MUSIC FOOD+ DRINK ARTS SCREENS

There are a few things that scream fall: fuzzy, oversized sweaters. Orange leaves crunching under boots. The dreaded abundance of pumpkin spice lattes. There’s other things that belong to only Indy in the fall. Big events move from Klipsch to the Lawn at White River and then inside to Old National Centre. Race cars and their drivers stop popping up everywhere, and our sports attention shifts to Andrew Luck and our beloved IU and Butler basketball teams. Oktoberfest celebrations appear. There’s more, and you’ll find it all inside this guide. Best spots to eat on bike trails; best local sports events to tune into; best festivals and concerts to put on your calendar, plus an abundance of arts events, all the way through November.

Of course, there’s always so much more on NUVO.net, where we’re constantly updating our calendars and location guides, blogging about restaurant and venue openings, and posting photos of our merry band of altweekliers goofing around in Indy.

It’s still rather hot as I write this, but that won’t last long. Fall is coming, people. And with it: changing leaves, pumpkin spice garbage, and concerts. Lots and lots of concerts.

Also, some food-heavy fests that also feature music appear in our food events section on page 18, 20-21. Enjoy the fall, my friends. And stay away from the pumpkin spice. Apple cider all the way.

Egyptian Room at Old National Centre, 502 N. New Jersey St., prices vary, all-ages

Styx 7 p.m. Singer and keyboard player Lawrence Gowan can distinctly remember two periods — life before Styx, and life after Styx. Before, of course, Gowan had a successful Canadian pop career (his single “A Criminal Mind” received a pack of awards in the mid-’80s). But life after Styx? Or, more accurately, life with Styx, is a different beast. Gowan took over vocal and keyboard duties from Dennis DeYoung in 1999, and released his first album with the band, Cyclorama, in 2003. Since, Styx has picked up a whole new fanbase of young’ins, many of whom weren’t even born when “Come Sail Away” was debuting on the radio. Of course, they’re young enough to have seen “Come Sail Away” featured in the pilot of cult teen show Freaks and Geeks.

Art vs. Art 2016 Primary Colours’ Art vs. Art is an exceptionally brutal painting competition that finds paintings competing head-to-head, with the winner determined by audience voting. The winning painting in a bracket of 32 moves on the next round; the loser, unless someone intercedes to buy it, is destroyed via a method determined by a spin of the Wheel of Death. A cash prize is awarded to the tournament winner. Mike Wiltrout and The Modes of Death provide tunes.

Grace Potter 7 p.m. In our 2013 cover feature, Potter said, “My main thing about sexism in the industry is when people say, ‘You’re my favorite chick rocker!’ or ‘You’re one of the best female musicians out there.’ To me, what is with the discrepancy? Why are there ‘female’ and ‘male’ musicians? Why is ‘female’ a category all on its own? What have we done to define ourselves from just being musicians? [We] live in a culture where people don’t even think twice about saying that. “You’re my favorite chick rocker; you’re one of the best chick rockers since. ...’ and then they list off every other woman who’s ever had blonde, long hair and yelled a little louder than normal. It’s a weird thing. As frustrating as it is, I see why people do that. Humans have a deep need to categorize, put things in their place and make things make sense to them. And females in music — I gather what people really absorb from a woman performing versus a man is that vulnerability and sometimes lyrics that cut right to the heart of the matter a bit more. But I’ve never done that. So I get what people mean, because there are certain female musicians who are iconic as women and have chosen to really identify themselves through being women. The fact that they are women makes them who they are [as musicians]. But in my case, I literally never try and sound like another female singer-songwriter.”

Andrew W.K.: The Power of Partying 11 a.m. Okay, this isn’t a concert either, but we’re not going to miss a chance to talk about how the King of Partying is coming to Indiana to showcase his Party Party, a political party for the disaffected but still positive crew wanting to celebrating the inner experience of being a human being. This event features a lecture by Andrew, a Q&A session, then a chance to meet the party god, too. Of the tour, Andrew says: “The current climate in America isn’t always aiding us in how to best grapple with the fundamental complexities of being who we are — being at our best. During this 50 state odyssey, we aren’t looking for a specific stance on any particular political issue. Instead, we’re looking to fortify the foundation of our spirit, so that we can each follow our individual destiny and pursue our own personal exploration of life as best we can. We are uniting around what we have in common — our shared humanity. This tour is a coming together for the sake of partying together. Even if we have different ideas from one another, or don’t know all the answers to all the questions, we can still party together.”

The sun is setting on the summer months and the days are slowly get shorter and the leaves are morphing into a colorful mosaic of hues from a rustic palette. It’s bonfire weather. Time to escape into nature and enjoy days of hiking Indiana’s hilly landscapes, pedaling your bike lazily down the city’s many bike paths, crunching leaves along the way. It’s also the perfect time to swing by all of those new restaurants you weren’t able to make it to during your busy summer of vacationing. And, as always in Indy, there are plenty more new eateries and bars on the horizon. Fall also means the return of a few of our favorite festivals like Indy Irish Fest, Canvitational, Oktoberfest and even a few new — but equally as exciting — opportunities for community gatherings. Make sure and come to these with a big appetite, whether it be for food or drink, as there’s always so much deliciousness to enjoy. Make sure and keep in the know with the almost daily updates on nuvo. net/food.

FALL FOOD & DRINK EVENTS Even when the weather gets colder, Indianapolis keeps the party going with more and more events. Fall seems to be the time everyone celebrates their heritage, and wherever there is a celebration of a culture, there too will be plenty of food and drink. We’re excited that a few new events have made their way into the city, including Indiana’s first mead and cider festival, two libations that go perfectly with fall weather. So put on your jacket and get out there and celebrate.

Meadful Things & Outciders Festival 1-5 p.m. In its first year, this festival is all about one of the oldest styles of alcohol that is finally garnering a larger following, and that is mead (aka honey wine). New Day Meadery is gathering meaderies and cideries from all over the world and bringing them right here to Indianapolis. It is the first ever mead and hard cider festival in the state. Not only will you spend the day tasting offerings from over 30 vendors, but if you’d like you may head home with a new furry friend compliments of F.A.C.E.: they will have cats and dogs for you to meet and adopt. It’s going to be a sweet event, pun intended.

Sun King Canvitational 1-5 p.m. Get your hands on some cans at Sun King’s annual festival featuring solely craft breweries that can their beers. Every year Sun King invites breweries from all around the country to bring their canned beers to Indy; it is one of the few beer fests where we get the opportunity to try some brews that aren’t ever sold in the state. As with all beer festivals, it’s also a great day to meet and make friends with other beer lovers, since it’s all about community.

So put on your finest lederhosen and head to the Circle for an evening of celebrating traditional German culture in the best way possible, by eating, drinking and being merry. P.S.

Big Lug Canteen This craft brewery and gastropub exceeds their self-proclaimed goal of creating decent food and pretty good beer.

Indy Irish Fest varying times Three days of everything from the Emerald Isle. Irish dancers will dance to the tunes of live Irish music from bands like The Fighting Jamesons and Off Kilter. There will be plenty of Guinness and Harp and of course local beers like Ring of Dingle as well. Use those brews to wash down food like the always popular Reuben Fries or a standard Irish stew. It’s a weekend when we’re all Irish and we can all come together, sing a rebel song or two and enjoy a fine pint.

NEW RESTAURANTS TO CHECK OUT The influx of new restaurants opening in Indianapolis is never-ending and the growth of the dining scene here seems to be at an exponential rate. There’s no way to keep up with and try every new restaurant, but we’ve compiled a few that should definitely be on your radar.

Kizuki Ramen & Izakaya Ramen. It’s a thing, and now we have multiple places to fill our noodle soup void. Kizuki is a chain from Japan and it’s the real deal. While they offer the ever popular classic ramen, they also have a few options that you may not be familiar with, including one of the most flavorful broths, Tonkotsu. Also, if noodle soup isn’t your thing (and you’re crazy if it isn’t), they have tons of different options for you to enjoy like crispy Chicken Karaage or the always tasty gyoza dumplings. 2450 E. 146th St. (Carmel), 317-218-3553, kizuki.com

Metro Diner It’s a chain, but that’s not so bad when they make food this damn good. This is a traditional, Southern, greasy spoon sort of place, with tenderloins, chicken and waffles, meatloaf and a breakfast menu that could give you a coronary, but that is what makes it so sinfully good. The portion sizes here are massive, so

come with an appetite. The only thing they’re missing is milkshakes and this would be the diner we’ve always wanted to have around. 3954 E. 82nd St., 317-296-8262, metrodiner.com

Open Society Indy native Brian Baker and his team have been working diligently to prepare for the opening of this restaurant and wine bar. Now that they’re open, they are serving up South American-inspired dishes paired with a large selection of wines and a coffee bar unlike any we’ve seen in Indianapolis. Baker studied many culinary courses in New York City, including culinary art and an intensive sommelier program.

Oso’s Republic This little Dominican restaurant flew in under the radar across the street from the popular Plow & Anchor and is still a hidden gem. The good news is now you know about it, and they serve some incredible dishes here. If you’re looking for a traditional Caribbean dish like stewed goat, it’s so tender, peppery and flavorful here. Or try something more recognizable like a pulled pork sandwich.

BEST BET Gallery Pastry Shop This little place popped up overnight in SoBro and is kicking ass at making some tasty European-style pastries. It is owned and operated by a former chef from the Harrison Culinary School and a chef who recently was inducted into the elite Disciples of Escoffier. All we can say, through a mouthful of macarons, is you gotta check this place out. (P.S. Get an eclair.) 1101 E. 54th St., 317-820-5526, thegallerypastryshop.com

It is a great place to stop in for a quick tasty lunch and one of the few places in Broad Ripple to serve seafood. Anywhere that has crab legs is a place I can get behind. 6336 Guilford Ave.

Joella’s Hot Chicken (COMING SOON) Though we sadly had to say goodbye to the tasty 96th Street Steakburgers, the space isn’t staying empty very long, and the new venture is going to be hot. Joella’s has already proven just how awesome their hot chicken is in their four Kentucky-based locations. We should expect it to be here sometime in September; our mouths will be watering until then. 4715 E. 96th St., joellashotchicken.com

Big Woods Pizza The Big Woods Brewing guys (also the bottlers of QuaffON! Ales), after scoring a huge hit with their first Nashville pub and restaurant, expanded operations onto Nashville’s main drag with an all-ages pizza shop that’s become the pie of choice once you’re out of smelling distance of Mother Bear’s in B-town. (In fact, some fairly passionate discussions over the supremacy of Big Woods or Bear’s have erupted ‘round these parts.) In addition to the transcendent crust/sauce/toppings combos and award-winning brews, the smoked chicken wings are another reason to make Big Woods a destination. All those quality dishes are spectacularly represented at BWP’s second location on Main in Speedway. The design of the new digs mimics the original brewpub in Nashville. 10th and Main Streets (Speedway), quaffon.com

Don Juan Sandwiches Peruvian cuisine is hard to come by in Indianapolis so we were excited when we learned about this new little family-owned sandwich spot on the city’s Southeastside. They are quickly becoming well-known for their friendly service and their incredibly flavorful lechon and lomo saltado sandwiches. Add a glass of their fresh sangria to any meal to make it as authentically Peruvian as possible. 3720 E. Raymond St., 317-377-4677

Geeks Seafood, Salad and Subs The newest place to take over a spot in Broad Ripple that has seen many restaurants come and go, Geeks brings exactly what you would expect to the table: seafood, salad and subs.

From the husband and wife duo behind Brugge Brasserie and Outliers Brewing Co. comes a restaurant unlike any other in Indy. Ted Miller and Shannon Stone traveled all over the world before resettling in Indianapolis and this new venture is set to bring us food styles from Spain, Japan and many other countries. They teamed up with the owner and chef of the incredibly popular Milktooth in order to create the menu. The spot has been in limbo for almost four years and is finally set to open this September, and we couldn’t be more excited. 608 N. Park Ave.

Round Town Brewery (COMING SOON) One of Indy’s 20-year brewing veterans, Jerry Sutherlin, is opening his first brewery in the historic Biltwell Center on the city’s Near Westside. It is very much an area that is underserved in the dining department. With Jerry and his partner Max Schenck at the helm this is bound to be a great brewery that specializes in crafting high quality classic-style brews. Look for it to be open in the coming months. 950 S. White River Parkway W. Dr., 317-493-1375

Sea Salt on Massachusetts This one is still very much in the preliminary process of opening, but it will bring a much needed addition of a worthwhile seafood restaurant on Mass Ave. The place promises to have pan-roasted seafood, fish tacos, ceviche, and plenty of other options from the ocean, not to mention a long list of Indiana-sourced meats. This is one we’re excited for. 505 Massachusetts Ave., seasaltonmass.com

THE CULTURAL TRAIL

WE OFFER 12.05 SPIRITS IN FLIGHTS. CHOOSE FROM 4 WHISKEYS AS WELL AS OUR VODKA AND GIN.

This list was nearly impossible to narrow down. Indianapolis culture is quickly becoming food- and drink-centric and therefore, this path literally runs by dozens of great restaurants and bars. I was able to narrow it down to two for each category, but this is by no means everywhere you should be stopping during this ride.

COFFEE Calvin Fletcher’s Coffee Co. It was given a Best of Indy award by you, our readers, and for good reason; not only is the coffee perfect (especially their dirty chai), they also give all of their tips to a local charity each month. It’s the perfect place to take a break from the ol’ dusty trail and relax with a book, or to simply people watch. 647 Virginia Ave., 317-423-9697, cfcoffeecompany.com

Pearings Cafe & Frozen Yogurt One of the few places in the city certified to serve the famous Intelligentsia coffee, this modern café is located just off the trail and is one of the few coffee shops that stays open late, which is always helpful when you’re a night owl. They also have froyo, so don’t forget to indulge a bit. 6 W. Washington St., 317-608-6456, pearingscafe.com

BREAKFAST Milktooth The chef has been nominated for multiple James Beard awards for a reason; Jon Brooks and his team are continuously pushing out some of the most inventive plays on classic breakfast foods. If that isn’t enough, they serve one of the tastiest lattés in the city and their sour cream biscuits are unbelievable (and my grandma’s from the South). 534 Virginia Ave., 317-986-5131, milktoothindy.com

Peppy Grill If you are looking for a more straightforward breakfast, have no fear, Peppy Grill is the holein-the-wall breakfast diner you’re looking for.

Fountain Square Brewery

American Legion Mall Bring a lunch or have Clustertruck deliver a meal straight to you; it’s across the street so it will take no time at all and be hot and ready and way better than Little Caesar’s. In the heart of the city, there is no green area that is more beautiful and solemn than this expanse. Once you’re done enjoying your meal, take some time to visit and think about the history behind the many monuments honoring our country’s heroes. 700 N. Pennsylvania St., clustertruck.com

Subito If you’re looking for a less adventurous but equally delicious lunch stop, this is the perfect place. Classic lunch sandwich offerings like Cubans and chicken Caesar wraps are on the menu, but if you’re doing it right, you’ll get that famous lobster bisque. One thing to keep in mind is they have no tables inside, so you’ll be eating outside, which isn’t a bad spot this time of year. 44 Virginia Ave., 317-220-8211, subitosoups.com

SNACKS Natural Born Juicers Sure, eating all of this great food and drinking alcohol sounds good in theory, but maybe you just need a healthy juice to help you power through that bike ride. Natural Born Juicers is at the very end (or beginning, depending where you start) of the trail and some greens and fruit will help energize or re-energize your body. 865 Massachusetts Ave., 317-797-4254, naturalbornjuicers.com

If you want a beer, why would you go anywhere else in this city other than a local brewery? Especially when you can pull your bike right up to the door, walk in, order a beer, and sit down to rest your weary legs on a big comfy couch. 1301 Barth Ave., 317-493-1410, fountainsquarebrewery.com

NEW Rook In an out-of-the-ordinary move, this Fletcher Place establishment closed down its original location, expanded its menu and became hands down one of the best restaurants in the city. Since its reopening, Carlos Salazar’s menu has taken Asian cuisine to new heights for Indianapolis and it gets better every time I return. The fact that they have possibly the best gin cocktail list in the city doesn’t hurt either. 501 Virginia Ave. #101, 317-737-2293, rookindy.com

Marrow It’s hard to define exactly what Marrow’s menu is going for; it claims comfort food, and in a way it is, but it’s not the comfort food you’re imagining and I promise that’s a good thing. The food here is comfort food from around the world, and with their eye on locally-sourced ingredients the team at Marrow is pushing out dishes we haven’t necessarily seen before, but it’s easy to feel comfortable while noshing here. 1106 Prospect St., 317-986-6752, marrowindy.com

DINNER Black Market

If juice doesn’t cut it for you, well, then Cafe Nonna is pretty much the exact opposite. The little Italian cafe specializes in gelato, which is like ice cream but way, way better. If you’re going to make the most out of it, get the affogato; espresso and gelato were made for each other.

When Black Market first opened, they were doing foods that Indianapolis had never seen; dishes that specialized in offal and the generally unused cuts of meat adorned the menu. They are still serving this style and so are a ton of other popular restaurants around town, but they were the first and are still at the top of their game. Also, they have one of the best patios in the city and their rum selection is far and away the best in Indy.

For years this was my favorite coffeeshop in Louisville and finally they opened a location here in Indy. The coffee is incredible, but if you’re going to do Quills right, you have to order the Alchemist; it’s a spicy, cinnamon-y treat.

This quaint, modern Italian café was one of the first canal-front eateries. While they serve lunch and dinner, the part to be most excited about (especially on a hot summer day) is their fresh, homemade Italian ice. 310 W. Michigan St., 317-797-9185, frescoindy.com

Librería Donceles: Pablo Helguera through Dec. 20, various times, Librería Donceles is a traveling bookstore and installation that was founded by Pablo Helguera. At each stop, Helguera makes sure that it’s the sole Spanish-language used bookstore in that city. Viewers are allowed to purchase one book at a price they set, and with over 20,000 titles that is a tall order. The exhibit is intended to highlight “equity through the physical presence of a bookstore,” according to chief Big Car curator Shauta Marsh. Our own Dan Grossman interviewed Helguera, who told him: “I am an avid used bookstore fan, and a bibliophile. Also as a Latin American artist and writer, I can’t help but notice the scarcity of Spanish-language books in the US, despite the fact that there are millions of Latinos in the country. The last Spanish-language bookstore in New York City, where there are more than 2 million Latinos, closed in 2007. So I felt it was important, as an act of resistance and promotion of the Spanish language, to open one of my own — and show in this climate of cultural stereotyping that every culture is very intellectually complex — that it produces philosophy, science and literature.” ListenHear, 2620 Shelby St., FREE

11:59 p.m. Sean Connery stars in this psychedelic sci-fi adventure, which follows a member of a warrior clan in a post-apocalyptic Earth where the population is divided into immortal “Eternals” and mortal “Brutals.” Connery’s character infiltrates the land of eternal life, and tensions rise as he takes the risk of upsetting society’s balance. Roger Ebert called it “a genuinely quirky movie, a trip into a future that seems ruled by perpetually stoned set decorators.” Trippy!

This is a slice of movie magic you won’t want to miss. This series is presented in partnership with IU Libraries.

We did it. The empty, soul-crushing void that extends from Groundhog’s Day to Labor Day is nearly over. We’ve survived another NFL offseason. For Colts fans it’s been a longer wait than usual. When the Colts kick off the 2016 season on Sept. 11, it will have been 251 days since Josh Freeman and Ryan Lindley (remember them?!) mercifully ended the 2015 campaign with a season-finale win. Last season was disappointing and the least fun we’ve all had since the Curtis Painter Year from Hell. Nevertheless, there is hope for The Horseshoe in 2016 — for the night is darkest just before the dawn. Andrew Luck has a fully-functioning kidney and a new $123 million contract to boot. And yes, he still has his flip phone. Coach Chuck Pagano and General Manager Ryan Grigson are back and have vowed to get along and work together. The ageless Robert Mathis should be back to full strength, ready to terrorize opposing QBs for all 16 games. And surely the offensive line will be better with the addition of first round pick Ryan Kelly, the stud center from Alabama. Despite these positive vibes, unlike last year, the experts are counting out Andy and the boys. Everyone’s enamored by the up-and-coming Jaguars and Titans or the Texans and their new pretty-boy QB. Well, we’ll believe it when we see it here in Indy. I like the Colts to go 10-6 and bring the AFC South crown back to the Circle City where it belongs.

Week 13 8:30 p.m., at New York Jets. Monday Night Football in East Rutherford! I know, the Jets were decent last year. Went 10-6. Still a pretty good chance they will have totally collapsed by this point in 2016.

4:05 p.m., at Oakland Raiders. Christmas in California! The Raiders might actually be decent this year — maybe. If so, beware of the Black Hole. Fun Fact: the last time the Colts played in Oakland, Peyton Manning sealed the victory with a 27-yard naked bootleg. Give it a look on YouTube – pretty hilarious.

4:25 p.m., at Green Bay Packers. The lads should be pleased this one is in November as opposed to December, but there’s still a chance Lambeau will be frozen at this point. Bundle up, and don’t leave this one up to an Aaron Rodgers Hail Mary.

Go on. You can say it. Sometimes you just like looking at the pictures.

PRO BASKETBALL OCTOBER 2016 through APRIL 2017 (REGULAR SEASON) Indiana Pacers After the disappointing 2014-15 NBA season, Larry Bird tweaked the Pacer roster

and they fought their way back into the playoffs in 2015-2016. It was a welcomed improvement, but a seventh seed and first round playoff exit isn’t good enough for this basketball-crazed state. So Larry went back to tinkering with the roster this offseason. But first he made a change at the top. After accumulating the most wins in the Indiana Pacers’ NBA history, rejuvenating a forlorn franchise and taking the team to the postseason five times, Bird decided not to offer Head Coach Frank Vogel a new contract. Bird introduced former Associate Head Coach Nate McMillan as the new head man. Who knows, maybe this is the right call. But we still should pause and thank Frank for bringing the Pacers out of the post-brawl-dark-ages era and back into relevance. Thanks for everything, Franky. Bird then traded Hometown Hero George Hill (Broad Ripple/IUPUI) for another local kid, Jeff Teague (Pike High School). He also traded a draft pick for bruising power forward Thaddeus Young and signed veteran big man Al Jefferson and guard Aaron Brooks. The changes feel promising, and it seems Larry’s got the team moving in the right direction from a roster configuration standpoint. But at the end of the day, we’ll need Paul George to become a legitimate MVP candidate and young center Myles Turner to make a jump for this team to contend in the East. It should be fun to watch.

Drumstick Dash 9 a.m. Every year on Thanksgiving morning, tens of thousands — we’re not kidding — of runners take part in this trip through Broad Ripple to Keystone Ave., back on Kessler, up Central and Riverview and wrapping up on the corner of Broad Ripple Ave. and Guilford. While it’s amazing that people will do this on Thanksgiving morning, it may be even more amazing considering all that went on in Broad Ripple the night before. (Look out for the hungover twenty somethings!) The event’s broken up into a 4.5 Mile Competitive Run/Walk, a 2.75 Mile Fun Run/Walk and the Lil’ Gobbler’s Run (about 50 yards in BlueMile parking lot), and the charity that sees the bucks is Wheeler Mission. For those who are out of town Thanksgiving morning, there’s an “Outta Town Dash Around.” For a little more than 20 bucks you get a shirt and participate wherever you may be, scout’s honor.
