PagodaWest Guide to Speedway
Food scene
Dawson's is quintessential Speedway! The food & drinks are amazing, and the people are even better! Atmosphere is relaxed and great for adult-only groups or families.
MUST TRY: Calamari. Maybe the best you'll ever have! (There's really nothing on their menu you can go wrong with though!)
TIP: Mention "PagodaWest" and your appetizer is on us!

A hidden gem! Annually voted Indy's best burgers! The onion rings are delicious, as are their giant schooners of draft beer. While the surroundings are simple, the food is more than memorable! NOTE: Cash only

This old railway trail is now nicely paved and a great place to walk, run, or cycle. It's eventually planned to extend all the way to Indiana's western border! We like to hop on at Leonard Park (just west of 15th & Lynhurst, behind the police department). From there, you can take it east to Main Street. And our kids insist the route ends north a bit up Main St at Fundae's. :)

Sightseeing
The canal provides a lovely walk through downtown Indy. A complete loop is about 3 miles, taking you past the Eiteljorg Museum, NCAA Hall of Champions, a few memorials, and out to the White River. On summer nights the atmosphere can become a bit raucous after dark, so we recommend daytime visits.
