issue’s masthead, you probably noticed the list of names shrinking in the early months of this year. Our full crew in Indy dwindled to an impossibly small roster of just six people. I’m not sure how we continued to produce the magazine month after month, but somehow our “tiny staff that could” pulled together to keep the title in circulation. As part of the ownership transfer, Indianapolis Monthly was paired with Cincinnati Magazine, also a former Emmis title. Throughout the past year, publisher Ivy Bayer and the CM staff have acted as our backbone, supporting and guiding us while we rebuild our ranks and navigate changes to our operating practices and procedures. I can’t say that we are on a perfectly even keel just yet, but our colleagues in Ohio have been instrumental in keeping us afloat and helping us right the ship. In his final letter to readers, former editor-in-chief Michael Rubino saluted the cohorts unable to join us in this new era of Indy Monthly. Now it’s my turn to sing the praises of the talented, resourceful veteran staff—Julia Spalding, Margo Wininger, Christina Vercelletto, and Nancy Oliphant—who have put forth a herculean effort to sustain the magazine. Megan Fernandez, who served as our interim editor-in-chief, certainly deserves a nod for her leadership in the early months of this year. I am thrilled to have welcomed eight new faces to the IM team since May. The energy in the office has been reinvigorated with fresh voices, perspectives, and skill sets. We are only beginning to observe what we can accomplish together, and I can’t wait to see what 2024 holds for us.

Since joining the Indianapolis Monthly team in June, Christiana Bertsch has had her hands full as a production designer, preparing ads each month. When she isn’t working, the Fountain Square resident enjoys exploring her community, connecting with friends, and spending time with her many “niblings.” Christiana can also be spotted at North Mass Boulder having a post-workout treat in the Top Out Café (p. 42).

The Mural of the Story

Indianapolis is getting another gigantic piece of public art this month with the unveiling of Legends at Bicentennial Unity Plaza downtown.

NOVEMBER 2023 | IM

( SPEED READ CON T I NUE D ) IT’S THE FINAL INSTALLMENT OF A SERIES.

The mural, located on the east wall of the Steak ’n Shake building overlooking Bicentennial Unity Plaza outside Gainbridge Fieldhouse, is the last of four in the City of Indianapolis Bicentennial Legends series, which also includes paintings of Marshall “Major” Taylor on the downtown headquarters of Barnes & Thornburg, Madam C.J. Walker at Pathways to Peace Park on Senate Avenue, and Etheridge Knight on the side of the Chatterbox Jazz Club. This installment features portraits of 43 legendary Indianapolis figures, surrounded by flora native to our state. THE ARTIST WHO PAINTED IT HAS A UNIQUE

TECHNICALLY, IT’S A MEMORIAL. A 40person committee spent six months debating the qualities of nearly 200 candidates who met the criteria of being active in the community between 1820 and 2020 and now-deceased. The committee then considered the strength of candidates’ connection to Indy, their contributions to the common good, and the extent of their legacy beyond Indiana. The final lineup includes Julia Carson, Eli Lilly, Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Madam C.J. Walker, and James Whitcomb Riley.

design with assistance from Indianapolis-based painter Phyllicia Carr. But the conditions were preferable to those she faced last December in Chicago. “I wore two pairs of gloves while I painted, and on the extra cold days, I had to go inside every 20 minutes or so to thaw out my fingers,” she says. She now tries to schedule indoor work during the winter months in northern states. BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN IT WAS EASY.

“This might have been the most involved project I’ve ever done because of all the portraits,” says Murphy. On a good day, she could finish two. She cut her teeth painting in oils but transitioned to hardier acrylics (which stand up better to the elements) for murals. The brushes she used for the mural were big enough to handle the trim work on a house, and instead of penciling in the massive image before

a roster of the folks who made the final cut, then researched their lives and gathered existing photos. “If they had any living relatives, we would check in with them to make sure we chose the image that would show their ancestor as they wanted them represented.” DESPITE BAD WEATHER, THE PROJECT DIDN’T TEST MURPHY’S ENDURANCE AS MUCH AS OTHER PROJECTS. Murphy spent July and August—often in the hot sun or dodging thunderstorms—executing the 12

painting, she projected an outline onto the wall. “It saved time,” she says. SHE HAD TO SQUASH ANY FEAR OF HEIGHTS.

The bottom of the mural starts 15 feet above the ground, and the entire piece is 48 feet high. When Murphy painted the flowers in the top right corner, she used a scissor crane that lifted her roughly 63 feet off the ground. Yes, she wore a safety harness. Unsurprisingly, the angle made it tough for her to assess her progress. “It meant either stepping back just a little bit on the crane lift or going all the way down to the ground for a look,” she recalls. THE BICENTENNIAL UNITY PLAZA IS ON TREND. From the Jiffy Lube murals commissioned by Jiffy Lube of Indiana president Steve Sanner; to the floral motifs painted on residential garages in Broad Ripple’s Flower Alley; to the larger-than-life likenesses of Reggie Miller, Mari Evans, Kurt Vonnegut Jr., and Fountain Square record store owner Larry Mires dotting downtown, oversize murals are having a moment. And not just in Indianapolis. Murphy, who pretty much does nothing but murals these days, agrees that the art form is hot across the country. She’s painted them everywhere from South Chicago to Mississippi. “They’ve become very popular as a way of adding beauty to a concrete wall and also to celebrate a community in a personal, individual way,” she says. — S A M S TA L L

BACKSTORY. Chicago-based muralist Anna Murphy’s accent betrays English and Kentuckian notes because she spent her first 13 years in England before moving to Frankfort, Kentucky. She earned a BFA in Painting and then moved to Chicago, where she fell in love with the community aspect of murals. “It’s just art for everyone,” she says.

Drumstick Dash A MANNER-FESTO FOR THE BROAD RIPPLE RACE ON THANKSGIVING MORNING

On the Wing Q: DURING SUMMER EVENINGS I SEE BATS EVERYWHERE, BUT THEY VANISH COME FALL. WHERE DO THEY GO? A: The bats bug out when their primary sustenance—bugs—disappears. Most of our furry flying friends, including such unimaginatively named species as the Big Brown Bat and the Little Brown Bat, either leave the state or hibernate in caves, abandoned mines, or attics during winter. This exodus from the trees is especially fraught for the endangered Indiana Bat. Much of the population holes up in a handful of secluded caverns in Southern Indiana. If a wayward hiker disturbs the sleeping hordes, the bats experience stress that can be fatal. So the Indiana Department of Natural Resources keeps these caves under watch and even secures entrances with barriers that restrict human access but allow bats to enter and leave freely. The locations are secret; you have a better chance of finding Bruce Wayne’s lair than those of Indiana Bats. — S A M S TA L L

So, it sounds like you got hooked. Yeah, I got hooked, and I loved it. And I had a lot of pressure from friends and others who liked the direction Carmel was moving in to run again. What was the biggest issue you faced when you ﬁrst took office? Getting the city positioned for the growth I knew was coming. I wanted to be more efficient so that we would have the money to build a beautiful city. That involved doing 56 annexations. Some were small, like the farmer who sells 300 acres. But we did about eight really large, multisquare-mile annexations, and those were really tough. I remember someone wrote a letter to the editor that compared me to Hitler marching into Austria. I don’t think so. It was about getting the roads in so people could get in and out quickly and keeping a good tax climate. We have one of the lowest tax rates in the state. What is your proudest achievement? The Palladium. That was a big reach for a city of 60,000 people at the time. You know, it’s a true concert hall, not a theater. There aren’t many of those.

ASK ME ANYTHING

Jim Brainard, mayor OVER THE COURSE OF HIS RECORD SEVEN TERMS, CARMEL BECAME ONE OF THE FASTEST-GROWING CITIES IN THE COUNTRY AND SOARED TO THE TOP OF “BEST PLACES TO LIVE IN AMERICA” LISTS. HE’S BEEN INVITED TO SPEAK ALL OVER THE WORLD ABOUT CITY PLANNING. HERE IS HIS EXIT INTERVIEW. B Y M A RY M I L Z How do you feel about stepping down as mayor? You’re in the ﬁnal stretch. I’m excited about all the things I’ll have time to do. Twenty-eight years is a long time. It’s an intense job, particularly as we’ve taken on big challenges. The city’s grown from 25,000 residents to more than 100,000 during our administration’s tenure. When you ﬁrst ran for mayor did you ever envision seven terms? I wanted to do two terms. Carmel 16

IM | NOVEMBER 2023

didn’t have a mayor until 1976. They had a town board government. It became a city and elected its first mayor in 1976. Only Jane Reiman had two terms. I wanted to be successful enough to have at least two. But then you find out we’re in the middle of some really exciting things. We’re attracting some brilliant people from the private sector who gave up higherpaying jobs to work in city government. You’re always in the middle of a project you want to see completed.

As I recall, you didn’t skimp, did you? Lucas Oil Stadium, built three years earlier, cost $800 million. We spent $125 million on two small theaters, a concert hall, and a parking structure. Many communities rely on sports, but not Carmel. We wanted to do something to anchor our downtown. People wanted restaurants and small shops. We had to draw people in and make the area a true center where folks of different backgrounds could come together, feel some ownership, and get to know one other. Indianapolis did that back in the Bill Hudnut days with amateur sports. Actually, a lot of people said what we were doing was hurting downtown Indianapolis. I said no, it’s not. If we do it well, it’s a better package. The city was under-invested in the arts. We can fill the gap without directly competing. Yet, critics worry about the money Carmel’s poured into City Center. Yes, it’s cost us, but we’ve had billions

invested in the area. There are townhomes across from the Palladium that the developer thought three years ago he’d sell for $400,000. One of the last ones just sold for $2.1 million. Another on Main Street was built for around $850,000 and sold a year ago for $2.4 million because people want to be here. So, yes, the initial investment in public facilities was a lot of money, but it’s paid off for us.

Carmel is synonymous with roundabouts. How many now? And how many stoplights are left? We have 151 roundabouts today and are down to seven stoplights. Why roundabouts? I saw them when I was in grad school in England. I asked a lot of questions and learned how efficient they were compared to stoplights. If you’re sitting at a red light, say, at 9 p.m. and you’re the only car around, you’re burning gas. You’re wasting time and money, and it’s bad for the environment. They seemed a lot more logical. We made mistakes with the first one, so we hired a British engineer. He showed us how to make some inexpensive adjustments. It got a lot better.We have six more going in. Four are funded. So Carmel will have one stoplight left? Yes, and, ironically, that stoplight—at Main and Rangeline—was one of the first in the country. There’s a plaque there. That one is safe because there’s just not enough space to put in a circle. Do you have a political role model? Yes, Indianapolis mayors Dick Lugar and Bill Hudnut. I worked for both of them. They were great public servants and political moderates focused on representing taxpayers. You’ve butted heads with members of your own party. Some might say you’ve ruled with an iron ﬁst, somewhat reminiscent of Chicago’s Richard Daley. Is that fair? That’s fair. A lot of people in Carmel didn’t want change. There was a lot of pushback at first. The only question in my mind was, Will change be good or bad? We had to get ahead of it with infrastructure and good planning. Otherwise, Carmel would have been

A LOT OF PEOPLE IN CARMEL DIDN’T WANT CHANGE. THE ONLY QUESTION IN MY MIND WAS “WILL CHANGE BE GOOD OR BAD?” WE HAD TO GET AHEAD OF IT WITH INFRASTRUCTURE AND GOOD PLANNING. OTHERWISE, CARMEL WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE ANY OTHER SUBURB OF ATLANTA, LOS ANGELES, OR DETROIT. like any other suburb of Atlanta, Los Angeles, or Detroit. Sometimes you had to be a bit of a bully to push things through. The staff would want to try to get consensus from the council. I’d say, “I don’t care about consensus. I care about one more vote than 50 percent.”

President Biden won Carmel by four percent. Is it turning blue? I don’t know if it’s more Democrats— or the change in the Republican party, now dominated by what used to be considered the fringe or crazy people. You may quote me on that. It’s the Republican party changing more than Carmel becoming more liberal. Do you plan to stay in Carmel? Yep. What will you do with your free time? IU Press has asked me to do another book, so I’ll get to work on it. I’m on several boards. The national Railsto-Trails Conservancy is fun because they’re building a trail from Seattle to Washington, D.C. It’s going to be the Appalachian Trail on steroids. And what about your leisure time? I’m not going to lie around and watch TV. I like to bicycle. I’m trying to get my embouchure [lip technique] back in shape for the French horn. I also play my piano a little bit every morning. My other big thing is snow-skiing. I learned as an adult, so I’m not great, but I’m good enough. I look forward to doing that a lot more. Do you ever read for pleasure? The only time I allow myself the opportunity to read a novel is when I’m on a plane, because I don’t like doing serious work on a plane. What’s the last novel you read? I’m in the middle of one now, waiting

for my next plane trip to finish it. It’s a great whodunit. They’re all trapped in a ski resort in the Swiss Alps, and someone winds up dead every few hours. But right now, I’m reading books on architecture, city planning, homelessness, and how to pave streets in different climates.

Any regrets? Oh yeah, lots of things. I’d be more aggressive on the annexations early on because some projects were introduced just a bit too late. Such as? Some engineers suggested that instead of having all these developers build retention ponds, which are dangerous—[their water level rises and falls] depending on the rainfall— we do a big lake or reservoir and have the developers pay to pipe [water runoff] into that. But water runs from north to south, and there just wasn’t enough room on the south side. It was already built up. If we’d gotten on it a little faster, we might have been able to build a big Eagle Creek–like park of 1,000-plus acres. It would have been nice, with sailboats and swimming. What will you not miss about the job? The late-night calls. Carmel is one of the safest cities in the country, yet you still worry about crime, someone with a gun attacking people. But that will no longer be my responsibility. Will it be hard to let go? As I was analyzing whether to run again, I thought of the projects that I wouldn’t have the opportunity to get done. Then I thought, Wait a minute. I’ll be 98 years old! If I get to 98, I’ll still have a list of projects to do. So it becomes, Have we accomplished what we set out to do? We have—many, many times over. NOVEMBER 2023 | IM

NESTLE PERMS WAVE MACHINE VINTAGE: 1930 Resides in the Indiana State Museum

THOUGH IT may look like bizarre experimental chandelier art, this perm device was a hot commodity in the early 1900s. Through trial and error, German immigrant and hairdresser Karl Nessler (later known as Charles Nestle) invented the permanent wave when he built this fascinating contraption in 1905. The tentacled gadget consists of dangling hot rollers suspended from an 80-in-tall metal stand using numerous multi-length cords, as well as various controls and knobs for different settings. Originally owned and operated by Mrs. Catherine Costello, the machine was used in her beauty shop at Claypool Hotel in downtown Indianapolis. Mrs. Costello would give clients’ hair a chemical treatment and then clasp their strands into the machine for a dose of curl-deﬁning heat to create the ideal Shirley Temple look. — A S H L E Y N I X

Changing Their Tune LOCAL SONGSTERS LILY & MADELEINE GET INTROSPECTIVE WITH THEIR LATEST ALBUM, NITE SWIM. BY SET H JOH NSON

Lily and Madeleine agree that the period of isolation in which Nite Swim was made led them down a more introspective path, however. “Even though the record is not necessarily about the pandemic, it certainly touches on emotions that probably everybody felt then. Loneliness, rejection, isolation, 20

and existential questions of identity,” Madeleine says. “Suddenly, we weren’t able to play shows anymore, and I thought to myself, Oh my God. Am I no longer an artist? Will I ever be able to do this again? It’s something that I’m still coming back from. I’m still working through that.” While writing Nite Swim, the sisters also had time to reflect on some of the sacrifices they made as teenagers entering the music industry. “It all happened so fast,” Lily says of how the duo’s music career began. “We met our first manager three days after I turned 15. Basically, we started working as soon as I started high school, so I wasn’t really socialized the same way as my friends were.” Madeleine shares her younger sister’s sentiment when looking back on the duo’s origins. “I don’t regret a lot because I do feel everything adds up to bring us to where we are today, but I certainly wish there were things that we didn’t have to live through, especially Lily,” Madeleine says. “I had the privilege of being able to graduate high school, but Lily didn’t. At the time, it felt like it made sense because we were putting our whole heart and soul into our music career. I don’t regret that, but I still wish that there were choices that we didn’t have to make.” Considering the impact this had on her personally, Lily admits she is still learning to take good care of herself. “I think because work was popping off and we were blowing up so much, my personal life and what I needed as a human being was sort of an afterthought,” she says. “I’ve realized lately that I’ve

spent my 20s thinking that it’s kind of stupid to take care of myself. So I’m trying to learn how to do better at that.” The sisters acknowledge their latest album is darker in tone than previous material, including Canterbury Girls.

“IF CANTERBURY GIRLS IS SUNSET, THEN NITE SWIM IS WHEN THE DARKNESS FINALLY DESCENDS.” “It was about denial and fantasy. If Canterbury Girls is sunset, then Nite Swim is when the darkness finally descends,” Lily says. “It’s about rejection and being left alone with the bad thoughts and the worst parts of yourself … but [finding] acceptance anyway.” After releasing their previous four albums via Asthmatic Kitty Records and New West Records, Lily and Madeleine self-released the latest album with no label backing. “Being independent comes with challenges, but it’s empowering and a learning experience,” Lily says. “I’m feeling pretty good about the future, whatever it holds.” After an East Coast tour in October, the pair is set to headline the Lo-Fi Lounge in Fountain Square on November 25. “We’re doing as much touring as possible,” Lily says. “And we want to get started on the next record.”

SIST E RS Lily and Madeleine Jurkiewicz burst onto the scene THE TICKET with their self-titled debut album in 2013 and have since toured the United States and worked with Hoosier hero John Mellencamp. A decade later, the Indianapolis folk-pop duo is reflecting on the road that led them to where they are today through the lens of their latest album, Nite Swim. Released on October 6, it consists of vignettes from the duo’s lives over the past five years. While it was written during the pandemic, Lily and Madeleine insist it’s not your typical pandemic record. “Our previous album, Canterbury Girls, was made in 10 days, while years of work went into Nite Swim because of the pandemic,” Lily recalls. “But it’s not about the pandemic. Those were just the circumstances surrounding its creation.”

Fall for Elegance As lovers of statement jewelry, we were delighted to discover the work of Fort Wayne crafter Lydia Fast. Each piece is detailed without being gaudy, striking without being heavy. Many of them are nature-inspired. “Whether it’s the choking weeds or the trillium under the Japanese maple, our tiny yard yields endless botanical imagery,” says Fast. Each piece is designed to be constructed with “a minimum of tools but with maximum visual impact.” The process of creation takes 12 to 50 hours, depending on the design. Christened Autumn Bindweed, this neckpiece is made of sterling silver,14-karat gold, glassy enamel on copper, citrine, sugar-like druzy quartz, and freshwater pearls. $2,685.

BY M E G A N F E R NA N D E Z RACH E L M I RABE LLA saw too much plastic when she worked in fast fashion—hangers, tags, individually bagged garments in shipments. When she opened Afterglow Market in Carmel City Center, she vowed to cut waste and work with like-minded labels “going to heroic feats,” says Mirabella, who previously owned Pillow Talk lingerie shop. “They’re using 100-percent recycled materials or easily renewable resources, like hemp and Modal.” You can find fleece jackets, knit skirts, Fair Isle sweaters, and contemporary Spanish blouses made and shipped using organic materials, ethical practices, and minimal packaging. Mirabella also offers a novel buyback program to save outfits from landfill, a fate that befalls some donated clothing. Should you tire of that organic cotton jumpsuit months or even years later, Mirabella will buy it back to resell it. She extends the offer to any sustainable-brand piece in wearable conditon, even if not purchased from her. It’s an example of Indiana’s most renewable resource—good intentions. 26

Bounce House TAKE A LITERAL LEAP OF FITNESS FAITH IN NOBLESVILLE. BY M IC H E L L E M A ST RO

AFT E R WALKI NG my two huge and headstrong dogs twice a day for years, I was looking for a low-impact exercise that wouldn’t strain my knees. That’s how I found myself in a Fling Bungee Fitness class about to attempt something called a “Tinkerbell.” Courtney, the instructor, was a pro at not only Tinkerbells but also “dolphins,” an advanced move that involves a midair spin. “One, two, three—leap!” And suddenly I was soaring. Sooner than I would have liked, I felt my harness’ bungee cords gently stretch to their limit and then pull me back down to Earth. This dream of flying was achieved, albeit briefly, by taking three steps and leaping into the air with one leg pointed down, the other leg bent at the knee, and one arm raised toward the ceiling. It probably should have been called the “Peter Pan,” but no matter—it was a thrilling experience. But the “trust fall,” with only the bungee to trust, gave me pause. The group watched Courtney do one, and then it was our turn. “Find your center, hold out your Try it arms, and fall forward!” she urged. A spunky woman next to me leaned in to Fling Bungee whisper, “I’ll try if you do.” So, we took a Fitness breath, held it, and let ourselves fall like ADDRESS planks of wood toward the floor. Forward 14640 Herriman Blvd., … and then backward. Forward and then Noblesville backward again. It was exhilarating and I NFO made great exercise. ﬂingbungee ﬁtness.com Bungee fitness is a low-impact, full-body workout. The bungee cords create resistance and decrease stress on joints. Advanced “flyers” can even add weights for strength training. “Bungee fitness is especially good for those with arthritis or other joint issues, but [it’s] also for people just looking to liven up their fitness routine,” says Karrie Lacina, owner. The mandatory Intro to Bungee class, where everyone is a nervous beginner and comradery is organic, is the first step.

Brain Booster Clack. Slide. Draw. Mahjong!

W HO RE M E M BE RS the iconic final confrontation in Crazy Rich Asians that made everyone want to learn mahjong? Originating in 19th-century China, mahjong is similar to rummy but uses tiles instead of cards. The term “mahjong” means “sparrow,” a reference to the clacking sound the tiles make—like birds chattering. Whether you’re a devoted player or a curious newbie, the Fishers Mah Jongg Center has you covered. The only place in Indiana dedicated to community mahjong play, its motto is, “Come late, leave early, or play all day.” The advantages extend beyond socializing: One study found that 12 weeks of playing this stimulating game improved executive function in elderly people with mild cognitive impairment. So nourish your mind with a little friendly competition. Fishers Mah Jongg Center, 9006 Technology Ln., Fishers, 317-407-9679 —ASHLEY NIX

spaces and modern updates were a huge plus. Any heavy lifting had been beautifully done by the previous owners, making the unit move-in ready, a key selling point. “There was a moment where it seemed too good to be true,” Kevin recalls. At the end of the tour, he and Beth turned to each other and agreed, “I can see us here.” They can also see virtually the entire city. Thanks to the unit being on a corner of the 14th floor that’s free from visual obstructions, the vantage point delivers panoramic views in three directions. “We can gaze over Hinkle Fieldhouse, the granite stonework of Jordan Hall, and clear up to The Pyramids beyond 86th Street. We’re excited to watch the seasons change from our new perch,” Kevin says. The couple has plans for new paint and carpet, but their three-bedroom, two-bath nest is ready to be enjoyed. With the proximity to their daughters— and Bulldogs basketball games—the Theiles scored their dream home.

BI LLY JOE L famously sang “Wherever REALTY we’re together, that’s CHECK my home.” It was in this spirit that Beth and Kevin Theile of Bloomington searched for a home in Indy, where all three of their daughters reside. They especially hoped to be near Butler University, the alma mater that brought them together as undergrads and where their youngest is a student. The couple scoured the city for weeks with friend and realtor Dan Brown. After putting in a bid on a home and having it rejected, the Theiles began to get discouraged. That’s when Brown showed them a listing in Tarkington Tower at the corner of 40th and North Meridian streets, Indianapolis’ first high-rise condominium, built in 1966. They were intrigued by the photos, but when they saw it in person, they realized the property was at “a new level” compared to the homes they’d been looking at, Kevin says. The bright

Peak Performance AS DIRECTOR OF FOOD AND BEVERAGE, CHEF ERICA OAKLEY CLIMBS TO NEW HEIGHTS AT NORTH MASS BOULDER’S TOP OUT CAFE. BY C H R I S T I A NA B E RT S C H

AFT E R three years of nursing school, Erica Oakley decided the FOODIE medical field wasn’t for her. A personality test suggested that a career in the food industry might be a good fit—and a good fit, it is. Oakley—who is going on her third year as director of food and beverage at downtown fitness and climbing center North Mass Boulder and its on-site restaurant, Top Out Cafe—quickly realized that she had always been passionate about food. “I learned to cook from my grandma. I had a step stool at the counter where I helped her pickle vegetables and make homemade noodles,” says Oakley. At the beginning of her career change, Oakley studied hospitality management at the Art Institute of Indianapolis and began working at the Local Eatery & Pub on Indy’s north side, where she learned time management, creative menu design, and leadership skills. Working with then-owner Craig Baker, a noted local restaurateur, she also learned how to push her limits

and the $7 Dirtbag Special (grilled cheese on Amelia’s bread served with a 16-ounce PBR). The remaining base of juices, smoothies, and acai bowls were inspired by a cafe in Seattle, says Oakley. She has high hopes for the cafe as it grows. With membership on the rise and new businesses moving into the area, both Top Out Cafe and Oakley’s future are climbing sky-high.

knew he was taking a chance by putting braised REVIEW rabbit casarecce on his menu at Good Omen, the Zionsville restaurant he opened with his mother in August. The dish was a slow burn, Gattone says. But “getting people out of their comfort zone” proved a worthy challenge. The rabbit, lean and flavorful like the tenderest bits of shredded chicken thigh, shares a shallow bowl with chunks of green olive and, yes, carrot. The casarecce, sturdy pasta in the shape of tiny loose scrolls, is made in-house to deliver the coveted springy chew of hand-rolled 44

noodles. Even though my own comfort zone has a very wide berth, I didn’t know what to expect from a rabbit-centric dish at a sweet, Northern Italian spot deep in an Indianapolis suburb. Certainly not this fresh and simple presentation that tastes like an earthy riff on chicken and noodles, comfortingly delicious to the last bite. Gattone, whose culinary path has taken him through New York, Nantucket, Chicago, and Italy, did a deep dive into the art of meat when he studied under famed Tuscan butcher Dario Cecchini. He has witnessed the slaughter and breakdown of every type of animal prepared at his restaurant. “Sometimes, it’s awful,” he says. “But it gives you a

greater appreciation for what it takes to bring that protein to the plate.” One reason why Italian cooking is so famously good, Gattone says, is because it puts an emphasis on the farmer and the rancher. “The chef’s job is to get your hands on the best ingredients available and then not fuck them up,” he says. That guiding principle of simplicity plays out in a gorgeous salmon filet served skin-up over white beans and a few spears of asparagus; in the crispy chicken Milanese that comes with a charred lemon that you can squeeze over your meal; and in a massive New York strip served sliced—its middle pieces the perfect warm red—and topped with brown butter béarnaise that amplifies the meat’s husky richness. That noble $62 steak arrives generously portioned for sharing and is (by Midwestern standards) the only thing on Good Omen’s “shareable” menu that a person would be inclined to share. I guess it would be technically feasible, sensible even, to divvy up the slices of grill-marked bread that come with either a thick smear of smoked trout pate, the cultured butter and honey pairing, or a house ricotta that tastes amazing but is almost too wet to spread (scoop instead). Diners can easily pass around the little bowl of fried olives stuffed with sausage that pop open in the mouth, bursting with umami. They might graze communally on beef tartare bound with quail egg or the charcuterie board of Smoking Goose meats, artisanal dairy, and marmalade.“We suggest ordering familystyle and sharing several things,” our impeccably informed server advised us. We heeded her advice, then awkwardly took turns slicing off bites of chicken Milanese, wondering if we were doing it

right. We also shared decadent duck Bolognese tossed with creste di gallo pasta (shaped like frilled macaroni crescents) that I would have preferred to keep all to myself. The duck’s lusciously heavy undertones, combined with the dense texture of the pasta, melt in the mouth. It is one of Gattone’s favorites, a meal inspired by the traditional duck Bolognese served in Venice. “It’s what the locals eat while the tourists are eating seafood,” says the Hoosier chef, a graduate of the New England Culinary Institute who went on to work at Chicago’s Michelinstarred Spiaggi before traveling to Italy to further his culinary knowledge. Gattone returned to Indiana after his father became ill and the pandemic made him reconsider his career trajectory. He then opened this cozy 60-seat restaurant with a small menu of antipasto, three pastas, three meats, and a few add-ons, such as a soul-soothing jota soup with sauerkraut and white beans. The wine list is as brief as the menu, but it covers the essentials—a reflection of Gattone’s years in beverage and hospitality management. The chef’s mother and Good Omen’s co-owner, Diane Gattone, works the host stand, warmly escorting guests to their

tables, chatting excitedly about the menu. She’s a former Methodist pastor with a background in counseling, and this is her first restaurant job. “But she’s always been a champion schmoozer,” Gattone says. That makes her uniquely qualified to hype her son’s culinary skills, though it’s not a tough sell. NOVEMBER 2023 | IM

THE FUTURE OF MEDICINE

Q: Eskenazi research has found a 16-year difference in life expectancy between residents of our northern suburbs versus residents downtown. Why, and what’s the solution? A: Many things contribute to that. Social caste, economic status, access to care, the quality of care, and access to healthy food and safe places to exercise, just to name a few. Violence also plays a role. When people don’t feel safe in their neighborhoods, the last thing on their minds is exercising and eating healthy. This is something that health systems all across the country are seeing, not just in Indianapolis. And the solution comes from two sources: federal and state government on the macro level and individual health systems on the micro level. Many times, finding new ways for patients to simply get to a doctor improves outcomes, so our clinics are located on IndyGo routes. Understanding the community is also key. Health systems need to hire from within their community. This brings in people who understand the needs of those around them. Patients want to see physicians or advanced practice clinicians who represent them, whether that be through their ethnicity, nationality, or sex. The east side of the city is an area in huge need of health care and environmental safety. We are building our new location in that area to support those communities. This new location will not only provide medical support but also be a drivethru food pantry. NOVEMBER 2023 | IM

Q: The smoke from the Canadian wildfires seems to indicate the start of an increase in climate change–related health concerns. How will we combat them? A: We are already seeing other effects from global warming and climate change. The warmer season has been lasting longer, about 20 days or so, especially in the northern latitudes. And that warmer weather obviously leads to new and different kinds of vegetation, which increases the pollen count. And worse, we’re seeing a higher amount of immunogenic pollen. The proteins in immunogenic pollen cause more allergies. So not only is there more pollen in the air, but the quality of all that pollen is getting worse. And, as you point out, there are the less-direct consequences of climate change, too. Wildfires have particulate matter that can worsen respiratory symptoms. The incidence of floods is also increasing, which causes more mold to spread. To treat the health conditions that arise from such new realities, we will have to start administering medication or providing treatment earlier in the allergy season, possibly even year-round for certain patients. The number of treatments may also increase for a patient. Instead of an allergy pill, they may also have to take an antihistamine or steroid spray. The good news is that many of those medications are being made generic, so people can get them when they need them without a prescription. NOVEMBER 2023 | IM

Q. November is lung cancer awareness month. What new developments are out there to bring people hope? A: If you look at the evolution of how we are approaching lung cancer, the paradigm has shifted in the last five to 10 years and is still shifting. For many years, lung cancer has been the leading cause of death [among all cancer patients]. The problem has been that up to a few years ago, there was no way to detect lung cancer early in the high-risk populations. But early detection is so important, because by the time the cancer manifests to the point that it’s recognized, it’s usually too late because it’s spread throughout the lungs. But now we have screening options for lung cancer in those high-risk populations. CT scans can now be done on an annual basis, picking up cancer in the early stage when it’s still so small that it’s not exhibiting symptoms. Studies have shown that if you can catch lung cancer in that early stage, it can be curable. It’s now becoming routine to screen those patients. It’s still not perfect. There's still a lot of room for improvement, but at least there is a standard of screening now. And even better, that screening is approved by all the major medical societies. Even Medicare covers it. 50

Q. What should LGBTQIA+ healthcare look like in 2024? A: The main thing that we will see moving forward is more and more health systems and offices having what are called LGBTQIA+-friendly practices. This is something our system has already had a lot of discussions about. It’s estimated that 7.2 percent of Americans identifies in this population, but 19 percent of Gen Z do. So this is a need that not only won’t go away but will only continue to grow. Yet, many physicians have not had any education on how to serve this unique community. We’ve taken extra steps, and hopefully in 2024 we’ll see more practices take extra steps to ensure that these patients know they are in a place where they can get inclusive healthcare. Our doctors’ offices will utilize a confidential online form, which all patients will fill out ahead of time. We ask their assigned sex at birth, their gender identity, preferred name and pronouns, and their sexual orientation. That questionnaire is then in their chart. We are aware of all of that information before they even arrive. So when the patient is called into an exam room at the doctor’s office, they can immediately feel safe and comfortable. More and more doctors and offices will be trained so both physicians and their staffs understand how to serve this population and address their unique healthcare concerns. 52

Q. What advancements are coming in treating spinal cord injuries? A: As the population of our country ages, the rate of spinal injuries is going to increase. We are seeing more patients with incomplete spinal cord injuries, meaning that they have some preserved function below the spot of the injury. However, if a patient comes in with a very bad fracture-dislocation in the spine, that’s a problem because the recovery is not fantastic. Yet even here, there is hope. If you look at the exciting research being done with brain–machine interfaces, patients will be able to interact with the world much more easily. They’re still in trials but are being developed to help patients live a slightly more normal life. Additionally, you have current trials that are performing epidural spinal cord stimulations with people who are paralyzed yet starting to be able to move their limbs again. While all of this is still firmly in the trial-and-research phase, the future of recovery for patients with spinal cord injuries is looking bright. And I have to add that the best things you can do to prevent spinal cord injuries in the first place are to wear a seatbelt in your car and stay physically fit. 54

Q: Indiana University Health has had recent successes in the field of neurology that would have been virtually impossible not long ago. Tell us about them.

TOP DOCTORS LIST CONTINUED ON PAGE 88

A: Yes, we’ve done several focused ultrasound procedures that corrected tremors in patients who had been unable to write, hold a drink, or use a laptop. And a particularly dramatic case that happened for us was one of a young girl who came in with a blow dart in her nasal cavity that was embedded in her skull. It had nearly pierced her brain. We had to assemble a team. It was immediately an extraordinarily tricky situation because the dart was right next to her vertebral artery. It wasn’t a procedure that anybody who didn’t have deep familiarity with skull base anatomy, as well as specific equipment at their disposal, could have possibly done. My team of nurses and surgical technicians worked through the night, and we were able to provide this child with an extremely good outcome. Obviously, a blow dart in the skull is not a common occurrence. But because we’ve invested so much into our specialty centers, we have the right kind of infrastructure, both in personnel and equipment, to tackle complex cases, whether commonplace or unusual.

I D CE N T URY modern design is everywhere in Bloomington. In fact, split-level and ranch-style homes are as common in the suburbs near Indiana University as the unbothered neighborhood deer you see crisscrossing property lines and gazing in wonder at passersby on city sidewalks. Today, a newly renovated midcentury modern home stands out among the rest. Originally built in 1958, the house is dressed to the nines in limestone (the same material famously used to build the Empire State Building and the Pentagon) and inhabits one of the city’s older subdivisions. Susannah Gray bought the home in summer 2020. A Bloomington native, she and her husband lived out of state at the time. When they decided to purchase property in Indiana, Gray sought a landing pad to help her readjust to her hometown. The house is a stone’s throw from her dad’s place and about two miles from the IU campus. Most of the lots in the area are still an acre or more, a nice

blend of townhome meets countryside— just the sort of place someone might want after living in a larger metropolis. “I spent the first half of my life wanting to get out of Bloomington,” Gray recalls. “I wanted to live in a big city, but now that I’m a bit older, there’s something very pleasant about Bloomington, with everything it has [and] at the pace it offers.” Gray’s story isn’t unusual. Locals call Bloomington a “boomerang town”—people who move away tend to come back eventually. Coincidentally, Gray’s connection to the property has deep roots. “When

we pulled up to the curb, my sister Julie says, ‘That’s the Martins’ place.’” It turns out, the house is the former home of their mom’s best friend. As a kid, Gray played there. The nostalgia factor and its small footprint prompted Gray and her husband to buy the home, which was virtually untouched. It had been occupied by only one other owner aside from the Martins. The Martins had made an addition to the original floor plan to connect the garage to the main house, then the subsequent owner put on a second addition and flipped the house without altering the interiors. Though still true to its original design, the house felt like a labyrinth brimming with outdated features. Exhibits A and B: the purple shag carpet in the basement and the wall paneling located almost everywhere else. For help reimagining the abode, Gray’s sister suggested reaching out to an expert designer: the owner and creative director of Susan Yeley Homes in Bloomington. Yeley and her team are known for their clean, crisp modern NOVEMBER 2023 | IM

designs. So, who better to transform Gray’s new mid-mod digs? Like her client, Yeley also made her way back to Bloomington after living elsewhere. And surprisingly, the two had sort of crossed paths. “It’s such a Bloomington story because there are so many dots that connected me to Susannah,” Yeley explains. When Yeley was an undergrad, she took a theater course being audited by IU trustee P.A. Mack, and the two became friends afterward. After undergrad, a winding path led Yeley to a highprofile career in interior design, which eventually prompted Mack to establish a scholarship in her name at the Eskenazi School of Art, Architecture, and Design. Years later, over coffee and a piece of pie, Gray’s sister Julie interviewed Yeley and Mack for a university publication, and another few years after that, Julie connected her sister to Yeley. “It all felt so kismet,” says Gray. Yeley needed a little convincing to take on Gray as a client. “She was really 60

busy working on other projects, and I told her, ‘This is a great house. You’re really going to have fun with it,’” says Gray. When the two women finally collaborated, they viewed house renovations similarly: They wanted to give nods to the home’s history but didn’t feel the need to preserve or recreate it in the strictest terms. This wasn’t the Frost House in Michigan City or the Miller House in Columbus—though Yeley and her staff did tour the latter for design inspiration. The team used midcentury design as a guiding principle but turned to different aesthetic styles and eras for inspiration. This explains the colorful monkey tile in the laundry room. The tile was handmade by Good Press Ceramics in Seattle and was inspired by the Milton Bradley Barrel of Monkeys game. “I like monkeys. They’re a little bit cheeky, and it’s nice to have a space that isn’t serious,” says Gray. “It’s not a museum—it’s a house and should have a sense of humor.”

OF THE MONTH The creative team included general contractor Rusty Peterson, “another classic Bloomingtonian,” says Gray. “He went here for school and loved it so much he stayed.” Peterson clad much of the home’s interior in white oak, a material that recalls the original wood paneling but invokes a muted warmth. It has a fresher vibe than the old paneling and can be readily found in the ever-popular modern farmhouse and trending cottage-style dwellings. The oak they chose was rift sawn (cut so that is has a very straight grain pattern) and sourced in Bloomington. “The paneling extends well beyond the living room and is picked up in custom cabinetry in unpaneled rooms,” says Yeley. “All of it—paneling and cabinetry, and the floating basement stairs, too—was made by one local man.” Even the home’s lighting is a mix of older and newer styles. Pieces by midcentury European lighting greats like

IT’S NICE TO HAVE A SPACE THAT ISN’T SERIOUS. IT’S NOT A MUSEUM—IT’S A HOUSE AND SHOULD HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR. Lelli, Ingrand, Adnet, Henningsen, and Bitossi rub elbows with recent styles by Fornasetti, Teixidó, and Wearstler. For Yeley, great design is always a mashup. “I come from a background in literature and words more than design,” she explains. “I do design to tell a story—and a story has lots of different players.” For example, a white club chair in the corner of the primary bedroom is an updated Edward Wormley Cube chair. “It was designed for and built by Dunbar, a company based right here in Indiana, in the mid-20th century and reupholstered in a Holland & Sherry wool by our local one-couple upholstery team,” Yeley says. “I struggle to use words to apply to the designs we come up with. I don’t like to pigeonhole.” But perhaps more importantly than bridging the gap between midcentury and modern design, the Bloomington house also encompasses the overlap between midcentury and contemporary

approaches to living. In the atomic era, when midcentury modern designs were being created, it was all about working with a smaller footprint and bringing the outdoors inside. The Covid-19 pandemic and recent increases in inflation and the cost of living have forced contemporary homeowners to revisit the same aesthetic and space considerations. The design and building team enlarged two of the home’s bathrooms, converted one of the bedrooms into a study, reworked the kitchen to feel more open, and copied the floor-to-ceiling windows at the front of the house in the primary bedroom, recreating the same look at the rear of the home. The emphasis was on maximizing space and reconnecting with nature. A landscaper revitalized the outdoor spaces

and built a patio alongside the primary bedroom to further create a seamless transition between indoors and outside. The newly reimagined midcenturymodern abode is also a lesson in sustainability. Yeley mentions climate change as an increasingly critical concern that may impact design choices. “I think we’re going to have to start reconsidering footprint again. And maybe not be quite so lavish about our use of space,” she says. At 2,500 square feet, the house isn’t a sprawling one, though it still has three bedrooms and three baths, all carefully revamped for a modern family. “It’s not large, but it feels like a little jewel box now,” Yeley says. “It feels so soft, calm, and welcoming, and, in a very Midwestern way, very unassuming—even though a lot went into its creation.

After getting fired from my job, I tried more than a dozen others as a volunteer—and found out that Indy is the best place to be when you need a little lift.

While everyone was quiet-quitting last year, I got old-fashioned fired. The blindsided kind of fired. “Letting you go,” my boss at the marketing company insisted on saying. I’d only had the job for nine months. I came to it after 25 years in magazine journalism, which had left me broke and burnt out. I’d needed a change. At the very least, I needed a reset at a job that checked the boxes on my midlife wish list: a raise, a flexible schedule, to work from home. If nothing else, an empty inbox. This new opportunity offered all of that. And then, I lost it. I’m not blameless. I missed deadlines. They mentioned it in my three-month review, and I missed some more. But never by enough to warrant another conversation. Every week, my manager would check my schedule in a workflow management system and cheerfully adjust any deadline as needed. I didn’t know I was committing the company’s cardinal sin. I knew I was struggling, and I was embarrassed by it. Procrastinating on writing is one of my oldest and strongest demons. Still, if every writer got fired for missing deadlines, there would be no writers. And they didn’t fire me over deadlines, officially. They fired me because a client didn’t like my work and asked for the previous writer back. Without that contract, my boss said she couldn’t afford my job. “Clients. What can you do?” she shrugged. Some people say the hardest part about being fired is the way it makes you question your skills and feel stupid. Not so for me. I didn’t need the company’s validation. The hardest part for me was the energy I spent over the next 24 hours dwelling on it. Making poetic, furious speeches in my head, burning bridges and dancing on the ashes … figuring out how long I could afford to be unemployed—a couple of months. That makes me luckier than many. Between my husband’s income and my freelance work, we wouldn’t have to panic right away. It wouldn’t be easy finding a job at my age, but I believed we would be OK. Somehow. One sign? I had already scheduled

drinks that day with the best person I could have turned to—my friend Cathy. Both journalists turned marketing copywriters, we had been planning to meet up for a year, rescheduling over and over. Two rosés into happy hour at Just Pop In that night, and I was over it. Happy, even. I hadn’t loved the job—I had liked the money, the lifestyle, and a few people. Wise Cathy said that I was still burnt out and couldn’t get excited about something until I fully recuperated. Maybe a couple months of not working at all was Part Two of my reset year. But I didn’t have to wait a couple months to recuperate. The whole thing had given me the best story idea I’d had in ages. “I’ll volunteer at a different place every day for a month!” I declared. Cathy and I clinked glasses as my brilliant plan started coming together. “Now I have the time to tutor adult literacy students and arrange flowers for sick people,” I added. I couldn’t wait to get started— a foreign feeling. That night, before I even went home, I wrote all of what you just read on my phone. Starting Fresh In addition to being a world-class procrastinator, I am a dabbler. The idea of trying 20 new things, some of which had been on my to-do list for years, excited me. This was also a way of giving back. In the wake of being fired, friends had shown me more generosity than I needed, and I had to pay it forward somehow. Getting a story out of it would be a bonus. I should have been terrified, though. I’d never been without a job. There was always the stability of an employer. A paycheck. A tomorrow, a next year, a future. I’d always managed to find fun jobs, and I had career vanity. I felt it was the coolest thing about me. Not that I was above grunt work. Technically, my first job was when I was 4 or 5 years

old, working on my family’s pickle farm. It sounds like what parents might call “chores” rather than employment, but I had a title—“nubber”—and earned some money. My next job was when I was 9 years old, helping in the school cafeteria during breakfast because my dad was an administrator and I always arrived early. It wasn’t glamorous—I took my classmates’ trays and dumped their uneaten oatmeal into a pail. But I got to stand in a window on a stool and wear an apron, and it felt important. Plus, I earned 50 cents a day and never wanted for Trixie Belden paperbacks and Garbage Pail Kids stickers. I took some gap years in my tweens, then at 16, I worked at the library in my small hometown, an Andrew Carnegie beauty, the prettiest building for miles. In college, more libraries, a campus bakery, a pizza magazine (Pizza Expo in Las Vegas!), dorm resident assistant, a big law firm, designing For Dummies books. The worst job I had was at a phone book company. I scanned previous listings for new editions, but the text recognition was so poor back then that it couldn’t pick up the tiny print, and I ended up entering most of it by hand. But the guy I sat next to was the frontman for a metal cover band, and we would sing ’80s jams all day. For a summer job, I couldn’t complain. I didn’t get the gig driving the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile after college. But soon enough, I landed in magazines. I got to cover the U.S. Open for Tennis magazine and travel the world for ATA’s inflight publication. I was in the Bahamas for the opening of Jimmy Buffett’s musical and danced the conga with him through the Atlantis hotel to the after party, where I boogied with a few cast members from The Sopranos. I learned tai chi in Hong Kong and went to a Carnival rehearsal in Rio de Janeiro. It was a good work life. But at NOVEMBER 2023 | IM

48, my luck ran out. I would see what a month of volunteering would do for me. The Plan First, I wanted to hold babies in a NICU. It’s called being a cuddler. Most hospitals let volunteers cradle sleeping newborns. Eskenazi Health’s website says that “being held is a natural, no-cost intervention that can help with pain management, better sleep, faster growth, and shorter hospital stays.” And that’s just for the babies. For me, it seems like the most peaceful feeling in the world. But everyone wants to be a cuddler, as it turns out. Retired grandmas have that job on lock. The waitlist is long, and the vetting process takes a while. Some hospitals also cut their programs during Covid and haven’t resumed. So, no babies. However, the Central Christian Church food pantry downtown on Fort Wayne Avenue was able to slot me in immediately. I wanted to try a food bank in honor of my late father, who volunteered at one throughout his retirement. What people don’t know about food banks is that volunteers are more important than donations. Don’t go shopping or spend time cleaning out your cupboards. Show up instead. “Volunteers are our lowest resource,” says Katie Angel, the pantry coordinator at Central Christian. Gleaners Food Bank, which helps stock some food pantries around town, knows how to stretch dollars further than you can at the grocery. Unless you have come across a mother lode of granola bars, your time is more valuable to a food pantry than your canned vegetables. I was impressed with how wellorganized Central Christian’s pantry was and how many people it served on a Saturday morning. One room was set up like a grocery store, complete with packaged items on shelves and fresh produce. About 70 patrons used grocery carts to shop the room one at a time, giving the experience a touch of normalcy

and dignity. Volunteers helped them find items, kept things moving along, and chatted with regulars. People left with three to four bags of food and toiletries, then we swept the floors and tidied up. It should come as no surprise that some patrons looked like me, well-dressed and not obviously unhoused. You just never know when you’ll fall on hard times. I wondered if I’d be there myself one day soon, humbled and hunting for free cereal and toilet paper. It didn’t seem like a leap. The next stop was Joy’s House, a nonprofit adult daycare with two locations. Aging issues are a passion of mine, so I spent the day sitting at a long table with six patients in various stages of dementia or decline, playing games, singing, clapping, chatting, and doing seated exercises. Joy’s House gives shut-ins some socialization and their caregivers a break. I’m not sure I added anything to the day. An energetic University of Indianapolis student who works there did most of the talking. But if you like to keep people company, Joy’s House is a worthy cause. Onward to Junior Achievement’s BizTown, a remarkable program for fourth, fifth, and sixth graders. It’s a mock community that the kids run for a day after spending classroom time preparing. The town looks like a movie set inside a warehouse-style building at 75th Street and Keystone Avenue. There’s a hospital, radio station, town hall, utility companies, businesses, and even an airport. Every kid has a job and arrives ready to work. I supervised the electric company, making sure the five students followed provided instructions, like collecting

payments, holding meetings, executing marketing plans, and conducting energy audits around BizTown. Several hundred kids scooted around like a colony of bees, juggling their jobs and personal requirements, like medical checkups and bank errands. The mayor gave a speech. Kids got paid and got to shop for tchotchkes. It felt like chaos, but they actually got stuff done, a credit to how well-organized the program is. And most kids were excited to have a job. It took me back to childhood, when I dreamed of what I wanted to be when I grew up—before I knew anything about rejection, competition, office politics, pay freezes, and burnout. I’m really not good with kids, though. I don’t have kids, and I’m not very fun. So, when I moved on to Damar Services, a social service organization that runs a residential campus for troubled and autistic kids, the holiday shopping day was a good fit. Volunteer “elves” report to a Meijer store, receive a shopping list, and hit the aisles, staying under budget. Spending someone else’s money is the perfect thing to do when you’re unemployed, especially when it’s going to provide Christmas for kids experiencing hardship. I hung siding for Habitat for Humanity one afternoon, amazed at how quickly they put total DIY rookies to work with power tools. At Little Angel Gowns, started by an Eskenazi nurse, I sorted fabric to be used to sew satin and lace burial garments for babies and donated to their grieving parents. At Coburn Place, a domestic violence shelter in a former IPS school with 35 apartments, I wanted to decorate a place for a new resident, something fun to do with a group.

Coburn Place allows you to take ownership of a task

VOLUNTEER RESOURCES and do it on your own time. Volunteers don’t mind menial work, but they don’t like to waste their time where they aren’t needed. It’s easy to assume that some events that rely on volunteers don’t require more, but you might be surprised. The beloved Italian Street Festival at Holy Rosary Catholic Church has been going strong for 40 years and every year appears to have plenty of booth-minders and food runners. But it took 10 of us to keep our heads above water on breadstick duty alone. (By then, my monthlong plan had stretched to the next year, and I was still unemployed.) I posted up on the sauce line, spooning cheese and marinara nonstop into ramekins. Surprisingly, cheese was two times more popular than red sauce as a dipping option, and it was temperamental and not easy to work with quickly. Another volunteer said that her husband would know how to speed things up—he’s a fluid flow engineer. There really is a job for everything. It seems like the big organizations have volunteering down to a science, and I marvel at coordinators who keep things going while dealing with unpaid workers and moving targets. But small organizations need help just as much as the high-profile groups and well-oiled machines of the world, and they often don’t have the time to organize it.

Everyday barriers such as reliable transportation, language and employment prevent many young families from accessing care throughout Central Indiana. Smiles like this one remind us that the work to remove these barriers is worth the investment. Eskenazi Health was recently named Indiana’s #1 hospital for community beneﬁt by the Lown Institute. Thanks in part to community partners and philanthropy, we are helping families get beyond barriers.

I wasn’t sure, but I felt as if I was teetering on more than just the edge of a downtown high rise. I might have also reached the limits of my volunteering potential—a literal cliffhanger … The Booster Club While I’m not above chasing perks through volunteering (I handled transportation for a tennis exhibition here years ago just so I could drive John McEnroe and other legends to the airport and catch some gossip), most people have better intentions. Take Rick, the one regular volunteer at Nine Lives Cat Cafe. After a career at Lockheed Martin in California, he retired early, returned home to Indianapolis, and now spends close to 40 hours a week giving back. On Mondays, he’s an on-call handyman for Gennesaret Free Clinics’ Health Recovery Homes. On Tuesdays, he does chores at Nine Lives, then helps cook 4,000 meals at Second Helpings. On Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, he lends his construction skills to Habitat for Humanity and Service at Work (SAWs), which builds free wooden wheelchair ramps for those who are low-income and permanently disabled. “I was a mechanical engineer, and that was stressful,” he says. “What I do now is not stressful at all, which is probably why I enjoy it. A long time ago, before I retired, I thought about the meaning of life. It’s to serve others.” Indianapolis is uniquely defined by this spirit. Volunteering is the motor of our industrial sports complex, built up a few decades back as an economic strategy to put the city on the map and show what this community can accomplish. It began with the Pan Am Games, which we hosted in 1987, and peaked with the Super Bowl in 2012. Our volunteer spirit is always humming along outside of the spotlight, too. “Every major event that has come through Indy in the last 10 years is run on the backs of volunteers,” says Al Carroll, president of IndyHub, a 104

clearinghouse for volunteer opportunities. “We put on big events better than anyone in the country.” In 2021, Indy saved the NCAA men’s basketball tournament by hosting the whole thing—all 68 teams in one spot—under pandemic restrictions. The Indiana Sports Corp compared the complexity of arranging the event to the Olympics. It wouldn’t have happened without thousands of volunteers who pitched in on tasks both major and menial, such as doing laundry in the backs of box trucks. Our love of giving our time means Hoosiers have started 13,000 registered nonprofits in Indianapolis, according to IndyHub. That may actually be too many. “Try really hard to find an organization where you want to help before you start one,” Carroll says. “Usually there is an entity that exists, and maybe their leadership has fallen off. I ran into an organization that had $10,000 for breast cancer research in its account but was without leadership for five years. You could have picked it up and run with it.” Another example of a ready-made opportunity is the free medical clinic at St. Mary’s Catholic Church downtown. It largely serves Latino and unhoused populations, providing no-cost exams and medications to anyone who needs them. And it is in danger of closing after 16 years. Even though the clinic is busy, it’s down to just two volunteer physicians—not enough to open every Saturday. After the current director made an announcement at St. Mary’s mass recently, 10 people (including a few doctors) stayed afterward to express their interest. Fingers crossed. That’s the thing about Indy—someone usually steps up, and not just when they are in a period of crisis, like me. Many benefits of volunteering are obvious, but life coach Teresa Sabatine enlightened me about a benefit I hadn’t considered. “Sometimes, when you get fired, it’s all you can think about,” she says. “You think you should spend all day applying for jobs, but it creates a vacuum [filled by] disappointment and rejection. I’m all for moving your body in a new way, letting new sights and smells ignite a new energy in you.” She makes a good point—we all know the healing power of taking on a fresh challenge. But here’s the thing: I chickened out of that rappelling assignment. That was not the new way I wanted to

VOLUNTEERING IS THE MOTOR OF OUR INDUSTRIAL SPORTS COMPLEX, BUILT UP A FEW DECADES BACK AS AN ECONOMIC STRATEGY TO PUT THE CITY ON THE MAP AND SHOW WHAT THIS COMMUNITY CAN ACCOMPLISH. move my body. Rappelling might have felt like a big, scary feat that I needed to accomplish, just like figuring out what to do with my life after losing my job. But I realized that I didn’t need to rappel off a building to prove myself. It wasn’t that I couldn’t do it; I didn’t want to. I wanted the story. And I got it. The next day, 60-some people made it look easy while I stayed on the ground holding a rope, guiding each person to a seated position on the sidewalk before unhooking their rig. They raised more than $100,000 for United Way, which was the whole point. I didn’t need to conquer a fear to help make that happen. I have no regrets. No one cared that I slunk back down in the elevator from the Keystone Building rooftop, and it dawned on me that no one really cares what my job is, either. I’ve been stuck on the vanity of it, but spending time at big-hearted places like Little Angel Gowns and Coburn Place opened my eyes—I need to do something I deeply care about. The cat cafe owner performed in orchestras for 20-something years, and after a career setback, she is cleaning litter boxes—for a great cause, of course. She’s not prideful about it. The humility was perhaps the most powerful example I encountered through volunteering. Or does volunteer Rick have it right? Stability from 9 to 5 and altruism on the side? The answer is personal. I lean toward the intersection of passion and profession, and after so many different experiences in the last year, I knew where I belonged—right here, on the page, finding stories that make me pull out my phone and write 500 words with my thumbs.

lamb shank is the highlight of the chef’s specialties and easily feeds two. A full bar and an artful array of desserts help round out a special occasion meal. 501 Virginia Ave., 317-602-7117, aromaindy.com V $$

Ash & Elm Cider Co. ++

Agave & Rye +

CIDERY Ash & Elm’s array of complex and quaffable ciders gets broader all the time, with funky cocktails demonstrating a flavor profile well beyond sweet apples in the vibrant tasting room at the former Ford Assembly Plant on Washington Street. The food pairs beautifully with the drinks, from the now legendary elote fritters made with Indiana corn and cilantro crema to the crispy fried Brussels sprouts flavored with, of course, cider vinaigrette. A thick-cut Cuban and an Italian hoagie with all the meats are great choices among sandwiches, though the pimento cheeseburger with pickled green tomato is hard to beat. But more uptown offerings, such as ricotta gnocchi with seasonal garnishes or a lunchtime bulgogi noodle bowl, showcase how cider brings out the flavors in world cuisines as deliciously as fine wines. Save room for cider doughnut holes lavished with caramel sauce. 1301 E. Washington St., 317-6003164, ashandelmcider.com V $$

TACOS High-concept tortilla concoctions with

names like the Filthy Fajita, Swipe Right, and the Spicy Kitty add to the party atmosphere at this vibrant chain awash in neon, chandeliers, performance wallpaper, and pops of graffiti. A la carte tacos get backup from starters in the form of either Big Munchies (such as Birria Irish Nachos and Mac N Cheese Beignets) or Little Munchies (including elotes plated half off the cob). Tequila and bourbon dominate the house cocktails mixed behind a bar festooned with colors and lights, and the desserts are portioned for sharing. 336 Delaware St., 463-257-8226, agaveandrye.com V $$$

Amberson Coffee+ COFFEEHOUSE Modestly housed in a former

Fletcher Place gas station, this tiny coffee spot with a walk-up window feels like a snug neighborhood hangout. But its curated beans and precise pourover program make it a worthy destination for serious coffee-lovers. Sip a perfect cup—perhaps a Madcap Coffee Summer Solstice with notes of lime, green apple, and berries, or a Nømad Coffee Guatemala Los Pablos from Barcelona that tastes of apricot, brown sugar, and florals. The date latte and Cool Kid mocha headline the espresso drinks. For sustenance, they whip up superb egg salad sandwiches, avocado toasts, and griddled Mexican-style biscuits with homemade jam. 401 S. College Ave., 463-230-2255, ambersoncoffee .com $

CONTEMPORARY Bluebeard opened in 2012, and crowds still roll in for chef Abbi Merriss’ take on seasonal comfort food. Start with the bread baked next door at Amelia’s—it’s especially delicious slathered with anchovy butter—and build your meal from the everchanging menu of small and large dishes. Fried morels may show up on a spring picnic plate, while winter nights call for a comforting butcher shop Bolognese. 653 Virginia Ave., 317-686-1580, bluebeardindy.com V $$

focused menu of Thai dishes like massaman curry with braised beef and Bodhi’s own version of non-Americanized pad thai. Cocktails get a lot of attention on a drinks list designed by Ball & Biscuit’s Heather Storms. 922 Massachusetts Ave., 317-941-6595, bodhi-indy.com V $$

Cafe Patachou + CAFE The original Meridian-Kessler “student union for adults” continues to draw in the morning crowds and has inspired citywide offshoots, such as this sleek downtown location, a huge hit with the business and weekend hordes alike. The cinnamon toast remains as thick as a brick; the produce is still locally sourced; the massive omelets continue to have cheeky names; and the broken-yolk sandwiches are a perennial lunch favorite. 225 W. Washington St., 317V $$ 632-0765, cafepatachou.com

A Cup of Chai + TEAHOUSE Punjab native Pravy Nijjar’s NEW

cozy, funky teahouse, which opened in July of 2023 on a secluded section of Shelby Street in Fountain Square, offers a true taste of Indian-style chai with several different spice profiles. For the genuine article, go for the masala chai, a dairy-forward drink that features ginger, cardamom, fennel, and cloves, equally good hot or iced. Pair that with one of Nijjar’s street-food inspired snacks, such as golden, aromatic samosas or tasty kati rolls (tender paratha stuffed with spiced chicken, paneer, or potatoes). Coffee drinkers can get an espresso or cappuccino, and those avoiding caffeine can go for a spice-infused golden latte, mango lassi, or minty pineapple lemonade. The colorful storefront spot with plenty of original art is as comfy in the morning as in the evening, when Indians tend to prefer their chai. 1028 Shelby St., 317-998-4463, acupofchai.us $

Don Juan Peruvian Sandwiches + PERUVIAN Crisp-crusted fresh bread made by a local baker and finished on-site surrounds tempting meats at this darling sandwich shop tucked behind a secluded strip mall at Raymond Street and Sherman Drive. Favorites include the lomo saltado with tender strips of beef tenderloin, and the lechon, a South American take on a Hoosier tenderloin featuring breaded pork roast topped with an onion “salsa criolla.” A fried-fish sandwich and creamy chicken salad get a boost of flavor from the tasty mild green sauce served at the table. 3720 E.

The Garden Table + CAFE Expanding on the spa-style menu at its original Broad Ripple location, this pretty, sun-drenched venue adds a full dinner and drinks menu to the established house-pressed juices, health-conscious salads, and carefully embellished toasts. The place remains a cafe at heart, though, especially with the elaborate espresso station cranking out caffeinated stunners like an iced latte with strawberry puree and the peppery, basilinfused Pablo Honey. 342 Massachusetts Ave., V $$ 317-638-0321, thegardentable.com

Harry & Izzy’s ++ STEAKHOUSE Craig Huse’s casual alternative to

big brother St. Elmo holds its own as a dapper hangout worthy of destination-steakhouse status itself. The marbled bone-in ribeye sizzles in its juices, a smart pick among the highquality (and high-priced) Midwest-sourced prime cuts. The menu expands to thin-crust pizzas, sandwiches, salads, and seafood selections like pan-seared scallops. 153 S. Illinois St., 317-635-9594, harryandizzys.com $$$

Hovito Ultra Lounge + NEW AMERICAN Crowd-pleasing fare is served to a clubby beat at this handsome Wholesale District restaurant.

The Hulman ++ CONTEMPORARY With its sleek midcentury-

The Fountain Room

The Fountain Room ++ UPSCALE Restaurateur Blake Fogelsong filled this two-story showstopper with tufted leather chairs, glamorous clamshell booths, marble bar tops, and cascading chandeliers as a tribute to the Art Deco splendor of the restored Bottleworks Hotel next door. Meanwhile, the big-shouldered menu covers everything from fine-tuned steaks and seafood to wild-card winners like a 20-ounce Circle City Cut slab of prime rib, a noble old-school relish tray, utterly decadent French onion soup, and the best Coca-Cola barbecue ribs in town. 830 Massachusetts Ave., 463$$$ 238-3800, thefountainroom.com

Futuro ++ PIZZA Fans of this downtown-ish charmer don’t crave pizza. They crave Futuro. That’s one way to distinguish a standout joint from the places that merely provide a fix. When it opened mid-pandemic, Futuro immediately grabbed attention with Detroit-style pies. It’s a rare purveyor of thick, pan-cooked slabs characterized by a cheesy exoskeleton

and sauce spooned over the toppings so it doesn’t make the airy, porous dough soggy. Followers quickly learned to make a play for the corners for maximum crispy-crust payoff, though the single-sided squares are hardly a compromise thanks to the quality of Futuro’s house-made ingredients, like ground pepperoni and chicken-and-ranch fixings. In fact, you don’t even need all that dough. The thinner tavern-style and gluten-free pizzas are just as impressive and generously loaded. Pre-order a special featuring Smoking Goose or Half Liter BBQ collaborations, add on the big, knobby breadsticks, and dine in (the upstairs patio is the best spot) to take advantage of the deep beer list. The expansion of the plucky storefront, tucked away on an alley just east of downtown, testifies to Futuro’s popularity and embodies the pizzeria’s attitude—big, fun, and original. 19 Cruse St., 317-360-4725, futuroindy.com V $$

Gallery Pastry Bar ++ CONTEMPORARY The second location for

the popular Broad Ripple bakery and brunch spot specializes in Europeaninspired pastries, brunch, dinner, and

modern decor, the street-level restaurant inside downtown’s Hotel Indy pays tribute to the VIP Indianapolis Motor Speedway experience. The pared-down seasonal menu supplies some fittingly elegant dishes, like short rib spaccatelli with horseradish sugo and a fancy Alaskan king crab bisque presentation. High-concept desserts (such as a candied-almond churro curled around banana gelato) are a must, as are signature craft cocktails. 141 E. Washington St., V $$$ 317-735-2586, thehulmanindy.com

King Dough ++ PIZZA Chewy and with just the right flop in the middle, the pizzas here are bona fide craft, from the dough to the quality toppings. A standout is the Stinky Pete with wild mushrooms, gorgonzola, and plenty of garlic and herbs. Burgers, including one made from chorizo and topped with manchego cheese, play surprisingly close second fiddles to the pies. Cocktails concocted from boutique liqueurs and aromatics are reason enough to drop in, and they make for perfect sippers while you wait for your pie on the patio. 452 N.

Rolli +

LATIN This place feels like a hidden urban

SUSHI Creative, colorful rolls such as Ponzu Paradise (salmon, spicy fruit-forward mayo, and beets) or Mango Tango (tempura-fried shrimp, Thai chili sauce, avocado, and pickled mango) make this recent addition to The Garage food hall a fun destination for sushi lovers and those still a bit squeamish about raw fish. Traditionalists can opt for “simple” rolls with just seafood or veggies and rice wrapped in nori, and build-your-own options let customers’ imaginations run wild, with a solid selection of vegetarian options, including surprisingly tasty yuzu shiitakes. Much of the fun is watching the sushi batch machine shoot out a perfect square of rice that is rolled and cut in the blink of an eye then served in a sturdy, stylish box. For a hearty alternative to rolls, try one of four Umami Bommi options, tofu pockets with tasty toppings and sauces, the best of them finished with a torch. A nice selection of canned teas, kombuchas, sakes, and beer complete the experience. 906 Carrollton Ave., 317-210-3559, rollisushi.co $$

treasure, especially when the mezcal cocktails are flowing and the partially open kitchen is sending out plate after plate of contemporary Latin-inspired fare. Favorites have included a salad tucked inside a folded manchego crisp, meltingly tender steak fanned over a block of polenta, and a silky tres leches cake that is to die for. Snag a spot on the upperlevel deck for a real treat. 720 N. College Ave., 317-383-0330, livery-restaurant.com $$

Love Handle ++ SANDWICHES Daily lunch and brunch features

such as schnitzel and waffles and a pulledchicken Hot Brown are the main draw at Chris and Ally Benedyk’s cheeky sandwich shop. The chalkboard menu also offers side options in the form of braised greens and potato salad with roasted tomatoes. 877 Massachusetts Ave., 317-384-1102 $$

Maialina Italian Kitchen + Bar + ITALIAN Straw-wrapped chianti bottles,

to the sleek former Hedge Row location, and a nicely edited menu offers familiar classics with a few twists for the more daring. Starters are a must, with generous sweet and meaty garlic shrimp and mushroom-studded arancini starring on the short list. Pizzas are a solid bet, with a nice char from the in-house brick oven, and pastas are solid, with little additions such as a raw egg yolk and truffle oil in the not-toounorthodox carbonara. But crispy, al dente fried gnocchi with pulled chicken and pesto are a standout, as is the branzino with a golden sear and thick slices of eggplant and zucchini topped with a tangy tomato chutney. Well-mixed cocktails are no surprise given the restaurant’s pedigree. And tiramisu lovers will enjoy the creamy, restrained version here, spiked with spiced rum and topped with playful coffee caviar, though orange zest–dusted Bombolini with Nutella are hard to top. 350 Massachusetts $$$ Ave., 317-798-2492, vicinoindy.com

10th Street Diner ++ VEGAN Surprisingly familiar and hearty plantbased takes on diner classics occupy the entire menu at this rehab of a former pawn shop, a comfy backdrop for enjoying such tasty fakeouts as a gooey seitan Reuben, a “chicken” pot pie, and chili that rivals your favorite con carne version. 3301 E. 10th St., 463-221-1255 V $$

wooden cross-back chairs, and family photos give a throwback trattoria feel to this addition to the city’s Italian scene. Meatballs from a family recipe with a solid house marinara are always a good choice.

STEAKHOUSE Since 1902, this stately house of red meat has served as the unofficial ambassador of downtown Indianapolis—the walls carry decades’ worth of celebrity photos, the burnished bar hearkens to an earlier era, and the servers remain starched and bow-tied. The drill remains the same, as well: a generous martini, a shrimp cocktail with that notoriously hot sauce, the bean soup or tomato juice, the wedge, and one of the legendary steaks. 127 S. Illinois St., 317-635-0636, stelmos.com $$$$

CONTEMPORARY You never know what to expect from restaurateur Jonathan Brooks’ Windsor Park kitchen, aside from one of the most innovative and well-executed meals in town. The menu is difficult to track, mainly because Brooks builds his dishes around seasonal ingredients that are fresh and of-the-moment. Impeccable servers will guide you through the evening’s offerings, which start small at the top of the menu (fresh oysters, perhaps, or pork rinds with kimchi and chicken liver mousse) and bulk up toward the bottom (think wild boar Bolognese or a massive pork Wellington for two). Finish with the most exotic flavor of house-made ice cream. 1844 E. 10th St., V $$$$ 317-419-3471, beholderindy.com

DELI FOOD New York’s beloved bodega NEW

snack is the eponymous specialty at this no-frills Irvington convenience store and takeout deli. True to form, wellseasoned ground beef gets chopped on a sizzling flattop then pressed into a sub sandwich roll and topped with plenty of gooey cheese and mayo, which makes for a rich and flavorful mashup of the smashburger and a Philly cheesesteak. Equally good are crispy fries on the side, especially when seasoned with a shake of lemon pepper. But be sure to dip into the eye-popping menu of wings, chicken tenders, fried fish, and another Big Apple food cart favorite, chicken over rice—tender grilled chicken breast with a signature white sauce slathered over rice. Try it with lamb, as well, or go meatless with falafel. Fresh fruit smoothies are a must, such as the thick and not-too-sweet

operating mainly as a carryout spot on North Sherman and later in Little Flower, this location comes with a full bar, which means cocktails—such as the creamy, floral Respect Your Elders with bourbon, elderflower, and lemon—are a must. 4022 Shelby St., 317- 974-9032, opennkitchen.org $$

Open Kitchen + NEW AMERICAN Breakfast specialties such as light-as-air French toast, biscuits and gravy, and eggs Benedict lavished with crab and avocado are stars on the menu at the new location of Dexter and Toni Smith’s cheery eatery in the former Jailbird location near the University of Indianapolis. But lunch and dinner are equally respectable, especially a generous shrimp po’ boy or a crispy chicken sandwich with peppered bacon, onion rings, and barbecue sauce with your choice of spice level. More substantial entrees include a grilled pork chop with apple chutney or salmon with wild rice and sauteed broccoli, with elevated touches owing to Dexter Smith’s Chef’s Academy pedigree. After

Anthony’s Chophouse ++ STEAKHOUSE The interior of this swanky heavy hitter along Carmel’s Main Street has the polished gleam of a new Vegas hotel, with an upper-level lounge containing the salvaged mahogany bar from The Glass Chimney, another fine-dining legend. The food has equal flourish. Lobster bisque with a hunk of tempura-fried meat begins a meal that might include a cowgirl ribeye, a flight of filets, or a domestic wagyu burger.

Sip a Tongue Pop or a Sashay Away as you polish off the last of the Talbott Street Style fries dressed with bacon, cheese sauce, white barbecue sauce, and pickled jalapeño. 2147 N.

Blupoint Oyster House ++ SEAFOOD A blue dining room draped in rattan

pendant lights and subtly nautical decor sets the scene for Gino Pizzi’s ode to coastal Italian fare. The scaled-down menu focuses on heartfelt dishes like squid-ink tonnarelli in lemon-cream sauce, misto mare, and pan-roasted salmon. Fresh oysters are shucked to order. 5858 N. College Ave., 317-559-3259, blupointindy.com $$

Bocca + ITALIAN A sleek renovation of the former Shoefly Public House location, this modern-Italian eatery shares DNA with siblings Blupoint

Oyster House, Ambrosia, and Maialina—all branches of Indy restaurateur Gino Pizzi’s pasta family. Seared scallops share the dish with little cheese-filled sacchetti dumplings, and the lasagna is a light, mushroom-layered variety sauced with bechamel. The hulking lamb shank served with polenta is a showstopper, though. After dinner, descend the stairs behind the host stand to the basement speakeasy for some sofa lounging and mixology magic. 122 E. 22nd St., $$$ 317-426-2045, boccaindy.com

Broad Ripple Brewpub + PUB GRUB We love the mainstays at Indiana’s oldest operating microbrewery: a creamy beer cheese crock, Scotch eggs, and crunchy fish and chips. Vegan and vegetarian options abound. Depending on the season, you will want to grab a spot next to the fireplace or outside on the see-and-be-seen patio. 840 E. 65th St., 317-253-2739, broadripplebrewpub.com V $$

Chicken Scratch ++ SOUL FOOD Chef Tia Harrison’s second, mostly carryout spot on Keystone Avenue streamlines the menu to the bestsellers from her original Chef Tia and Co. location on West Washington Street. Meaty, tender wings with a variety of sauces and spice levels, as well as earthy, dressed-up fries, cover most of the menu here. But that’s more than enough for a delectable Cajun-inflected feast. Signature honey hot wings, either naked or breaded for extra crunch, come customized with the amount of sauce you want. And fries are available with a simple toss of truffle seasoning and parmesan or dressed up to entree status with chipotle steak or shrimp and Alfredo sauce. Sandwiches such as a “scratch” burger, as well as a few salads and pastas, complete the offerings. 5308 N. Keystone Ave., 317-426-3457, chickenscratchindy.com $$

Hollyhock Hill + FAMILY DINING Hollyhock Hill sticks with what’s worked since it opened in 1928: comfort in the form of chicken.

Htaw Metta + THAI/BURMESE After landing in Fort Wayne

from the Thai border of Myanmar in the 1990s, owner Htira Rammahtaw moved to Carmel, where he opened a small Asian grocery and later this cheery, brightly appointed restaurant in the shops at Northview Mall. The focus is on Thai and authentic Burmese dishes, as well as a small selection of sushi and poke bowls. Be sure to start with Rammahtaw’s deconstructed version of a tangy, funky green tea salad with cabbage, tomatoes, dry roasted beans, and fermented tea leaves. Move on to a steaming bowl of coconut noodle soup with chicken and thick noodles, enriched with eggs and herbs. Or, try Thai boat noodles with an array of garnishes or flavorful, comforting Burmese fried noodles, or a richly seasoned goat curry that will delight spicy food lovers. Light salads such as one with papaya and eggplant, ground meat larb with plenty of lemongrass, and Num Tok beef salad are nice options for a light lunch. 1738 E. 86th St., 317-669-0223, htaw-metta.com $$

Nando’s ++ MEXICAN / BRAZILIAN With their combined Mexican and Brazilian backgrounds, the couple that runs this cozy restaurant in the heart of Broad Ripple set out to provide a rare, authentic taste of each cuisine. Their effort pays off in traditional comfort dishes such as feijoada (a meaty bean stew served with steamed rice, orange slices, and a sprinkle of farofa), a layered escondidinho de frango reminiscent of shepherd’s pie, and fragrant carne asada served with Mexican onions and guacamole. Dishes are served with both Mexican and Brazilian hot sauces, each with their own brand of afterburn. Gorgeously jiggly flan is the star of the dessert course. 834 E. 64th St., 317-377-4779 $$

Petite Chou + BISTRO Tucked into one of Broad Ripple’s most iconic backstreet parcels, this French cousin of Cafe Patachou keeps its menu brief but fancy. Diners might enjoy onion soup gratinée and butter lettuce salad before the evening’s dinner rush, when côte de porc and lobster and frites are served with champagne in bottled or cocktail form. Even the family-style fried chicken dinner (offered on Wednesday nights only, with mashed potatoes, buttered peas, and a salad for the table) involves a pretty white bucket embellished with a pink Petite Chou logo. Whether you opt for the knife-and-fork burger or the duck confit, start with the steak tartare and end with the ice cream–stuffed profiteroles under chocolate syrup poured tableside. 823 E.

Amara ++ INDIAN Innovative restaurateur and Aroma

owner Vinita Singh converted the popular northside tavern Smee’s Place to her third Indian eatery in late 2022, offering an ambitious and artfully executed menu of dishes from around South Asia. Starters are where the menu truly shines, with crispy eggplant and kale fritters, deeply aromatic Chicken 65, and true-to-their name Juicy Drums of Heaven. Less-known dishes, such as chettinad—equally good with chicken, seafood, or lamb—are good bets, as are a host of Indochinese dishes that fall somewhere between the flavors of India and those from farther east. Breads are a must here, especially chewy, crisp garlic naan. Dosas are solid, whether you go for the traditional crepelike version or South Indian uttapam, a thicker, fluffier version served with chutneys and tangy sambar. A full menu of wines and cocktails pay homage to the bar’s former life, pairing nicely with the spicy, aromatic dishes on offer. 1454 W. 86th St., 317-884-6982, amaraindy.com $$

Shrimp and grits are a signature here, with some of the most butterrich grits you’ll find in the city. But gumbo, whether seafood or chicken and sausage, is a Borel family recipe you’ll wish was your own. Jambalaya, cheesy etouffee, and well-stuffed po’ boys with catfish, andouille, and soft-shell crab will definitely land this place on your weekly lunch list.

The Loft Restaurant + FINE DINING With its pastoral setting on the

grounds of an artisanal dairy farm, Traders Point Creamery’s farmstead restaurant (housed in one of several restored historic barns) feels like a working model for farm-to-table dining. Some of the ingredients on executive chef Jon Warner’s menu are grown on-site, and it

would be a shame to pass on the charcuterie board, an appetizer featuring the creamery’s award-winning cheeses. Niman Ranch steaks, seasonal fish, and house-made yeast rolls are always solid choices, as is the burger made with 100-percent grass-fed beef and dressed with caramelized onions, snappy bread-and-butter pickles, bacon, and cheddar.

Brenda Sánchez’s festive, authentic Southside Colombian eatery comes from the popular Latin and South American dish patacones—flattened, fried plantains filled with everything from shredded barbecue chicken criollo to cheese, corn, and shredded beef. But more familiar fare includes generously stuffed arepas, hearty sub sandwiches, and colorfully conceived hot dogs like the Perro Hawaiano, which comes dressed up with pineapple and a creamy pink sauce, or the Super Perro, which is topped with every meat in the kitchen, quail eggs, and a special house sauce. Mazorcada (heaps of sweet corn topped with meats, cheeses, and potato sticks) is a delectably novel side dish or a light lunch portion, and fruit drinks and desserts, especially obleas (wafer cookies filled with dulce de leche and cheese), are worth the extra calories for a flavor experience like no other in the city. 7415 U.S. 31, 317-692-9829, mrpatakon.com $$

The Parent Trap HOVERING, WORRYWART MOMS AND DADS DO KIDS NO FAVORS. AND THEY’RE A MENACE TO PUBLIC HEALTH TO BOOT. BY P H I L I P G U L L E Y

M Y GRANDDAUGHT E R, Madeline, is in third grade, and I’ve been tasked with picking her up from school when one of her parents can’t. She only lives five miles from school and has two perfectly good legs, so I don’t see why she can’t walk home. But things are done differently these days, which I realized last year when she scraped her leg and instead of rubbing dirt on it, her mother cleaned it with soap. If we ever go to war, I fear we’ll get our clocks cleaned. Transporting children back and forth from school has become an all-day affair for some parents, who drop off their child in the morning and then circle around the block so they can be first in line when their child emerges seven hours later to go home. The decline in national productivity can be attributed to parents spending most of their time in school parking lots. There they sit, 50 yards from their child should an emergency arise. The solution, as I see it, is for 120
