It’s hard to say what you’ll be in the mood for when lunchtime rolls around, so give yourself plenty of options by stopping by the famous Indianapolis City Market. This small, yet bustling market has plenty of meal choices—from vegan food at Three Carrots to Indian dishes at The Spice Box to breakfast, lunch, and dessert crepes at 3 Days in Paris. You also can’t go wrong with more traditional options like Circle City Soups, Gomez BBQ, and Mauricio’s Cheesesteak Grill. Don’t leave without grabbing a snack from Pat’s Philly Pretzels, Twenty Two Juice, or Circle City Sweets!
