A Little Bit of Culture!

Hey everyone! We had a great time tonight at India Garden in Broad Ripple for July's Arts and Culture event! We enjoyed some delicious Indian cuisine, and then went to BRICS (Broad Ripple Ice Cream Station) on the Monon Trail for some ice cream--a perfect summer treat! Be sure to look for the evite for the August Arts and Culture event: The Rathskeller on Tuesday, August 17th.

If you're looking to enjoy some additional culture around Indy, I definitely recommend checking out Devour Downtown, which goes from August 2nd-15th. Devour Downtown is basically a "restaurant week," and a variety of restaurants in the Downtown area offer fixed price menu deals. Check out http://www.devourdowntown.org/summer.html for more information!

Also, the Indianapolis Museum of Art Summer Movie Series is in full swing, featuring a different movie every Friday night through August 27th! For more information, see http://www.imamuseum.org/programs/films.
