Food scene

Shigs is a local favorite and it has never disappointed our bellies! The mac n cheese is life changing along with the burnt ends. Do not pass on the corn spoon pudding....sounds weird...tastes amazing.

Locals come to Conjure for the best cup of coffee in the city. They roast some amazing coffee as well so if you need a bag of coffee, swing by in the morning! You'll get a great bag of locally roasted coffee and a free cup for purchasing your bag :) They will grind the coffee for you which we would recommend. Parking is not great but just find a spot in the neighborhood and enjoy the fresh air. It's worth the trip.

If you're looking to take clients or the boss out this is your place. Call for reservations. The service is exceptional and the atmosphere is great. You could easily go casual and not feel out of place but it's a nice place to dress up as well. This is my annual birthday spot. Food is local and always changing. Get the ribeye however its being prepared and you'll thank yourself.

Locals flock here for the insanely well executed food. If you're looking for a fun night out with a group get the whole roasted duck!

Irish pub at it's finest. Great service and even better food. Lots of beer options and if you're really craving a warm up you can sit by the fire place.

Sightseeing

Our botanical conservatory does a great job changing up their displays every few months! There's always something fresh and seasonal. A great place in the winter to feel like you're outside without the winter temps. There are even tables in the lobby to work at if you'd like. And a coffee shop (Conjure) to grab a snack and a cup.

The exhibits are always changing which offers something new all the time. Worth taking a stroll through to enjoy local and regional artists. There's a special art experience room for kids if you're traveling with a family!

The Embassy is a local legend. When expensive repairs threatened to sink the theatre for good, locals rallied to raise the funds needed to rebuild it! Kids even sold cheese door to door as a fund raiser. They host really fun events, concerts and plays which you can learn more about on their website.

City/town information

If you aren't from the midwest you should check out Shipshewana for a glimpse into the local Amish community. You'll find lots of shops and horse and buggy rides. But no booze. It's a dry town.

Sunday Funday

If you're looking for a Christian church while you're here we recommend City Church. Sunday's 9 and 11 (online and in person at 11 am). Super diverse group of folks and their worship is worth seeing even if you're not into church.

Neighborhoods

Foster Park is a lovely place for a walk or a picnic. If you're a house nerd you will love the neighborhood across the street. Start your walking house tour on Old Mill Road and enjoy the many historic homes!

Beer, wine, and liquor

Barrel Proof Liquors is a locally owned liquor store and is a local favorite for bourbon hunting. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful.

Roundabouts

If there is a driver to your left, yield. If there is not, keep driving. It's not a stopping circle. Don't be afraid.
